Asahi Pentax SMC M Zoom 1:4.5 80mm ~ 200mm Lens Vintage!

One vintage zoom lens from Pentax in Japan!

Rated best buy during the 35mm film camera heyday & amongst the 3 best zoom lens available at the time in this telephoto range, the others being the Zeiss & Nikkor.  I've owned this lens from new, used occasionally at sporting events & holidays.  It was fitted with a protective filter lens from day one & its been properly stored in camera carry case with silica gel desiccant.  Hence the cosmetic condition is pretty good, save for few marks from usage. Please see photos.

This lens works as it should, with smooth action. Its a Pentax K-mount lens so its compatible with many brands of cameras, besides Pentax.  Lens comes with the aforementioned filter & original Pentax lens caps (front & back)

The last photo shows this lens fitted on an Asahi Pentax K1000 SLR camera & Braun 370 BVC professional flashgun. The camera & pro flash gun are NOT included. They're available in my other items on ebay.

International bidders are welcome!

About the new "ebay payments" interface just introduced by ebay & its effect on dispatch time
We all got used to ebay purchases with PayPal payments, that cleared immediately, resulting in fast dispatch.  Ebay have now introduced "ebay payments".  Ebay are saying "The payout will generally be initiated within 2 business days from the order confirmation. Once initiated it typically takes up to 4 business days for the funds to clear in your account and become available to you".  The onus is on the seller to keep checking when payment has cleared.  Thusly, this new "ebay payments" interface could add up to 6 working days to dispatch time compared to the aforementioned PayPal payments.  I imagine somebody will get a bonus for this.  This new payments thingy forced upon us (you can't opt-out of it) has therefore added 5 working days to my dispatch time.  Please bear this in mind before placing your bid.
