Hello!
This isn't really a for sale or wanted discussion, but I wasn't sure where else to put it. I have two old lenses that are both Pentax mount (I'm assuming the K mount since both are autofocus). Both are zooms, and both claim to be macro (although neither says 1:1, so it may be psuedomacro).
The first is a small plastic lens that is 28-90mm. Like I said, it is black plastic with some rubber, and a small gold colored (though clearly plastic) band on the focusing ring. From closest to the body to the end, there is an aperture ring from 3.5 to 22, as well as "A", which I am assuming means controlled through camera. next is the zoom ring, from 28-90, followed by a stationary band that includes a "normal" to "macro" swtich, and says "at 90" below macro, has the focal length, a pyramid looking series of lines, and "Ashperical" in gold. The last is the focusing ring which includes focal lengths in feet and meters, and macro proportions.
Under the lens cap, inside the screw area to attach a filter, it says all of these things below
"Quantaray for pentax af | 28-90mm | 1:3.5-5.6 macro | Made in Japan | Multi-coated | *diameter symbol* 55"
There ARE grooves for attaching a lens hood, but I don't have one.
The second lens is large, black, heavier, and from what I can tell it is made of metal.
from closest out again; aperture ring with 4.5-32 and "A" as well as "KA" off to the side. Small metal button as well. To adjust zoom, you either pull in or push out on the barrel, and there are markings on there from 75-200mm. You spin the barrel to focus,and it has focal length on it as well. On the front it says all of the below
"Five Star | MC | Auto | macro | zoom | No.K8533940 | 1:4.5 | 75-200mm| 52 *diam*"
If anyone knows anything about these lenses please let me know. I don't own a pentax so I can't test quality. If anyone knows what they would be worth, the quality of them, or the product name, that would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Tyler
