Just to clarify, Robbie has been an absolute gentleman.

On receiving the lens today, I noticed the fungus and notified Robbie and provided a photo of the problem area that is behind the rear element of the lens (see link).

I also suggested that I would send the lens back for him to confirm prior to any refund.

Within minutes, he had refunded the transaction in full!

I then offered to send the lens back via normal post in order that he could have a go at stripping cleaning the lens and as you can see from the post above, he graciously declined my offer.

What can I say other than thank you ........... I will persevere with the lens meantime and perhaps have a go at stripping the lens myself once I have sourced suitable tools.

Robbie,

You have a PM

Apologies, to all, sold to Tonix and on its way to Slovenia.

Provisionally sold to Tonix ............

Bump!

Deal!

If you will include the postage I will transfer funds via Paypal this evening?

Up for sale here is a beautiful Pentax FA 50mm F1.7 lens boxed in fantastic condition both mechanically and optically. Only reason it is up for sale is that I am after a good Macro lens and as we all know they are not cheap, so unfortunately, this lens has to go even though it is probably the best optically of those I own.

Please see the link below for images of the lens taken earlier this evening.

I am looking for £170.00 delivered to a UK address.

All I have to do now is sell a body part ................
