This is a really nice lens that does not get enough use so is up for sale. I tend to use a 35/2 on digital. The lens is in very good condition. No scratches or fungus, one or two dust specks and slight paint wear on the filter thread where a filter has been mounted. The aperture is clean and snappy. Front and rear lens caps are included. £55 plus postage.

Womble, a lucky escape.

Let me know if a K series 50/1.4 appeals.

I got my K series 50/1.2 for £30

Emiliaarts is a reseller, buying cheap and selling for more. It is a one man band. He does find some nice stuff though.

It is fairly rare, but even so, it is a huge price.

If I owned one, it would be on ebay now:

Mifsuds had one a week or so ago. £299

I have the older, non AF 28/1.8 - goof glass and usually for a good price if you can find one.

Wow!

Doesn't it work with a wireles remote?

There are limits to the ability of shake reduction, lens and body based, of around 3 stops. Having shake reduction sometimes induces a false sense of security where technique is not as rigorous as it should be and you attempt shots you would not normally try.

Also to be considered: shake reduction reduces blur introduced by the user, to compensate for a slow shutter speed. it cannot compensate for subject movement and slow shutter speeds.
