Just back from a 1-month trip abroad, the lens is still for sale!

PM sent.

Hi,

I have one for sale, I'm sending you a PM.
The price of those (Kenko) has gone ballistic only recently, I don't know why, seems like people have just realised that it was also SDM/HSM compatible, like the Tamron.

Sold on Pentaxforums.com

There are plenty of second-hand K20Ds around for sale here in France, you can now get them for less than £200 if you play it well.... but obviously buying a body from afar is a little trickier than a lens.

I may still have the 17-50/2.8 in January, hopefully the € will continue to slide and my price will get even more attractive.

Within the last month I got myself a DA15 and a DA21, to add the my Sigma 30/1.4 and the 43 Ltd.
As I only shoot when I go on holidays, usually pretty far away, I can't take both the zoom AND the primes, and I feel the zoom would preclude me from using the primes.

Hello,

For sale is a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 zoom in almost perfect condition, boxed and complete with all original accessories.

Both front and rear elements are scratchless, no fungus of course, one or two microscopic dust particles inside.
The zoom doesn't creep, blades are immaculate, mechanically it is flawless.
The barrel doesn't bear any marks.

It comes with a one-year European warranty valid until October 2012.

Price: 242€/~£206 should cover signed-for delivery with insurance to pretty much anywhere in Europe, Paypal fees not included.

Bump, and price reduction to 440€ (~£370-£380)

Sorry Vjacessalv, I think it'd be a lot harder to sell the 43mm without it's lens cap, so I'm not willing to separate them.
I see they're available from Microglobe though, for £20:

I'm a very sad git , so I had to buy the black version of this lens to match my black FA77 and K-5, therefore I'm letting go of this one.
It is the (relatively) sought-after Made in Japan version, in mint condition. All I can detect are one tiny scuff mark on the hood, and one on the cap.
Comes boxed with both original caps and original hood.

Price: £400 shipped to (pretty much) anywhere in Europe, plus Paypal fees if applicable.
