My favourite to use is the K85/1.8; beautifully engineered and I don't know why, but it always seems to give pleasing results.

The FA50/1.4 was almost too perfect so I sold it in favour of a Tomioka 55/1.4
That's interesting - I never really got into using my FA50/1.4 either. Although it's an excellent lens, I found that for shots where I was using it wide open I had to focus manually, and when I needed AF, my Tamron 17-50 did a pretty good job.

I would include a PK adapter at the asking price.

It also works with an Adaptall-2 PK/A mount - I've got a spare one here if it's of any interest (I'd be open to offers in the ballpark of £100 for the lens and PK/A mount).

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 Tamron adaptall 105mm f/2.5. It's a nice short tele, very sharp with nice bokeh. I've been very happy with it, but have multiple other lenses at the focal length, so don't really use this one much.

It's in excellent condition, with only one or two specks of internal dust and minimal signs of use. The optics are in good shape, with no scratches, marks or fungus (the dust mentioned previously is normal for a lens of the age and nothing that would affect the pictures). Cosmetically it's in excellent condition, as shown in the picture.

It is supplied with the original box, hard case (which has a few marks), front and rear caps. Although I don't normally use them, I'd be happy to include a UV filter as well if you'd like one.

Looking at the going rate on eBay, 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 preferably by bank transfer (or PayPal with the buyer covering the fees) please.

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 A70-210/4. It's in excellent condition, I hesitate to describe things as mint, but it's pretty clsoe, with only one or two specks of internal dust and minimal signs of use. The optics are in good shape, with no scratches, marks or fungus (the dust mentioned previously is normal for a lens of the age and nothing that would affect the pictures). Cosmetically it's in excellent condition, as shown in the picture.

Looking at the going rate on eBay, I think that £55 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 if possible (or PayPal with the buyer covering the fees) please.

Personally I've always preferred the Tomioka 55mm f1.4

I've got one of these (well, two actually) and also rate it highly. The Bokeh is very different to the Pentax equivalents and it is also nice to use and pretty well built.
