In great condition, no marks on the glass or body. Pictures on request

Also have a 28mm Miranda 2.8 lense which is really quite good. Due to the length and close up ability I have probably found more use for this than the 50mm.

I too have been considering getting a different standard lens, thinking about the Sigma 17-70 but then I the 18-55 DA_L surprises me. The only reason for the Sigma would be the range and the closer focusing opportunities, but at the sake of having slightly larger lens and different filter/cap sizes than the rest of my kit. Yet to see anyone say much bad about the sigma on here.
I would certainly recommend trying out some of the older manuals. Having the 50mm 1.7 I really see the sharpness compare to the kit, but somehow something is not quite a warm as the kit and the problems with flare. This is not the case with my Corsina 21mm which is incredible for £30!
Would love to try out the DA40 to see how this compares to the old 50mm.

Would have reconsidered my purchase if I'd seen this.

Bought from a forum member not too long back.
Comes with a UV filter and is very clean with smooth focus ring. Not really using that much as I tend to use the kit lenses still and a close focusing 24mm. Hoping this will put the some funds towards a 70/90mm macro

Even the ones with the '99p' lens are great. Makes me wonder whether I should try something with my 50 & 24mm lens before going down the 'proper' macro route.
Like your website btw, great to see some local shots on a Pentax!
