I think you would be very hard pressed to find a K version or a SMC m42 screw version in nice condition for under $400.
BTW, IMHO the smc m42 screw version is more valuable because it can be used on m42 or K without any loss of function while the k version is only usable on k mount. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Cassino Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 6:13 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Fw: FS Friday - Pentax K-500/4,5 (price ideas) I had the screw-mount version of this lens, which had been modified by having part of a K-Mount adapter permanently affixed to it. I paid about $450 for it and sold it for the same price a few years later. Bought it maybe 9 years ago and sold it three or four years later. No idea what the current price would be - but I'd ask in the $400 neighborhood. - MCC --- Tim Øsleby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi crew > > Any ideas what is going price for this lens? > I have seen some prices at eBay, but they may have > given me wrong ideas. > > Tim Typo > Mostly Harmless > > > > > On 9/29/07, Tim Øsleby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> I know.
