I know most of you guys are in the UK but I have some lenses for sale that are similar to the Comiscar 75mm 1.4 lenses in the US. I think the shipping would probably not worth shipping to the UK but here are some pictures. They seem brand new with covers and screws to lock rings in place. $85 USD shipped in flat rate box. Send me a message or reply here.

It would be $22.50 to ship to the UK for those who have asked.

Still a good price. 100-110 pounds posted is the normal range for a second hand Cosmicar. Including VAT yours should work out around 87 pounds.

Thanks for letting me know I am in the right price range. I have 25 more coming in a bulk deal but I need to verify if they are new so only selling one for now.

This isn't a criticism but are the small machine screws half done up? They seem to be protruding out too much or is it the photo angle?
The early bird may get the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.

It was locked in place with those machine screws at infinity and 1.4 when I got it. I loosened them to make sure it would focus and change the aperture.

Brooksy:
Phoenix / Bruce Almighty has confirmed they are normal. The Pentax is a later version of the Cosmicar and the screws are added to lock aperture and focus if required. If annoying I guess one could grind the bottom threads off and use the shortened screw to fill the holes.
Mallow:
I paid 120 pounds for mine, including shipping to OZ and it was second hand. I was happy enough with the deal.
If you come across any equivalent Computar lens at that price, let me know. They do work with the Photon Extreme adapter and I want one!
