Hi Hyram, I am the vendor of the lens and have absolutely no problem selling to genuine bidders with no past feedback but there are so many scammers on eBay or dreamers who bid on an auction and are never heard from again that it is always prudent to ask for contact first, especially with higher value items. A bidder with little feedback who is prepared to contact you and express his genuine intentions is more than likely going to honour his / her bid.

Fantastic Chris, many thanks. The 35/2.8 is an M as you rightly say.


I'll be putting them on tonight and keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi Ken, some of the lenses seem so rare that I can't find them on eBay but the list is as follows:

Pentax A* 200mm f/4 macro
Pentax A 200mm f/4
Pentax 28mm f/3.5 shift
Pentax A 24mm f/2.8
Pentax M 135mm f/3.5
Pentax 80-200mm f/4.5
Pentax A 100mm f/2.8
Pentax 35mm f/2.8
Pentax M 120mm f/2.8
Pentax-F 50mm f/1.7
Pentax M 50mm f/1.7

I also have a K2DMD body which has a little brassing but is otherwise good

Thanks for the advise Algi, the only problem is that as a non-expert I am not 100% sure of the value of each lens which is why an auction format may be better for me. Another forum member has kindly agreed to value the items for me though so I can see where I go on that.

Hi all,
I am new to the forum and am seeking a little advise.
I have acquired a large quantitiy of K mount Pentax lenses from a deceased estate and will be auctioning them over the next week or so. The original owner was a collector rather than a user and as such they are all 100% immaculate, i'd wager that many have never been on a camera.
Among them are some of the rarest and most sought after SMC Pentax lenses, research through this forum has confirmed that. One has a rarity rating of once in several years on Bojidars Pentax K page.
Is there anywhere on this forum it would be acceptable to give a heads up on all of the lenses that I have for any member who may be interested in bidding for them? I don't want to tread on any toes or break any forum rules.
Many thanks
Jim
