In a move I suspect that I'll live to regret, I've decided to part with my K30/2.8. It's an excellent lens, justifiably known as the poor-man's FA31. I'm branching out my collection into German glass and have other Pentax lenses in the 30mm range so it's time to move this one on to a new home.
I've had it for nearly 3 years and used it regularly (but carefully) in that time. The reviews on the other forum are superlative.
This copy is in excellent condition, as shown in the pictures. I hesitate to describe things as mint but this is as near as anything in my collection. It comes with the original caps and hard case.
I think that £200 delivered within the UK is reasonable and I'd be happy to investigate postage options to send it further afield if required. Payment preferably by bank transfer or alternatively PayPal (with the buyer covering the fees) please.
I'd also be interested in a possible part exchange with a Zeiss 85/1.4 or 50/2 (either ZK or Leitax-moddable C/Y mount).

Another vote for the Tamron 28-75 or Sigma 24-70.
I have had both and would be very happy with either; the Tamron is significantly smaller and lighter but at the wide end, the Sigma is appreciably wider at 24mm. Both offer excellent image quality and double as nice portrait lenses.

Payment received, thanks - I'll post the tubes tomorrow.

I'm having a clear out of some of my lenses to make space and raise funds for my next round of LBA.
For sale is my SMC Pentax-DA 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED lens. This is the DA version which has a metal mount and quick-shift focussing (as opposed to the DA-L version, which has a plastic mount and no quick-shift)
It's in very good condition, as shown in the pictures; the optics and mechanical functions are in excellent shape and there are cosmetic signs of light, careful use only.
It is supplied with the original box, front/rear caps and hood.
I think that £60 delivered within the UK is reasonable and I'd be happy to investigate postage options to send it further afield if required. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal (with the buyer covering the fees) please.

I'm thinning out my collection of manual focus equipment and have a set of genuine Pentax extension tubes for sale.
They're in excellent condition, as shown in the picture and are supplied with the original hard case. I've only ever used them to mount a Vivitar Series 1 800mm solid cat to my K-5 (as, disappointingly, it doesn't clear the viewfinder without an extension tube)
Looking at the going rate on eBay, I think that £25 delivered within the UK is reasonable and I'd be happy to investigate postage options to send it further afield if required. Payment preferably by bank transfer or alternatively PayPal (with the buyer covering the fees) please.

Comment by sorted78 posted on FS: Kiron 105mm f/2.8 1:1 macro lens (PK mount) at 21/08/2013 - 05:58
I'm having a clear out of some of my lenses to make space and raise funds for my next round of LBA.
For sale is my Kiron 105mm f/2.8 macro lens. This is the same lens that was sold under the Vivitar Series 1 and Lester Dine brands and is widely regarded as one of the better macro lenses ever made. I've had it for nearly 3 years but now have a D-FA100 WR and can't really justify keeping both.
It's in very good condition, as shown in the pictures; the optics and mechanical functions are in excellent shape and there are cosmetic signs of light, careful use only. As can be seen in the pictures, parts of the screen printed lettering has been rubbed off in a couple of places, which is a common problem with these Kiron-branded lenses.
It is supplied with the original front/rear caps.
