For Sale - Pentax SMC Lenses - Proceeds to go to IIS

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.

Houghy,

Good point, lets make to the highest bidder finishing this coming Friday say 8pm EST/ 9pm Eastern Daylight Time (10 UT). I am willing to cover shipping within reason so payment can made directly to Mike to keep things as simple as possible. Hows that sound Mike?

Could these be used with a 300D with a suitable adapter, Terry ?

Cool Doug,

I had always considered the aperture lever would cause a problem, but it looks like the lenses can be adapted for the Canon EFs series (i.e 300D/350D/400D/20D/30D cameras).

Well if there are no more offers then looks like the winning Bidders are:

Erick - $40 for 135mm lens.
Doug (dugnsuz) - $20 for 55mm lens.

Guys can you PM me (I need your postal addresses, etc). Doug you also wanted the K1000 so need to talk to you about that.

Thanks Terry, for the 135 and the K1000.

I'll try to put the 135 to use first on my KX.

Long term project - fit a webcam into the K1000! Call me crazy, but it looks like fun! I've seen a link describing howto - where did I file that?
