Well, your A* 135mm f1.8 is _really_ old, pre-dates digital, and is
missing that new lens smell.
Actually Bruce my comment was about the A* 200mm macro....
I don't have the A* 135 f1.8.

Well, your A* 135mm f1.8 is _really_ old, pre-dates digital, and is
missing that new lens smell. Plus it will certainly be suffering from
random subatomic perturbations -- they all do eventually.
I'll take it off your hands for fifty bucks. Can't hope for better.

Ah, but I can ask because I have one, bought around 15 years ago for

If you have to ask you can't afford it.
On the other hand you might want to ask Mark Cassio, (I hope I got your
name right Mark). He had parts custom made to repair his A*200 4.0 IIRC.

So what does that make my 200mm f4.0 SMC A* Ed Macro worth?

Agree with P.J.
An argument could probably be made for the fact that it isn't going to
sell for LESS in the future, so from that standpoint could be looked
at as an investment. If and when Pentax ever offers a FF camera, the
price will probably easily jump a grand (minimum).
Frankly, I don't expect it to be available for long before somebody
snags it.

they're worth that much to someone. If I had an unlimited pot of

buy it.
