I know!!

Taking a hit on the FA50.. Bought it new!!

I'm still selling for less than other ebay sellers are doing?

What would you do?

BUMP.




Boxes and BubbleWrap... Ready to go!!

Hardly using these items and could use the cash for some studio (audio) gear...
I reckon I've put them up at a fair price and as they are funding my other hobby (music production) I honestly can't afford to negotiate on price...

First up: Pentax-F 1.7 AF Converter... £250 - includes delivery; which will be either RMSD or PF48









Secondly: Pentax-FA 28mm 2.8... I don't have the original lens cap but it is hooded (metal screw in) and there is a cap that fits the hood (see pics below)
£170 includes delivery (as above)













Finally: Pentax-FA 50mm 1.4... Again, no original lens cap but is hooded with a cap for the hood...
£170 includes delivery (same deal as other 2 items)

Welcome to the forums Darren!

There're a few decent critical and supportive eyes around here, so you should get what you're after!

I'd expect the 1.4 versions (A or M) to go for around £90 but as Steve says, for a 1.7 (which there are no shortages of...) you shouldn't be paying more than sixty quid!!

Hello Katy.

I have the DA50-200WR zoom that comes in handy every now and then... It does the job!

Don't discount older AF lenses in the F or FA ranges (the F's have a better rep, despite being a generation behind) there's some good glass in there...
And don't go too much on reviews - I've found they're not always accurate...

Welcome to the forum

I did warn you!

Yeah, pretty sweary... I didn't write it... Just played the part (in my best 'mockney' accent...)

Hi all...

A while ago I mentioned I was paid to be in a short film made by some Uni students

Here's that film I was in... Been on Youtube for a while... I didn't know...

If you're at work be warned... It's a bit 'sweary'...

The US/other-forum has a pretty comprehensive lens reviews section... A good resource...

I tend to stay away from manual-zooms as well... The Pentax-F (although AF) series of zooms seem to be quite sought after; moreso than the later FA-versions in many cases...

If you are wanting to try manual focus and don't have a large 'stable' of lenses already the obvious choice is one of the 'fast-fifties'...

M or A 50mm 1.7 (or 1.4) will give you a very diferent way of looking than offered by the 18-55kitlens... As will an M/A35mm f2 lens (which in my opinion is a much more useful focal length)

It's a slippery slope though...
