Greetings PDMLers! It is now Friday in Leningrad and so I'm posting a couple of lenses in my quest to pay for an astrophotography lens I want at KEH.
First up we have a scarce Spiratone (Sigma made) 85mm f1.8 If you are looking for shallow DOF and love bokeh, but can't justify buying a Samyang or a Takumar, here's your ticket. The aperture blades are stuck wide open, which is not a problem if that's why you wanted the 85mm f1.8 in the first place (to shoot it wide open). : ) Priced to sell at $89 plus actual shipping. I've got some images that I JUST took with this lens over my afternoon break in my PF Marketplace listing: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/photographic-equipment-sale/240573-sale-scarce-spiratone-85mm-f1-8-aperture-stuck-wide-open-depth-field-monster.html Secondly, I've got a "stack-o-primes" Pentax-A 35-105mm f3.5 This lens shows a bit of cosmetic wear (mostly around the flared end). I comes with caps and a protective filter. When I hold it in the light just right, I can see 7 dust specs that appear to be in the front lens group. I can't imagine that they would affect image quality, but I'm pricing this lens down a bit for that reason. Lots of samples of what this lens can do at the pentaxphotogallery.com http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/photos/gallery/query?camera=&lens=670 Priced to sell at $149 plus actual shipping Thanks for looking!
