I have a FA 20-35mm that my dear son decided to drop. Comes with caps and hood, in excellent condition, no external damage apart from a small part of the filter ring missing.

Problem is it doesn't zoom fully and aperture is stuck.

Message me with an offer if you are interested.

Fantastic set, any of them would make a superb massive print on the wall. (Thinking back to the posters I would buy as a kid many many years ago)

I wasn't aware of this quite important difference (Forced NR) between the two models...so has been useful to follow this thread.

With the reported release of a MKIII version sometime in the next few months hopefully it is not too late for this feature to be made actionable ...ON/OFF by the user as per MkI if Ricoh had already chosen the route of the MKII for this.
I'm pretty sure it is on the K3 MKIII as well.

3 or 4 Mk1's?????

What did you do...... eat them?!??!!
Like a few others on here I used to do a bit of buying and selling to fund my equipment. i would buy a camera or lens for a decent price and then sell it for more than I paid when I saw another that was in better condition (and was also a decent price).

I had 3 or 4 MK1's, I had one MKII.

Wasn't a fan of the noise reduction being forced on me as I always thought I could do it better in post.

Excellent again but still prefer Alpha.

Still prefer Alpha but on to 3.

(Still pretty amazing though)

Last time I bought something I emailed them after purchase and they refunded the postage price.

Saying that it was some time ago now as I sold all my Pentax gear about 12 months ago.
