Update.
Assuming no deals fall through, the Camera and 50/1.4 are the only items still for sale. If anyone wants to buy both I will pay for shipping in the US and throw in a few rolls of Fuji 200, 800, 0r 1600 color negative film. --Geoff


I recently purchased some Pentax camera equipment as a package. I wanted a couple of the lenses, but had to buy the whole package. What I didn't keep is offered here. I'm open to offers, especially if you want more than one item. Buyer pays actual shipping charge. I prefer payment by Paypal. PM if you're interested. Thanks,

--Geoff

Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 28mm f3.5 Excellent condition, clean glass, smooth focus, aperture is snappy and free of oil. Includes Pentax caps and case. $45/obo Sold

Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 35mm f3.5 Excellent condition, clean glass, smooth focus, aperture is snappy and free of oil. Includes Pentax caps and case. $50/obo Sale pending.

Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm f1.4. Average condition. There is some worn paint on the barrel and some dust specks on the interior elements. Glass is clean. There is some yellowing. The aperture is snappy and free of oil. It includes a Pentax front cap. $65/obo

Pentax Spotmatic SPII chrome camera. It shows some cosmetic wear in the form of worn paint and light scratches, especially on the bottom. The battery appears to be dead so I can't test the meter. It otherwise seems to be functioning fine. I've never used the camera, but will offer a refund if it's not working properly. $35

Auto Vivitar 300mm f/5.5 lens. Average condition. Some worn paint on the barrel. Glass is clean with a few specs of dust inside. This lens uses some sort of interchangable mount, and includes the Pentax M42 mount. (A Google search indcates this is probably a T4 mount.) The aperture is snappy and free of oil. However, the aperture linkage in the adapter is a bit sluggish. Includes front and rear caps. Based on the serial number, it appears this lens was made by Tokina. $30/obo Sold.

I have more images of everything available by request. Or I can post them all here if it won't take up too much space.

Great price on the 28/3.5, which is reputed to be the sharpest 28mm Pentax ever made.

Yes, the gems here are the 28 and the 35 - the 35 is one of the best Takumars, period, and this is a good price as well.

Hi Geoff, I am interested in the Vivitar. How much is shipping to 955**?

Wow, looks like a great buy you have, I'm wondering what lenses you kept! The SPII is a great camera; you might get a battery & try it!

OK, I made a big mistake. I accidently deleted all of the messages from my inbox, and I hadn't replied to some of them. I sorry for the inconvenience. If you haven't heard back from me, please send another PM. Thanks.

It looks like siriusdogstar is going to take the Vivitar 300, and Riku, the Takumar 28mm. The others are still available at this point.

I just shipped a lens to Finland for about $16 USD, so I imagine shipping on the camera would be in the same ballpark. Maybe that makes the decision easier one way or the other. I'd also throw in a few rolls of Fuji color negative film. It's expired by a couple of years but still works fine.

yes, I like these two a lot, but my fav. is the f1.4/50, Jussi I wonder why you don't seem to like it as much and 65 USD for it is a good price too!

Ah true, I do like it as well, it also is one of the best Takumars, or 50's, period, and that is a fair price these days. If someone buys the camera and lens together, that's a classic combo that really doesn't take a back seat to anything else, old or new, when it comes to image quality and beauty of the equipment itself.

Sorry Geoff, thanks for the offer but I must be firm. I yearned for a Spotmatic for so long in the 60s/70s and now over the last few years I've amassed one SP, 2 SPIIs, an SPF and an ESII. Plus 3 or 4 broken bodies too!! I've quenched the thirst now I think. Very Happy
