Hello Lumix G-eeks rogar-BigGrin(DBG) , GH1/2 and Pentax lens owners

I can buy a Pentax A Zoom 35-105mm F3.5 macro lens from a local dealer for $ 160.- in very good condition, including 2 month guarantee. No fungus, scratches, dust - of course.

I think the price is Ok (not a bargain but fair), isn´t it ?

The lens seems a insider tipp - very sharp and I read very good reviews about the lens.
(It´s for my GH2)

It is best 35-105mm zoom ever made. Period.
Such price on ebay is rare during high demain.

...I bought it.....

And now I need a K-Mount to M43 Adapter for my GH2, correct ? (Sorry, it's my first Pentax non M42 Screw Mount lens)

Any recommendations ?

I found this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pentax-K-lens-M...tem5640282ead&clk_rvr_id=235338862063&afsrc=1


Thanks in advance

Cheap one will do.
But if you want to buy DA lense in hte future get one with aperture adjustment ring (one with higher price).

People tend to lie a little about price they get lens for.
Plus most of this people did not get it on public resource like ebay.
And prices for used lenses inflate very fast in last two years.

I agree, for $160 it's still a great buy for that lens. I would buy it myself if I did not already have great fast prime lenses in the 35-135mm FL range and a 35-70mm F2.8 zoom.
