I dont want to go over old ground again but its with much reluctance that I have to sell my much loved DA* 50 135mm because of recent financial problems.
I bought this lens off Jules and its in essentially the same nick. Everything is as new the only thing missing is the filter cover.
I'll post some of the shots taken with it at a later stage. Its a really sharp copy and anyone that has seen my street portraits will know how good it is.
I need £425 for it via paypal
Please PM if interested

Number 3 isnt strong enough to captivate
Number 2 is the strongest image here and a good one at that

I think these are good Alistair, but the expired film hasn't done you any favours this time around as they have a magenta colour cast. I suppose it's a bit of a lottery as to whether you get an old film that retains its colours, or one that's gone off?

If Im being honest I sometimes favour the OOD stuff
Thanks everyone for the comments
I'm not seeing a colour cast here with 1 and 2 being fine. The subject of #3 looks a tad overexposed (looks like fill in flash was used) with the whites and the skin tone merging. Photoshop or rescanning may well sort it out.
I'm a great advocate of cheap OOD film! If only I could still use and get processed several rolls of Kodachrome.
In some ways the colour being a bit "off" adds to the charm and mystique of film. I expect there's an "app" which would offer the same effect on a smart 'phone. You could always correct the scans in Photoshop if you wanted to.

sorry just seeing this now
yes the lens works perfectly with no SDM issues. It was my K5 that was playing up.
If you wish to see photos or need to know more ask away
