Continuing my clear out of '50 something' lenses, I have for sale a K series 55mm F2.0. As many will know this is optically the same lens as the highly regarded F1.8. My understanding is that Pentax needed a lens to bundle with the K1000 and basically stopped down the 1.8 and sold it as an F2.0. Possibly slightly softer at the edges than the 50mm F1.7, I found it works very well for portraits in conjunction with a K5.

This lens is optically good, with just the usual dust commensurate with a lens of this vintage. Mechanically focusing is very smooth and aperture movement is fast.

Cosmetically the lens shows paint loss around the handling points and the filter ring. The worst of which is shown on the second picture. There is no actual damage to the filter ring.
Supplied with generic caps and a UV filter.

I have for sale a fully functioning Data Back Fg in reasonable used condition. There some markings to the plastic, but nothing that affects it functionality. It fits fine on a MZ5n, MZ6 and MZ10 and I believe that this fits most other cameras in the MZ series.

I have two of these, so one has to go. This is fully functioning and in good used condition.

I guess most people couple these with a something like a DA300, I don't have that lens, but in good light it will focus a DA55-300. Personally I have found more use on film, coupling it with a manual focus 50mm and also and perhaps more unusually in combination with a 100mm macro.

I have for sale, a boxed copy of this lens in good used condition. The glass is clear and free from scratches and fungus. There is some dust, commensurate with a lens of this vintage.
The blades are moving freely and the aperture dial movement is positive and clicky. Focusing is accurate and quite fast on a K5.

The lens is supplied in its original box, together with front and back caps and a Hoya Skylight filter.
