You are considering the Buy it Now purchase of a used SMC Pentax-M 135mm 1:3.5 manual focus lens. It is one of the sharpest Pentax mid-telephoto primes - sharp, contrasty and perfect for those portraits with a nice bokeh. It is a pleasure to handle and use this lens with its manual focusing. Its build quality is superb. It even has a built in lens hood. The lens works great on the Pentax digital SLRs like the ist D, DS, K100D, K200D, K10D and K20D in manual (M) mode where it acts as a 200mm equivalent of 35mm cameras.
The lens is in excellent condition. The barrel is clean and blemish free. There is atiny nick or scratch on the front glass element that is hardly noticeable. There is no fungus on the glass. The focusing ring is smooth and well damped. The aperture blades are snappy. The SMC coating of the lens is in gorgeous condition. It comes with both the lens caps.
