Down to £130 + shipping

I wish to sell a Tamron SP AF Aspherical DI LD (IF) 17-35mm f/2.8-4 (PK-mount).
The lens is in excellent mechanical condition and the glass is clean — no oil on blades, no fungus on glass — but there's a grain of dust by the rim of the front element (see photo).

The lens was bought used recently to partner the Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 but I haven't really given it much use.
I don't have the original box but the lens will be shipped in adequately sturdy packaging.

What's included:
• Tamron AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4 lens
• original hood
• original front cap
• pentax plastic rear cap

Price:
£155 including registered mail shipping (w/ online tracking) to E.U. countries

P.S: the FA31 has a FOV of 70º while the FA35's is a little narrower at 63°.

I meant 35mm in FF.
The closest in the DA line is the 21mm LTD which I own but I find it a bit too wide for my taste.
It wouldn't hurt if it were f2.4 either, as it would allow for a brighter viewfinder image.

That's quite a good set of rules.
I agree with all but one:

48. Shooting in bad light without a flash.


That's a no-no in my book.

I just wish Pentax had a 23 or 24mm DA lens (35mm FOV equiv. in FF)…and that I would abide by rules nos. 9 and 13.

I wish to sell a Contax 55mm Circular Polarizer that I bought new in the late '90s.
The filter mustn't have been used more than a couple of times; it's in excellent mechanical condition and the glass is clean.
I am including the original plastic box which unfortunately is very scratched from bouncing around with other stuff in my bag, but perfectly usable nonetheless.

Thanks.

P.S.: currently using 2 Tamron zooms, (mostly) a 28-75mm f2.8 and a 17-35mm f2.8-4.

Hello,

My first post here.
I have acquired a Pentax K-r kit about a year ago, my second digital camera (having previously owned a K10d+21mm+43mm for a few months when it came out), and I chose it mostly for it's affordability and comfortable grip.

I was "shooting" slide film with Contax cameras and lenses during the 90s and early 00s but when my first child was born I stopped travelling and therefore photographing.
When digital performance stabilised I decided to give it a go but by then Kyocera had given up on the camera business and I had to buy into a new system.
I chose Pentax for the ergonomics and small size, the viewfinder specifications and wide range of current production and discontinued fixed focal length lenses.

I have been using this camera mostly for a semi-professional model photography part-time job and although image quality is perfectly adequate for my needs I do miss a front control dial, a vertical grip and the exposure mode dial lock of the K-5.

Cheers,
Ricardo
