I have the following lenses for sale.

All include their original caps and prices include insured UK delivery.

Pentax-A 24mm f2.8 Looks so minty it might have just come straight from the factory.

There is however a very small and difficult to see mark (1-2mm) on the front element. Certainly nothing to affect image quality. £150

Jupiter-9 85mm f2 Legendary portrait lens with 15 bladed aperture.

The Jupiter-9 must be one of the biggest lens bargains out there. M42 mount, made in 1985.

Condition is mint- and some of the lettering has gone slightly yellow. The focusing is slightly stiff, but smooth. This is an excellent copy optically. £55

Pentax-A 28mm f2.8 Exc+++. This is a rather good sample optically and is pretty sharp wide-open.

Makes a very nice standard lens on APS-C. £60

I used to have the A20/2.8, which is the same optically as the FA20/2.8 (just MF rather than AF).

Whilst fine on film, the A20 is very soft in the corners on digital (even the APS-C corner).
The DA21 is sharp corner to corner, as well as being a lot smaller

HTH,
R

All the ones I've tried have been brilliant optically.
The old screw-drive AF is also quicker than the new SDM.

The FA*24 is the exception to the above (I've had two, so not sample variation). While it was great on film, I've found it a poor performer on digital - loads of CA and not very sharp. The older A 24/2.8 is much sharper on digital.

HTH,
R

Not only are they not weathersealed, but their silver finish rubs off as soon as you take them anywhere there might be "weather"
