I don't think that offer is available outside the USA.


Don't sigh - just do it. Be happy, don't worry, as the music goes.

I try to do that as well. Plus, I have spent a fair bit of $$ on gear 
lately anyway, albeit on a...errr...competing brand. In addition, 
there are other - non-photography related - toys I would like to save 
for...plus a fairly hefty (for me) tax bill due at the end of the

I am stupidly tempted by the bargain condition DA35 macro.

I don't care about appearance, just functionality  How big of a risk would I be 
taking?

Would it be worth the extra $80 to get the EX+ copy?


KEH appear to apply their ratings very conservatively. I've bought BGN 
items from KEH before and didn't regret it.

Frank, 

I've got katzeye screens in Pentax bodies.  When I want something slightly out

KEH is showing those lenses under 35mmPentax Autofocus Fixed Focal 
Length Lenses.


The link takes me to the Pentax Digital page. You have to go up to KEH 
home  drill back down into 35mm to get to the FA Limited lenses.


I guess it's also good news for whoever it was that was moaning with 
regret the other day because they gave up their 16-45 F4. Looks like 
they've got several of them.

I would go for the BGN. My experience with KEH has been great. The items 
I've purchased have always been in better shape than their condition code 
and there's never been an optical or functional issue. The most I've seen is 
cosmetics and I've bought some BGN level lenses.

thought  people  were  selling  pentax  gear  in droves.  Should  be a  buyers
