Hi Maggi, I am at work today until 8pm but will put some up tomorrow afternoon for you.

Mike.

I have to say though that one of the best features of this lens is it's close focus ability. It get's shots I just couldn't do with the Pentax 150-450mm.

The one that sold on here recently at £470 that was an absolute steal, bit annoying because when people don't do any research before selling their lenses it devalues them for other sellers (plus they lose a fair bit as well).

The lens you are linking to is the old version with no HSM and no OS .. it also has the coating on the body that peels off. Wait for a newer f/4.5-6.3 lens, it's optically much better.

That 50mm is a F lens, not an FA.

Since I sold my K-3II I really have no use for these 2 lenses now so I am putting them up for sale. No doubt I will regret it when Ricoh bring out a new APS-C camera later this year (maybe) but at the moment they are sitting doing nothing.

Both lenses are in superb condition and come with their cases. hood, tripod collar, caps and I think I have the boxes somewhere (will have to check). They are both full frame lenses and the 100-300mm f/4 is the MKII version which autofocuses a lot better with later Pentax bodies than the MKI apparently (never had a problem with mine on the K-3, K-3II or K-1 anyway)

I am asking

£750 incl UK postage for the 100-300mm f/4
£700 Incl UK postage for the 50-500mm OS

Can do pictures of lenses if required.

I still can't fathom why they can't just re-engineer the 60-250f4 - re-organise the internals (ie remove the baffle) and refresh the AF drive.
I suspect because most people would want internal focus/zoom on a 70-200mm, I know that was my only complaint with the 60-250mm.

Personally I'm not buying any new lenses until Ricoh do something about the AF tracking.
