Finally - A-50mm f2.8 Macro photos!
Noticed a few tiny specks of dust in the lens (as is normal for a lens of this age) as I was taking the photos. These do not affect the image at all.

Price now reduced to £95 delivered inclusive of fees etc.

Samsung 35mm f2 now sold, thanks giofi.

Still available - Pentax smc-A 50mm Macro f2.8 and Sigma 50mm f2.8 Macro.

Sigma photos -













Sorry about the lack of photos for the A 50mm f2.8, I've been exceptionally busy the last few days so haven't had a chance. I'll try to put some up by Sunday. Sorry especially to Dr Mhuni who asked for photos a few days back.

Hooky Gold is my favourite - pale, light and very tasty, in fact all of the Hook Norton beers are good.

Having just purchased a FA 43mm I now need to sell some of my other lenses to fund it (hopefully before the wife finds out!). I have listed some of these on here before.

They are:

Pentax FA 35mm F2 (Samsung version) - £250
Sharp sharp sharp! As new, with case, caps and box

Pentax smc-A 50mm F2.8 Macro - £100
Optically perfect, but a tiny bit of paint missing from the barrel. With original box and caps. This is such a great lens, the one I'm most sad about selling

Sigma DG 50mm Macro F2.8 - £155
A great performer. With caps, no box. Mint.


Payment by paypal or bank transfer.
Based in Watford if you want to pay cash and collect.
All prices include P&P but you must pay the paypal fees.
My ebay username is dynamosh if you want some feedback.

I'll probably stick them on ebay after a week if no-one wants them.

This is a terrible story - makes me realise that despite a few complaints at least we can pretty much do as we please within reason as photographers in the UK wihout the fear of reprisals present in some parts of the world.

I know if you're looking for a 31mm Limited then this probably won't interest you but I have a FA 35mm F2 that I'm willing to sell for £270. If you're anything like me you lust after the 'magic' of the 31mm Limited but this is a pretty good replacement if you can't find one at an affordable price. It's Samsung branded

If not ffordes have a second hand 31mm Limited at the mo for £599.

Hey Phill,

Welcome!

My first Pentax was a K200D. I can certainly recommend it if you can find one on ebay cheapish (£250-300 should do it).
A good upgrade on a K100D and an alternative to a K10D (newer, smaller and easier to learn the digital basics IMO)

I got bitten hard when I joined the Pentax mould. After just over a year I now own a K20D, a MG, ME and P30 and around 12 lenses!!! It's addictive let me tell you!

Good luck, looking forward to seeing shots of your chickens...

I remember this time last year ordering a DA 50-200 from Jessops for £39. It never materialised...

I now have the WR version so I'm not too traumatised.
Their 'great price' deals seem to be a bit hit and miss. I have the Sigma 10-20 and it's great; so if anyone does manage to get it at this price good luck to them!

Mine was a Minolta Dimage Xt.

It was great! 3.2 MP but A4 prints from it still hang on my wall today.

(I'm cheating a bit as I did have a few disposable film cameras when I was really little).

I've recently acquired a MG and a ME - so I'm using film for the first time apart from my disposable forays - and I'm loving it.

Sounds interesting, thanks for the info.
As I already have a FA 50mm 1.4 and the Tammy 90mm macro for potraits I think I'll give this one a miss.
