Hi Kris,
yes I know, but just couple of days ago one of them was sold on ebay for £141.98 which is decent price. I don't think anybody will suggest me such price here, though.
I even found one stuck on the old ME camera once, but buyers recognized the lens and the price went sky high - I guess the seller was pleasantly surprissed

agreed...tempting price. however i noticed the irregular shape of iris, is that typicall for DA35 macro?

beautiful scenery, rough...it reminds me torridon area which I visited 3 years ago....unfortunately the weather then was rubbish so I didn't take any photos

I like the last one most

So I regretted selling this lens year or so ago....I would be pleased to find another one. I know it is quite rare, but I hope for a decent price. Alternatively I may consider also K 28/3.5, but 30/2.8 is priority due to its universality.

Please note that I'm not more living in UK, so include the shipping cost to Slovakia.

TA

Thanks all for your replies...I think I will give a K28/3.5 a go, unless I find reasonably priced K30. I used to have one of these 30mm lenses for a brief time and it is excellent performer, although not that good as FA31 at 2.8. Both lenses seem to be quite rare

Bjørn, thanks a lot for that link....nice and useful reading on various older lenses.

Hi all,
I would like to fill in the gap between 20/4 and 43/1.9 primes....with a high quality manual prime (would love to get fa31 but I couldn't justify the price). So I am thorn between those two. I wouldn't think of 35mm as it is too close to 43.
Basically I need high resolving prime for landscapes, K30 has advantage of 2.8 so it could be nice walkaround too. However I've read on some forum, that K30 is not as sharp in the corners as k28/3.5....could anyone confirm this please?

Hi, regarding Katzeye....is it a split prism one?

must be something that is either a gas guzzler or never heard of metric system
seriously i haven't seen anything like that on ebay, except canon cameras which are nicknamed Rebel(US version) or EOS(Europe)

I've tried its FA incarnation - FA20/2.8 (which is by some considered finest 20mm lens) and it was very nice...quite sharp for that focal lenght, it handles flare well and produce lively colours. I suppose A 20/2.8 will be almost the same.
Hell,I shoot archaic K20/4 and I'm pleased with its results on K-5...you'll have no trouble with A version

so the credits go to the spammer then
nice pic in the first post anyway
