A very rare lens in superb condition. PK Mount.
No mold, dust, scratches or oil on the blades.
One of my very favourite lenses that I am reluctant to sell but as it's PK mount I have no choice since I no longer own a PK mount camera. Really sad to let this go as it does really wonderful things to specular highlights !
I'm including a metal hood for it that I bought separately. Non-original caps (front & bottom). The glass is fantastic, the barrel is 9/10.
Priced to sell at £250 plus postage (posted via RM Express : usually 1-2 days) to UK mainland only (other locations please send me a PM). Note I am back in the UK from the 17th December and will post sold items from any of my sales on the 17th or 18th.

Lens Babies (all virtually new and boxed in 'As New' condition)
The closest you can get to a Ryan Brenizer straight out of the box
These Tilt / Shift style lenses give you a new perspective and unique effects (see the links below). I love them !
Unfortunately I sold my Pentax cameras very soon after buying my Lens Baby kit so nearly a year on it's time for them to go.
Full set of Composer Pro (with Double Glass Optic), Edge 80 Optic & Macro Converters (8mm & 6mm)
Cost New US$630 however this kit can be winging it's way to you for just £325 plus post (posted via RM Express : usually 1-2 days) to UK mainland only (other locations please send me a PM). Note I am back in the UK from the 17th December and will post sold items from any of my sales on the 17th or 18th.

So my first Carl Zeiss (T* 2/50 Makro-Planar) lens has arrived. Before I have even mounted it on a camera and taken a shot I know that i'm in trouble, serious trouble. These things are just beautifully built. Damping on the focusing ring feels luxurious. The hood clicks into place with a tactile and audible click. Not overly heavy but has that hewn from solid feel that smacks of quality. Little things but they all add up to an overwhelmingly favorable first impression and make me want more!

The 35/2 is an absolutely awesome lens and I believe it's the cheapest in their range (might be wrong on that). The newer 28mm is held in very high esteem and I would also recommend the older Contax Zeiss 28/2.8 which was my landscape lens bar none on PK (in fact I may still have that - and it would be for sale if I do), incredibly sharp and with that Zeiss 'look'.
*goes downstairs to check* Nope, that ones gone but if I end up with a Pentax FF I'd have no hesitation in buying another one.

Absolutely insane price if in good condition !

Ferret - which Canon lenses did you have that you liked and which ones did you dislike ?
The Tamron 17-50/2.8 is an excellent lens for the money. Had it and loved it.
70/2.4 - excellent portrait and street lens.
150-500. Don't see where you are going with this. It's relatively slow so not really a portrait lens, nor for fast sports such as Boxing / Muay Thai etc. I think in your shoes I'd be looking at a 70-200/2.8 and find a TC that works on it. Much more useful unless you KNOW that you need the 500mm.
