Hi Folks

I'm looking to buy a 60-250. Recently a pair of well known retailers both had 2nd hand copies at good prices but by the time I'd got the funds together I'd missed out

So if you're thinking of clearing space for FF please let me know your best price. I'd prefer a lens with a newer serial number due to the known issues with SDM on earlier production.

Kind regards

I think SRS has at least one for £649 on Ebay at present....

Still my favourite Pentax lens although I may well sell mine when the 70-200mm f2.8 is eventually released (although it would be hard pressed to better my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 OS)

I wouldn't worry too much about SDM, the early problems were mainly on the 16-50mm and 50-135mm (although the 17-70mm suffered as well), The rest of the DA* lenses are nowhere near as susceptible to quality issues.

Lenny that's the weirdest thing I have saved searches and alerts on eBay that didn't pick that up but did pick up the new for £849.

Thanks for the link
