Of course :-) So you get the opportunity to make good money and be nice
to a buyer and list member at the same time. And you have given some
support to the work of the Salvation Army, too (who, I'm assuming got
the equipment for free, so they also made a small profit.) Not bad for a
day's work.

I haven't even had a chance to do the photos of the equipment yet
but that's partly because it is just too hot here even with my ac's
full blast. I melt at a lower temperature than most

50mm prime SMC Pentax FA 1.4 BLACK - this works on manual on the
istD and kinda worked on auto focus but not properly ... apparently
it works on later issues -- or some (a brief check on ebay) With
operating manual from 1991.
Let me know what you want for it...
Let me do some more digging :-) I guess you know this lens ..
It's the same as all the Pentax 50mm f1.4 lenses but in FA livery,
(Ok, so they were supposedly tweeked, and they have the best coatings
Pentax put in the focal length). I've been looking for nice short
portrait tele for the K20d that takes full advantage of the
automation. The f1.4's aren't perfect but they're more than good
enough. I find that I don't end up using the M50 f1.4 on the K20d, I
used to use it a lot on the D and Ds.
It's still a "current" lens, too:

That price is about 2.5 times as high as when I bought mine new, when
was it, 3 or 4 years ago? Around that time used specimens would
typically fetch a lot more than the new price on eBay because "everyone"
thought it was discontinued, and hard to find...
