This K-mount Pentax SMC 300 f4 lens is a nice bit of glass with a clear aperture of 75mm (i.e a 75mm f4 refractor). It is cosmetically very good with just a few minor nicks and there a few minorl spots on the coatings (but not enough to effect optical performance). All the functions, including focusing work smoothly.
The most obvious use would be to use as a manual focus lens with a Pentax SLR/DSLR. But it also appears to make a fine Rich field telescope, judging by the views of the moon I got holding up eyepieces to the back of the lens. It could also be used as Finder or Autoguider scope.
I would like $150 + Postage for this lens. Just a note the same model lens went for $US 227 a few days ago on ebay (item 200061000960) so this represents an amazing bargain for iceinspacer's only.
I've thought about it....and more than once....but my wife locked the keyboard and is now hovering over the "Standby" button on the cable modem as I write this….

Sorry Dave - my wife has removed all the numeric keys from the keyboard, which includes the 4/$ key. I'll have to learn ASCII and see if I can use the other keys to emulate them.
