Advertisement Category: Want To Sell (WTS)

Equipment Type: Lens
Equipment Brand: Pentax
Equipment Model: SMC DA 35/2.8 Macro Limited Lens for Pentax dSLR Camera
Price (S$): 695
Description:
Got the lens on impulse, just wanted to test out how good it is. Well, it's an excellent performer, 1:1 macro, sharp wide open, great focal length even for general use. Since I just bought a Voigtlander 125/2.5 macro, and I still have a Pentax A 50/2.8 macro lens, not to say FA31, 43 and DA1650 and etc, can't afford keeping them all. Decide to let this one go for now. Probably would buy it back later on (if I unload some of the underutilized lenses).

The lens is like new w/ no sign of use, comes w/ front and rear caps but no box. Asking for $695 only, my loss is your gain.

Here is the actual lens:




Some sample shots I took by the DA35 macro lens:

Yeah, didn't expect I could've found a Voigtlander 125 macro so soon. Kinda broke now, need to let go some lens to cover the cost.

UPz for a sharp sharp lens.

get rid of your under-utilised lens, instead of selling the DA 35 macro? This lens seems like a keeper for those who have it

Well, I got three macro lenses, but probably don't need so many, don't you think?

Yeah, actually I haven't really taken any macro for a long time except some testing shots w/ this DA35. As to the VL125, it's a hyped lens, hard to find nowadays. I just couldn't let the chance get away when I spot one Probably will not use it much, but it's a lens that will increase its value along the time ... Not like the DA35 which I can always buy back if I want to

Heh, I got four macro lenses
Aiyoh, I think you could have saved yourself a bundle if you had got the Voigtlander earlier.
Price for DA35 Macro might go up too if it develops a cult following...

Anyway up for you. What a lovely lens... I might buy one in the future.

Thanks Bro. The DA35 is a very fun lens to use, I don't mind keeping it actually But I'd rather let it go first and see how I'd like the VL125 ...

And if you don't like your VL125, you know you have a ready buyer in me...

Cheers!

You can see this lens is probably the most talked-about lens at the forum (and PentaxForums too) There should be some reasons why so many users like the lens so much ...

I am surprised that the len's not yet sold!

Guys, I got it at about 750 SGD imported from Japan, this quite a good offer as it's not even been used for more than a month?

Grab it before it's gone!

Thanks Bro. Sold already ... at a much lower price than I asked for But it's to a good friend, hope he'd put it in good use
