  • For sale Couple of great legacy lenses for fun....

    Hi,

    I have a couple of great legacy lenses that I've decided to sell, both of which are suitable for use with appropriate adapters either on Four Thirds or m43 bodies, although you'd ideally want a body with IBIS.


    This is a superb lens, with an optical formula that has stood the test of time and is still pretty much unchanged with the current FA lens. If you happen to own a Pentax body it has an A setting on the aperture ring so works in all the various programme and auto modes on the camera. Otherwise it'll work perfectly as a manual lens on a mirrorless or Four Thirds camera.

    Focus is silky smooth, cosmetically the lens is excellent, and optically super too. No nasties and only a few very minor dust specs as you'd expect with an older lens, none of which impact on image quality. If you're interested in a brilliant portrait lens that also happens to be a bit faster than the mZuiko 45, as well as offering nicer build and slightly more "characterful" image quality, then you can't go far wrong with this one.

    And if you pay the asking price and twist my arm, I'll also include an adapter to m43.








    Superb example of this lens - what's not to like about a cheap 1,000mm equiv lens on a Four Thirds sensor? Boxed with hood, original rear lens cap, two original front caps and hood. The lens also comes complete with a rear "normal" filter which is an important part of the overall optical design but often missing from the secondhand examples you see.

    I don't think you'd easily find a better example - it's not far off mint condition and used with care you'd be surprised how good the images can be - I've posted a couple of my examples below. Comes complete with a Pentax Adaptall mount - so easy to convert to Four Thirds or m43. Excuse the dust on the final image of the lens - all on the outside and now airbrushed away!















    Please PM with any questions.

    Cheers,

    Jon

    My first real camera was a Pentax Spotmatic II with the 50mm f1.4. Fantastic lens. I'm so tempted - must resist!!

      The 50/1.4 has gone, but the Tamron mirror is still available.... and it's a lot of fun!
