Comment by EricR posted on FS : Sigma 105mm f2.8 ex dg macro + EM-140 DG macroflash at 18/03/2011 - 13:06

Just bought myself a Sigma 70mm f2.8 macrolens and since I also have a Vivitar Series 1 105mm macro the Sigma 105mm is somewhat redudant in my collection.

The Sigma 105mm is in excellent condition. AF is working fine and the glass is withous blemishes.

Also a Sigma EM-140 DG Macroflash designed to use with the most popular macro lenses and can be used of course with the Sigma 105mm f2.8. I hardly used the flash so it's like new and comes with all the accessoires in box.


The Sigma 105mm is 250 GBP
The EM-140 DG macroflash is 140 GBP

If bought as a kit the price is 370 GBP. (new price of the Sigma 105mm alone already is higher than the price I offer the kit for).

I prefer getting paid by IBAN/BIC(SWIFT) banktransfer. I have a Paypal account but Paypal is not that fast when it comes to raising the receiving limits.

Shipping is from the Netherlands, shipping to the UK is 13GBP.

The DA* will give the best image quality, that 200mm is probably the sharpest 200mm (macro 200mm's excluded) Pentax-lens you will find.But the Sigma is a fine lens also and if you can handle a heavy lens the weight should not be a problem. The given weight is with the tripod collar and without it's close to 1200 gram. Still no ligthweight but handling of the lens is excellent in my opinion.

The Sigma OS-version is heavier but als much more expensive and the OS is not really needed if you compare it to the in body stabilisation of Pentax DSLR's.

A Pentax FA 28mm f2.8 in excellent condition. Quite a rare lens to find and one of the better options at this length. Not much AF-primes show up cheaper.

GBP 150


also a Kiron 105mm macro f2.8 in M42 mount. Converted from a MD-mount, because of the conversion infinity focus was lost. Macro mode between 1:10 and 1:1 works just fine.

The lens in good condition overall.Some marks near the mount. Optically it's in very good condition. Even without the infinity focus it's still the same legendary macrolens. I got myself a much more expensive Vivitar Series 1 105mm f2.5 with A-setting, so the Kiron has to go.

GBP 140

Open for trade offers on the Kiron and/or Pentax lens.

shipping from the Netherlands, shippings costs are 13 GBP

It's a very good lens, although I have the A-version now. Had the M-version too but sold it since the A-version is more convenient. But considering the price difference between the A and M-version I think the M-version is the best option. Optically these lenses are the same and the M-version is less rare and easier to come by.

The pro's outweigh the con's, by far even. Most won't care about the video mode, it's a nice extra but not the reason why you buy a DSLR.
