I believe so and it seems a good deal, can anyone confirm, see link below:

not extensively tested these yet but the 40mm doesn't really stand out for me so will probably sell it. the 28mm 2.8 lens seems to get good results and can see it being more useful having a wider angle for low light which I don't have. So I think the 40mm will be sold first then after some playing with the others in coming weeks maybe sell others.

thanks hefty and clarky. as you say best to have a play and decide what I like. I will gte rid of the 50mm as I have the FA 1.4 already. I like the sound of the 40mm but it probably won't be that useful to me. I'll probably end up keeping the MX. We'll see. Holidays soon, plenty of opportunity to have a play.

it might have been a bit far for you from Australia

these were from Durham. very well looked after kit as far as I can tell.

Got it all for £100, woohoo! see below:




From a seller on a classified ad

Pentax MX 35mm SLR
Pentax M 50mm 1.7
Pentax M 40mm 2.8 (pancake lens)
Pentax M 28mm 2.8 (with polarizer)
Pentax M 100mm 2.8

in 30 minutes i'll be off to get the stuff and will post a pic of it all on flickr tonight or tomorrow for you all to see...

i'm concerned I might like the MX
then I'll have spent £100 I don't have!! hehe

no these are a local ad so thats the price, or possibly lower if I bargain. thanks for the advice. Hefty giving it the thumbs up has me more than a bit convinced. Hopefully its worth the hours drive and they are all in good condition.

I have the chance of getting something tonight and wondered if people had thoughts about what the person is asking for. Here is what they are selling:

Pentax MX, 50mm 1.7, 40mm 2.8 pancake, 28mm 2.8 (lenses all Pentax M)
£50

I am after the 40mm and 28mm particularly and figure the MX and 50mm lens may sell for coming close to £50 on ebay so I'll have 2 new lenses for very little.

They are also selling a Pentax 100mm 2.8 M lens and asking for £60. Is that a good price, tempted to offer £100 for the lot.

HDR in general seems over done for me but it works here as it's more of a subtle effect.

Pity I didn't know you were so near me John when you took this. Next time look me up
