BIDDING FINISHED - ITEMS SOLD
Make me an offer! All proceeds to go to Mike Salway as a donation (as thanks for all the work he has put into IIS).
I have 2 manual focus K-mount lenses & "problably" working Pentax K1000 camera (I haven't used it for a long time). It breaks my heart to sell this as the camera has been with me 20+ years but I hope somebody can get some use out of it rather than it sitting in a box. The lenses should mount straight on a current Pentax DLSR and work as a manual lenses (the Pentax site says 'K-mount lenses usable with restrictions'). They can be adapted to Canon DSLR's, but you have to remove the aperture lever at the back of the lens to prevent it clashing with the mirror.
The 2 lenses are the 55mm f1.8 and 135mm f3.5. When I was using film the 55mm lens worked very well at f2.8 and the 135 I always used wide open af f3.5. Many of the photos in this gallery were made with these lenses:

The condition of the K1000 is pretty average, but the lenses are good and optics clean with no scratches.
