I agree it is an excellent lens, and it performs really well both in film and digital. I am selling it only because I have too many lenses which I don't use that often (I know, a PDMLer can't have too many lenses :-) ). Strangely enough, I haven't been able to sell it so far, this is why I have reduced the asking price.

Re: FS Friday: several Pentax lenses (and an AF body)
I'm going to hate myself for this, but you should put it on e-bay. I haven't seen one of them go for less than $800-$900 which is a roughly 600-700 euros.You shouldn't short change yourself. My last comment was a joke unfortunately it's just not in my budget right now.

With film use on the wane, and the 14/2.8 on the market, I suspect the used price for the 15/3.5 is going to be quite low, as the 14/2.8 isn't a terribly expensive lens, and is a better lens on the DSLR than the 15/3.5 is.

My last comment was > a joke unfortunately it's just not in my budget right now. > Thanks for the advice. I have tried to sell it on Ebay, to no avail. Perhaps it is because now the euro-dollar exchange rate is too high for non-EU people (1 dollar=0.78 euro), or, more probably, because my feedback as a seller is too short (3 sales only). I know I might sell it for more, but if I sell to a member of the list at least I don't have to deal with the Ebay fuss. My experience buying and selling to PDML members has been very good so far.
