Which did you buy for under £1oo; the FA or the A?

Apparantly in excellent condition.
How does it sound for value? To sit on an Isds.
Many thanks Tom

As a bit of a novice on this stuff could I ask please as to what would be the most compatible standard lens. I would be entirely happy with manual focus. I would like to have a fast standard lens; there seems to be a good few on Ebay but not too sure which would be the most suitable and easiest to use.
Thanks again.

Thanks so much for helping me on this. In the morning, in the clear light of day when I'm not in need of a stroke or cuddle I'll unpack it again and have another look.

Tom,
The front element is higher than the printed text. The actual construction is like this:
Printed area; small groove; metal ring; glass element that sits flush with the metal ring.
Hope that makes sense! Could do you a shot of mine if it'd help...
Matt
Daniel has very kindly posted a shot of his which does look like mine.
Matt have you a kit lens or other to compare finishes?

I got out my 18-55 to compare. And indeed on the 18-55 the glass is totally housed at the front with no exposed edge. Hope this is making sense.
I reboxed it, rang the supplier and asked them to look at another 50-200 while I was on the phone and they described it to be similar in finish to the smaller kit lens.
I'm thinking I got one with a factory fault. It's going back tomorrow for inspection. I'm hoping they will pay the post if I'm found to be correct.
Am I the unlucky one?
Tom

Certainly, and not only because it's the festive season!
eBay. There have been a few sellers offering these lenses, new or as-new, and when mine arrived there was no doubt that it was indeed new.
However, Sue has the SMC Pentax-DA 50-200mm lens and if you can afford the extra then that is without doubt the better lens.
