Thank you ' Defragged ' for the info & link.

Sorted out a price with them today at my budget !

Looking for a good condition & ideally boxed etc.

Thank you

Pretty sure 1 & 4 is 50 mm 2 & 3 is 135 mm & last is 200 mm but I shot a lot & was switching between 135/200 more .

Cheers,

Patrick

Testing out a trio of manual lens M 50, K135 & M 200 mm bought recently in pretty demanding conditions yesterday . Pretty happy with the outcomes














Thanks for looking & comments welcome

Patrick

Thanks . Hope this helps :

In fact it is my first time. So the big thing is the lens was described 'as mint ' it seems on my examination to match that rating pretty well came with filter, new hood and caps . Secondly, the prices seem higher thanUK on my research but even Japan sellers vary too . Thirdly, factor in a 'ebay dollar ' rate at is 1.25 not 1.31on trade if listed in US dollars . Finally, UK for whatever reason levies VAT @ 20% on item & post charges ( why on used items gets me ) plus an admin duty small fee .. so on my deal an £ 35 extra before its released by the Japan/UK postal services.

Overall, happy so no complaints but next time I might start by giving seller an offer of 20% less but who knows if they sell them at that discount.

Whole process from offer to buy to safe receipt took 10 days but that include bank holidays

Cheers,

Patrick

My third legacy lens arrived today from Japan and wanted to test it even though weather wise over cast & poor lighting. Anyway, here are a few - found it tougher to get spot on focus as its still a learning curve

Comments and suggestions please as to how to optimise & explore this lens are very welcome.

Thanks

Waiting for an early K version of the P 135 mm f 2.5 from Japan this week

Looking good too bought a f 2.5 135 mm K from Japan to compliment the range then find a 20mm in time.

Glad you made the right decision [/quote]Thank you again for the helpful 'steer' towards this M series 200 mm . Feels so light & just a delight although a narrow field of view but will adjust soon enough

So this month ventured into the legacy lens zone . Just added a 50 mm & this 200 mm whilst a 135 mm f 2.5 on its way from Japan next - had my first Japanese eBay experience & extra VAT fees added in the UK Why is VAT applied to used items ?
