Things are so bad. This is the first lens I've bought in a month and a half.
But importantly, this lens was also on my lens "bucket list". I've been looking for a copy for close to two years!!
On background, this is a Kiron lens so available mounts are limited and all are fixed. I needed a PK mount to have any chance of using the lens on my Sigma SD14 camera body, and even with PK such use will come only after some (albeit minor) modification of the mount. I kept seeing the lens in all the other mounts, especially Minolta, worthless to me.
So the other day when I saw what I wanted here

I decided to take a chance despite the obvious negatives. I gave them an offer of US$15, which was accepted. US$15 is low for this lens, especially with shipping being free.
Today the lens arrived and it's smile city. It's a beautiful lens in virtually new condition!! With the lens listed as being only in "good" condition, this seller clearly subscribes to the addage: "Under promise and over deliver"!!
I've wanted this lens for so long; feel really fortunate to have stumbled onto such a nice, collectable, copy. |
