Lately I've noticed a vast discrepancy between what shipping costs and what Ebay charges YOU. I enter the weight and size of a package and when I see the listing the shipping is(as an example) $11 but when I buy the label the cost is $5! The problem is that the shipping quoted isn't consistent, I wish I could tell you that you can ignore the shipping as its off by 50% because it seems to follow no such pattern. Please be assured that excess shipping is returned and I do combine shipping as I'd rather ship one package that three!THE BAZOOKA! Now I'm not a user of tele lenses(normally) but shooting with this thing is a blast! For me a long lens is 90mm..maybe 135 so you can imagine how my eye bulged when I swung this thing around and took a few test pics. Now the pics you see are taken with a 50mm SMC Pentax and then I'd pick out a detail with the tele, its sharp alright! The pics are all handheld so imagine what this thing can do on a tripod! I shot the pics on a Pentax 10.
Glass is coated and perfect, the barrel is unstuffed and unmarred. Original front and rear caps, original case, guarantee card with matching serial number, Pentax lens booklet etc. All you see in the pics. A handy feature is that this lens takes 52mm filters, just undo the wee knob you see on the rear and that allows the rear end of the lens to pop off revealing the mounting thread. Thats way handier that trying to find 120mm filters at the other end :-)
Weight on the lens and case is 26lbs, they don't make them like this anymore!!...so get one while you can. :-)
