I have received the lens and WOW! I think that was the BEST packaging I've ever received! Fantastic! I've tried it out and I'm already loving the lens.

Many thanks for a wonderful transaction!

Hello all. I am looking for the following lenses, depending on the best offer, am looking to purchase only one of them:

Pentax DA 70mm 2.4 Limited
Or
Samyang 85mm 1.4 (with A for auto-exposure)
Or
Sigma 70mm 2.8 Macro EX DG
Or
Pentax 100mm 2.8 Macro WR

I am also looking for an original Pentax battery grip for the K5, the D-BG4.

Thanks in advance!

PM sent!

Shucks! And here I was leaning towards the DA 70 2.4!

Also, SRS are out of Samyangs?! OMG

If this is still here by end of the month, you just might have a buyer! Unless the Samyang 1.4 tempts me back!

Great shots man! The 35 2.4 is my favourite at the moment.

I wish you the best in this particular hard time in your life. As mentioned earlier, I too can only try to imagine what it feels like. You are very brave to post this here. Many people tend to close down and shun everyone else.

What you've done, sharing your story, and the responses people have given you in return, has at least given you an insight to what a wonderful community we have here... and that little bit of positive energy we are all wishing you with, I hope this will be what will keep you going for your wife.

Here's to more positive news and events from here on out.

CEX in my experience ALWAYS resort to dodgy tactics like this example you mentioned.

Regarding the topic, I guess it all comes down to what will give you the piece of mind to continue on. No one should go through what you are experiencing right now. I hope it gets resolved.

Without knowing it was a 100 year old lens: Meh

Knowing the photos were taken using a 100 year old lens: Awesomeness!

Would love to see a photo of the setup!
