It was the least expensive of all the Pentax 135 K-mount lenses. Some of the elements aren't multi-coated. The supply of these lenses exceeds the demand, so they are not worth a lot. Others have reported getting good results with the lens as well, but it's only forth around $50 US. I'd start the auction at $30 tops. Or I'd keep the lens.
