Super Program camera to sell

Hi folks!
I am about to sell my 1984 Super Program with several lenes. It
has been parked since 1987 as that year I had an serious car accident
and didn't use it much after that time. Two lenses are unused, A 28mm
f2.8 and a 200mm f1.4. The 50mm f1.7 is near new and the primary lens
I used is nearly perferct. It's a 35-105 macro-zoom. I have the
AF200T flash which is like new and works perfectly. The lenses are
all SMC and are all metal. The 200mm has a built in lens hood. There
are ZERO lens scratches on all the glass. Again,the finishes on
everythink are flawless. If anybody can give me an idea of the resale
value, I would very much appreciate it. If anyone is interested in
buying this set up, let me know and I will supply pictures of
everything. I believe my little Casio EX-Z750 will do decent job of
showing good detail.


Thanks a bunch, ansdguy
PS: I also have a 67mm polarizer for the zoom and a Leowpro bag for
all.

 

A 200mm f/1.4 ? Now thats a lens I'd like to see. Must be a heavy beast.

I don't have a scale, but it does weigh about 2/3 as much as the
35-105 zoom.
I'm guessing around 12 0r 14 ounces.

 

Read your post. Many 200mm lenses are f/4, some f/3.5. a few f/2.8.....
I've never seen a 200mm f/1.4 lens. Such a lens would be enormous and
expensive.

Yoshi,

Maybe I'm reading this this wrong. The description on the lens
barrell says;
SMC Pentax-M 1:4 200mm. Let me know what I have.

Yoshi,
I realized my mistake. The lens is f4. Sorry.

 

That's an f4 lens, not a f1.4.

 

200mm f/4 perhaps?

 

I think you've misread the info on the front lens bezel. It's a 1:4 or
f/4 lens.

 

It's still a fairly good lens.

Ansdguy-

I suggest that you check completed sales on eBay, to get an idea what
they might bring. You may find it isn't worth the trouble of selling
them. As you may suspect, the value of such cameras and their lenses
has diminished greatly as digital SLRs have become available.

I also have a Super Program that has been parked for many years. When I
recently checked to see if it was working, I found that the foam light
seals were gummy, and the mirror bumper had deteriorated. A better
question would be, "is the body worth more than it would cost for a
general cleaning and foam replacement".

If the lenses are KA, they can be used in manual-focus mode on an AF
body such as one of the Pentax DSLRs. (The K lenses can be used, but it
is not as convenient.)

Foam replacement can be done while watching TV ... most of the time is spent
getting the goo out of the grooves with a toothpick. I replace the
light-seal foam with black yarn when possible. I'm stuck with urethane foam
for the mirror bumper.

Google for illustrated guides. The first one that popped up for me
is:
