Due to lack of use, I am looking to sell my FA20-35 f4 Lens .

Its in good/very good condition, few very minor marks here and there but thats nit picking. There are a few feint marks on the hood as well.

It comes with the original box, packaging. It has the Original Pentax Hood, as well as the Original Pentax front and rear lens caps, as well as a Pentax S90-100 soft case.

Looking for £350 inc UK P&P.

Shown here with my K-3II and FA*24 (neither included or for sale)

I have some soft spots for a few lenses:

FA* 24mm f2 - Wonderful build and lovely to use. Sharp in the centre wide open but also has a nice 3D quality that's helped with the fast aperture/shallow DOF. Also MUCH lower CA/PF than the FA20-35.

Voigtlander 58mm f1.4 Nokton / 90mm f3.5 APO - Both lovely build (Nokton more so) but both are sharp wide open and have the most lovely and smooth Out of Focus areas, with relatively low CA/PF too.
(the 90mm APO was sold due to the lack of use, but the 58mm Nokton more than makes up for it)

K 85mm f1.8 - Much like the Voigtlanders, epic build, compact and lovely Bokeh although not the sharpest wide open (more than acceptable) , has a nice glow for portraits. I then sold it due to the plan of getting the elusive FA*85mm......

FA 43mm f1.9 Limited - Lovely and compact, go anywhere especially on Film (MZ-S). Just perfect walk around unique focal length.

As most of those, their build is high, always nice to have something well made to use, makes you more confident in using it a lot and just being a joy to use.
I find special lenses to me, tend to be more than acceptably sharp wide open, good to brilliant build (mix of Solid and Compact) and offer me somthing a compromised zoom would not. Thats just me.

I have some

You should return that dodgy K85 to the unscrupulous character that sold it you and demand a 50% refund


Haha, its gone now (I plan to pick up an FA*85 to replace it).
