For 95£ plus shipping, I am offering for sale the renowned Pentax K 28mm f3.5. In the words of Yoshihiko Takinami (known for his resolution tests of a large series of Pentax lenses), "I think K28/3.5 is best 28mm lens Pentax ever made because of its resolution, aberrations, color rendition, contrast, etc.".

Optically and mechanically, this copy is in excellent condition. Cosmetically, it shows normal signs of use, basically in the form of brassing on the aperture ring.

An article explaining the collaboration between Pentax and Zeiss is to be found here: http://www.marcocavina.com/articoli_fotografici/Pentax_28_2_M/00_pag.htm

Don't be put off by the fact that the page is in Italian: scroll down, and you'll see a graphical illustration that shows the optical construction of the Zeiss 28/2 and the Pentax 28/2. The optical formula is exactly the same.

This is a rare and outstanding lens, to be sure.

I should have added: the second picture in the previous post was taken with the 35-70, the third with the 70-210.

Hello,
Here's an image of the pair.
Let me know if you need more.
Best,
Dirk

Still available.

Hi,
I have a lovely SMC A 70-210 f4 and a surprising SMC 35-70 f4 which I'd like to offer as a set, say for 90£ shipping included.

PM sent.

Major price reduction: the set is now available for 90 £ plus shipping. (This is a price that you would easily pay for the 70-210mm alone.)
All best,
Dirk

Hello all,
Due to an irresistable inclination towards primes, I am offering for sale two insufficiently known and accordingly underrated zooms from the A-series:
Pentax-A 35-70mm f4 and 70-210mm f4.
Both come in impeccable optical and cosmetic condition.
The asking price is 125 £ for the set, shipping included.
Please send PM if you are interested or if you have questions.
All best,
Dirk
