I've got one lens still in need of a home: the Sigma 28-80 macro II.
This inexpensive little wide-to-short-tele macro zoom lens is perfect for
beginners or photographers who frequently drop their cameras
(*coughcough*Larry*cough*wheeze*). Break it and you won't be out much
dough! It comes with a hood, caps and capkeeper strap already installed,
and is guaranteed not to be infested with lensgremlins, aperture-elves or
focus-gnomes. You can't beat this deal!
If you've got a kid with a Pentax who needs a basic lens, or who is
interested in macro, this is the lens for you!
So how's $15 sound? Worth it? You betcha!
$3 first class shipping in the US.

Subject: FS: Lenses for cheap
Pardon my posting a couple days early, I don't expect to have time to
post on Friday.
I have three lenses I want to get rid of, and I'm not overly worried
about how much I get for them. I don't have the lenses in front of me
here at work so I don't have all the specs, but if you want to know more
just email me and I'll respond when I'm home later.
Sigma 28-80 macro II. Came as part of a two-lens, entry level kit (the
70-300 is long gone) purchased in 2000 or 2001. Quite sharp for such a
low-end lens, and fantastic 1:2 macro (the bokeh's not super, but what's
in focus looks great). Comes with caps and hood. I'd like, oh, $30 for
it? I'm flexible.
Pentax SMC AF 35-70 f2.8. This lens was the counterpart to the ME-F.
Combined, they were the first autofocus camera to reach production:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_ME_F . I have no idea if my lens'
autofocus works, since I've never found an ME-F to test it on. I've
never even taken a picture with the lens, so I can't describe its
photographic capabilities. It's kinda dusty, there may be some specks
inside, I've never really looked closely. I don't have a front cap for
it. At the very least, I know it's a usable fast zoom. How does $40
sound to you? Again, I'm flexible.
M42 Tele-Takumar 200mm f/5.6. Can't tell you much of anything about
this lens. Comes with a hood and rear cap, but no front cap.
Interesting dual-ring aperture control (one sets min aperture, the other
actually controls the aperture and can't go smaller than the first
ring's setting). It's yours for, say, $15?
All prices are in US greenbacks, and shipping will be extra, though as
inexpensive as possible. In the US, add $3 for first-class mail (if you
want Priority Mail, insurance or other services, let me know and I'll
work up a price). International buyers, give me your address and
shipping preferences and I'll figure out your shipping cost.
PayPal only.
Thanks!
John
