The 35-70 is a good lens, not much bigger than a standard 50mm, and has a distinctive signature.

This is another one that gets less use than it should, as I tend to use the 10-17 or 16-45.

The lens is in good condition, with smooth focus and clean, snappy aperture. Lens elements are scratch and fungus free, but there are dust specks and a tiny piece of lint, but nothing that should affect photos much if at all. It has front and rear caps.

£90 + postage.

Photos to follow. PM if you have any interest.

For sale is lovely example of this lens in PK mount that does not get much use. This is a rare, fast tele lens that is even more effective with the APS-C crop factor. The lens glass is clean and clear, with clean snappy aperture and smooth focusing. It has a built in lens hood and all packaging, including instruction manual and warranty card.

£85 plus postage. PM with any questions.

Thanks everyone for your input. Looks like the thread has finished now and I've had some great feedback on lenses. No need to post my current lens example as they don't match what's been on show here in the slightest.

Will hunt for a tamron 70-300 and a pentax 70-150.

Happy snapping!!

Let me know if a Pentax 100-300mm AF zoom would appeal

For those interested in getting a D-FA100 there's a listing on eBay currently for some new/boxed/ex-demo examples for just £299.95 each (free p&p).

I'm not affiliated with the seller and I already have one but for anybody looking for one I can't imagine getting one cheaper!
I bought mine last week for the same price from a different seller. I think it's an excellent lens and very quick focusing in the normal range. One went this week for £266 on ebay and Ffordes had an FA version for £299.

It should be ok to good if it is simialr to the Vivitar/Cosina lenses - this lens seems to get a fair price on the auction sites.

I don't, but there is one for sale above.

David - the 75-150 is probably the best Pentax zoom this side of the SMC-A 70-210/4 and 35-105/3.5. They usually go for low prices because of the odd zoom range on digital.
