I'm selling my FA100 to fund other endeavors.
The lens is mechanically in great shape, fully working order. AF-MF-Limiter switch and clamp work as intended. MF is good, AF is very fast. Glass is clean, aperture too, and snappy as should be. Aperture ring works flawlessly. Only niggle are few scratches on the outer shell, on the underbelly of the lens ext to the limiter switch above SN. But you have to look fairly close to see them.
They are visible in picture #3.
Asking price: £250 shipped via RMSD or International signed for within EU.

Really? I thought you like this one...
I'd rather sell the Tamron 17-50 (you can rebuy it later on) and keep the FA*24. Good copies don't come around too often. Besides, I'll kind of miss your presence in FA* club over at PF

Can you specify the shutter count exactly?
