I've sent you pm regarding FA43...

as title says, I'm looking for this lens in a good condition. If you have one fro sale, please make me an reasonable offer...Cheers.

Well I'm not so sure about that, I had all three LTDs and 43 stands out in that respect. Possibly the best limited, but on dSLR i find FA 31 bit more useful focal lenght.

metal square hood to fit 58mm thread lens (K20/4)
suitable hoods: hood for Takumar 20/4.5, Takumar 24/3.5, SMC 18/3.5,
SMC 20/4, SMC 24/2.8
if anybody has one spare, i'll be happy to buy. Cheers...

Hi Digby22....i have also one for sale....what price do you have in mind for it? There's couple of photos in classified section...
regards, Martin

and good light for your photos.

I have a very good experience with Tamron SP 2x Teleconverter, but I mainly used it with K135/2.5. The images were reasonably sharp. However if you attach M*300/4 to it focusing will become a quite a trouble.

Hello all,

I'm sure everybody knows this lens, its light & compact medium telephoto Limited lens, with a slide out hood, superb metal build and top optical quality. It is in very good condition, although shows marks of use...on the lens barrel, bit dust inside and tiny spec on rear element,which doesn't influence the image quality. (Please see the photos)
It is a silver edition, made in Japan.
The lens is sold in the original package: Lens, box, lens pouch, original rear and front cap + high quality B+W 49mm UV filter.
I will accept £600 GBP or similar reasonable price.
I prefer Paypal, if you're allright to pay the paypal fees.
Any queries, please let me know. Link with the photos below:
