Thanks for the correction, I always thought that if it wasn't an A then it had to be M...

I think this lens does not need much introduction: a real beauty capable of producing extremely shallow DOF and gorgeous bokeh.

It's in a near-mint condition and in perfect working order (see pictures below):

(it has rear and front caps, although they are not the originals).

I'm selling it for 500£.

Local collection (London area) preferred due the value of the item.

Cheers!

Well, the lens says PK-A on the aperture ring and was advertised as such...

(this is an image from the ebay page, you can see the PK-A down there)

I once got a Tokina 60-300mm f4-5.6 that had a similar problem, but it was because the flange was too big, so I unscrewed and removed and it worked fine (the A position worked correctly, although I needed to set it to f4 before being able to remove it).

Hi, I just got a second hand Miranda 28mm f2.8 PKA on ebay; and when trying it out I found that it does not fit in my Pentax K-01... It only does a fraction of the normal turn.

The camera is OK, as I've used other Pentax and non Pentax lenses without any issues.

Here's a video of the problem:

Is it a faulty lens or maybe there is a trick to fit it properly?

Kind regards!
