Hope you won't mind me asking what your opinions of the 16-85 are? Presuming you have had the chance to use it of course!

I had intended purchasing one to replace my excellent but ageing Sigma 17-70 2.8 - 4.5 but alas I procrastinated for too long.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts....

PS Same question to any other lucky soul who acquired one of these...

I've just suffered a bout of LBA and alas I fear another attack looming.....

A useful option to have sometimes!

Impressive collection of photos on your link. Thank you for the pleasure of looking at them....

I own one of these which I bought new. It's boxed and in pristine condition but not for sale.

I can however attest to it being a very fine lens indeed.

Good look with the sale Samson, I've seen these go for a great deal more than what you're asking.

Yes I'm afraid it's true, to my eternal shame I have admit to not reading the post thoroughly enough.

My humble and contrite apology to 7Avensis7.

Slinks back to the quiet box.......

I have a Cosina 100mm F3.5 AF Macro lens in case you are interested, It's not a Pentax lens but is a Pentax fit. It's in pristine condition with box, the auto focus version and is full frame. I do not have he 1:1 converter for it but I don't think is really needed on a crop frame camera and anyway, the converter will likely degrade the image. £100 including paypal fees plus postage of your choice.

Another worthy contender I think would be the Russian Jupiter 9. Its an F2 85mm lens albeit an m42 mount so you will need an adapter. It has a lovely rendering not expensive and can be readily found.

Good luck with your search

Impressive and I love the clarity of these....
