Have moved to the K-5 generation of cameras and am in the midst of a re-evaluation of what lenses I "need" to hold on to. See below for details. Not listed either because I have not totally decided whether to sell or keep are an Olympus E-PL2 with its associated EVF and 14-42mm lens (plus various lens adaptors), my PK-A 50/2.8 Macro, and my PK-A "Rolex" 50/1.2. If you have a specific interest in any of these or in the items listed below, please contact me off list.
stan For Sale - 7Dec 2012 Overview: K20D + spare battery $250 K20D + Handgrip D-BG2 + 3 spare batteries $300 Kirk camera plate PZ-117 (ArcaSwiss-standard tripod attachment plate for D-BG2) $25 SMCP -DA 14mm f2.8 ED (IF) $500 SMCP-FA 43mm f1.9 Limited $450 PK-A 400mm f5.6 $500 Tamron-SP 500mm f8 Tele Macro Catadioptric (Adaptall-2 mount for PK) $75 M42 mount - Carl Zeiss Jena DDR “electric MC Flektogon” 35mm f2.4 $40 M42 mount Helios-44-2 58mm f2.0 $15 General Details: All items used but in good condition, probably ranging from Ex to Ex+ or LN in the KEH lexicon. The first six I bought new, the other three I bought used in good condition. Insured shipping costs (to U.S. addressees) included for items over $400 or if your total purchase is over $400. For addressees outside of the U.S., insured shipping costs will be extra, but minus a $15 discount. The prices are my best guess at the current market value, minus a PDML discount. If you think a price is out of line, let me know and explain why. Payment ($US only) could be in cash or via check, money order, bank transfer, or PayPal. Specifics: The K20D to be sold body-only has logged 17,685 shutter activations in the four years I have had it. No known issues. As mentioned above, comes with the original battery plus one spare. Original box, manuals, software etc. are all included. The 2nd K20D, sold with the D-BG2 battery grip, has logged 14,599 shutter activations in the four years I have had it. No known issues. As mentioned above, the body comes with the original battery plus one spare, and the grip comes with another two spares. Original boxes, manuals, software etc. are all included except that I can’t find the D-BG2 manual. [Note: I could be persuaded to sell this as body-only, in which case the D-BG2 would be on offer for $75.] The Kirk camera plate is custom designed to provide a solid tripod connection for the D-BG2. The 14/2.8 could almost be described as NIB. I love the results from this lens but have only seldom carried it with me due to its size. Original box, manual, soft case are included. The 43mm Limited (black) is one of the three lenses in the original Limited series; I bought it from a dealer in Japan (along with the other two) because at first the black versions weren’t distributed in the U.S. My 31mm was on a camera that was stolen many years ago, never replaced it. The 77mm has seen heavy duty over the years, but the 43mm is one I have never warmed up to. Several on the list proclaim this lens as their single most favorite lens, but the focal length never seems to fit the way I am looking at a scene. So, seldom used, Ex+ condition. The 400/5.6 is a lovely lens. Fortunately it has a tripod collar; given its length and weight it is difficult to handhold, at least for me. I bought this used 2-3 years ago. It is in excellent condition and I am pleased with the results I get, but I just haven’t used it very much. The Tamron 500mm mirror lens (bought used from a list member IIRC) has seen very limited use and is in excellent condition. Original box, manuals, carrying case, rear filters etc. are all included. Has an Adaptall-2 mount so it could easily be used on a non-Pentax body. I bought the Carl Zeiss and Helios M-42 lenses used, on a whim. I have used neither of them for more than just a few “test” shots and quickly decided that I don’t like fussing with the “green button” process. But I can verify that they are usable on a K-mount body via an M42-to-K adapter, or on a micro 4/3 body with an M42-to-m4/3 adapter. I am asking $40 and $15, but if someone buys the pair I’ll do a twofer special of $50 total and I’ll include an M42-to-micro4/3 adapter. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
