Pretty good cosmetic condition. AF works fine, optics fine. I have found the images from this surprisingly nice, I have never been a big telephoto shooter so this cheap lens did me fine when the need arose. In fact I sold the DA50-135mm because this one was adequate for my purposes.

This is a full frame lens.

There's a review of the DG version here; mine is the non-DG version but optically the same.

Asking £50 plus a fiver P&P. You're getting a lot for your money.

Both now sold on Ebay

It's a bit of a moot point, as Pentax seemed to be fully stretched with their current roadmap, but what would you like to see?

Looking at what other brands and third party manufacturers seem to offer, I think there is a gap in the market for small, high quality primes. You can get a 20mm prime from Sigma, Samyang or Nikon, but the new ones seem to all be f1.8 or faster, and pretty hefty chunks of glass. I suppose the speed offers a reason to buy them over a zoom lens covering the same FL, but wouldn't small size be another good reason, and in keeping with the Pentax ethos?

So to complement the existing FA ltds I'd like to see a 17mm f4 and a 24mm f2.8/f3.5. Or maybe to distance themselves from the standard zoom, 15mm and 20mm. Beautifully made and bitingly sharp from wide open - an equivalent to the lovely DA ltds. You could buy one to complement your zoom lens because you can just pop it in your pocket.

DA35mm still for sale, a great performer on APSC or full frame. In fact it comes alive on the K1, judging by the picture thread below. I certainly liked the results on film.

50mm sold elsewhere. 35 still up for sale

Must get down to this exhibition, I bet his work has a monumental effect in large prints.

A MF zoom with nice optical quality and a constant f4 aperture. Beautifully built and sturdy, but compact.

No. 1 is an intriguing shot.

I can chuck in a 40mm Ltd lens hood. It neatly fits the 85mm and controls flare and also reduces the tiny bit of purple fringing you sometimes see wide open.
