Hello and thank you very much for your messages,

I know the question was not intended for me but I twice had opportunities to come back from Shinjuku with some nice gear I notably bought a 85mm there, also a 35 ltd, sigma 8-16 etc I remember BIC cameras, also Map camera with new and old gear, and there are many more shops in the surrounding area.
FA*200 macro is not easy to find even there ; back in 2015 I inquired and there was no copy available in the maybe 15 shops I visited. I was offered 2 copies of A* 200 instead but condition was not perfect at this time and I was undecided.
I will contact this Gentleman on marktplaats.
Have a lovely evening.

Fred

Hello Everyone,

I guess topic is self explainative,
Looking for this one for maybe 3 years, pristine condition and price within acceptable range...
Thank you in advance and best regards.

Preference for valid warranty.

Thank you in advance for your offers.

On top of usage which may evolve over time, price of lenses plays a great role in ever changing portfolio.

If I take my humble example, coming from compact after film cameras, I picked a K-x almost 2 years ago.
I needed time to get accustomed to it but quickly realized kit zooms (18-55 and 50-200) were not best ones!
I only bought sigma 105 macro and 70-300 so far but had to refrain from buying much more...

Just for macro 35 ltd and new Sigma 150 (once ported on K mount) to complement my lonely 105...
17-70 or 18-135 for a better all around lens
DA 12-24 or sigma 8-16 for ultra wide angle (no opinion on sigma 12-24 v2 yet)
FA 35 f2, DA* 55 for panos, portraits, lower light situations, Sigma 85 f1.4 would be good addition as well
Hopefully I am not that into wild animals yet!

I am not contemplating a 2nd body though a Ricoh/Pentax mirrorless with K mount on it would be mine quickly!

Net, all of these would cost me my marriage I guess!

Lens is now sold, flash is still available

Thank you guys for your numerous comments and links I have all checked.

Browsing again and again I have found this one at thinktankphoto, 2nd compartment is not large enough for me but a larger bag with same features would be perfect to me and probably to some of you too:

I think next step is to visit a real shop and figure out how I could "transform" a regular backpack compartment into something which could be photo dedicated. Using a beltpack could be an alternative as well...

Hey there

As described in title I am in the hunt of a new packback.
I have small shoulder bag I received with my kx in which i can store 1 body and 2 lenses. Problem is when I have regular backpack plus shoulder bag plus camera around my neck it is a bit too much of an effort.
To solve that I bought a vanguard arlen 59 last year which is great for hicking or macro trips (as I will take tripod, ringflash, water, coat etc with me) BUT this one has two photo dedicated compartments which communicate to stuck a tele, also this second compartment is not large enough for my usage.
Ideally I would like to load it with large bottle of water, clothes, food and some more stuff and still be able to have one body and 4 to 5 lenses in a photo dedicated compartment. Is that too much to ask for ? I can not find any backpack with these features so far.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.

One more bump before ebay!
