It is boxed, complete with hood and caps.
The plm motor certainly improves the speed of autofocus on these lenses, and coupled with the excellent performance makes it a bargain at this price.

I will post images in due course.

Unfortunately this is surplus to my requirements and he is happy for me to sell it.
I shot about 20 or so images with it when I was in the US, and it is an excellent copy.
So, virtually new and unused, unmarked, boxed with all caps etc.etc.
I haven't taken any photographs of the lens as I assume you know what a new HD 20-40mm looks like! (But will do so if required).
I've priced it to show a substantial saving on what is, in effect, a new lens.

Phographing a smallish white bird on a blue sky going from left to right could almost be done with a decent camera phone, certainly a decent compact ... that is not taxing on any camera produced in the last 15 years or so.
If it's correct that AF works much better with PLM lenses then Pentax need to bring out a new version of the 150-450mm asap.

I will be shortly selling my new K3iii - I have given up on the autofocus front. The number of sharp images shooting birds in flight is ludicrously low. I listened to the hype surrounding the autofocus improvements on the K3iii, what a mistake, it's back to Sony for my bird photography.
I will retain my K5iis and K3 for general photography as my first love is Pentax.
I am so disappointed.

Reading other comments I also get the impression that optimum AF performance, as well as video, are linked to use of PLM lenses
In Texas a couple of weeks ago I shot a sequence of Pelicans in flight that were in focus. It means nothing as that is the only occasion I have been able to say that.
The K3iii is a super camera to use, it’s handling, viewfinder etc.etc. are great, but for autofocus on subjects moving quickly - sorry to say, forget it!
