For my 67ii kit I use a Manfrotto 055 XPROB tripod and Manfrotto 808 RC4 3 way head. Manfrotto is not ultimate hipness, but quite affordable, and good enough for my usage. I also need to point out that my longest lens is the SMC 165mm f2.8. I would guess that the 6x7 telelenses (400mm/600mm/800mm) are quite heavy and would possibly need a superior tripod/head combination.

Well Mr nocturnal, I suggest you check the facts before commenting!

I live in Norway, the basic charge for sending a package abroad is roughly 35 Euros.

I have seen the M35/2 for sale for GBP 200 at a British camera shop recently. They have one now for sale at B&H photovideo video for USD 269.95,-

I do not believe the lens is over priced.

Price reduction: 140 Euros + postage

This Pentax SMC M35/2 lens is in what I would call excellent condition. The optics are unmarked and clear. The paintwork on the body shows that the lens has seen some use, the paint is worn mostly around the aperture ring. The are some minor marks on the very front of the lens barrel, possibly caused by the fitting of filters or hoods. The white paint in the two letters "5" and "m" on the "beauty ring" is slightly dim. The aperture is snappy and well-functioning. This 35mm lens is close to a perfect "normal" lens on APS-C cameras.

I want 160 Euros for the lens + postage 35 Euros. I prefer to use PayPal.
















Thanks
Bjørn

I have purchased some Pentax equipment from a charity shop, and this lens was amongst the items. I have removed the protuding aperture lever guard, that is incompatible with Pentax DSLRs, and have tested the lens. I am quite impressed with the perfomance, but the "A" setting does not transmit the correct values to my camera. Is there a fix for this?

I like your "re-master" even better.

Very nice! I really like the composition and the out-of-focus rendering.

Great set. My favourite is number two.

Superb set! Thank you for sharing.

The boat directly under the beam was what I was hoping for, but it did not happen. I guess one can also "fix" it in PS, although I myself have no competence with PS, only Apple Aperture.
