Hi Mike thanks for letting me know, glad you're pleased with it. I have another one (not the A version) but I will probably keep that as it will be ok for my MX. So I can still use my MX with either the 50mm or 500mm, perhaps I should try and fine a 5mm to go with it ? I think Pentax did an 8mm once.

SOLD thanks for looking.

Here is my much loved SMC Pentax FA100mm F2.8 Macro lens. True 1:1 macro, lovely focusing, great bokeh, focus limiter. Metal bodied and large focus ring. Focus clamp and auto/manual/focus limiter switch.

Lens is in beautiful condition, hardly looks used. I only ever took it outside once, the rest of the time I used it to take photos of small soldiers maybe twice a year.

Condition I'd say mint-, basically extremely light use no more that 10-20 times.

If you want it it's yours for £250 delivered. Original pouch included and box ( though I've lost the polystyrene padding ). They go for much more on Ebay and you'd have to pay postage too. I dought there are many as good as this one.

If nobody wants it then I'll ebay it on Sunday, cheers.

SOLD thanks.

For sale one used SMC Pentax 135mm F2.8 auto focus IF lens. Close focusing, sharp, internal focusing so lightning auto focus ( yes even on the DS fastest focusing lens I have ).

Perfectly sound mechanically, no issues, cosmetically used a lot but no dings or bashes just honest use, optically at least above average probably good , maybe very good but no better. I've used this lens a lot so not a collectors item but no scratches on the optics, a bit more dust than usual but nothing significant.

Study photos for more detail.
Asking price is £150 delivered, ebay at the weekend if no takers.

It was £15 buy it now but of course it's disappeared. You guys get free postage so if you win the item just ask me for an invoice before paying, mention the forum and I'll send you an invoice minus the postage.

If it's ok I'll post 2 new classifieds with one lens in each thread with some photos I've taken of them. If anyone wants to start a thread in the general discussion I'd gladly join in. It might be wise to choose a non inflammatory title

Will probably post FA135 and AF360 flash too when I get a moment.

Hi John, apart from the focusing issues I also wanted a good new standard lens and a better body with a bigger sensor.

I don't think it would ever be possible to "fix" the DS as it can't be setup differentley for different lenses.

I don't like the current line up of Pentax bodies and standard lenses so started with a blank sheet of paper.

I wouldn't have been able to take macro shots with any new Pentax body and that's about 50% of the stuff I do.

The D50 was just an experiment that went well.
