Description

Pentax SP 500 w/ 55mm 1.8 SMC, Pretty but AS-IS
This camera looks to be in excellent used condition.  There is a circular rub on the bottom around the tripod socket, otherwise it looks great.  The shutter seems to run ok at all speeds but was not machine tested so the shutter may not be accurate.  It does have a dry sound to it.  The prism looks great.  I do not have the correct battery for proper testing so I improvised a MS76 to provide power.  I could not do a proper accuracy test of the meter with this method but I was able to tell that the meter is fully functional.  The lens looks great and is free of fungus or serious scratches but you may detect very minor internal dust with a bright light and this is pretty typical.  The mirror foam looks a bit odd like it was replaced by an amateur.  The back seals look so-so.  This is offered AS-IS and this is reflected in the price. The accessory shoe shown is included.
PLEASE CAREFULLY REALLY READ ALL OF THE FINE PRINT BELOW BEFORE PLACING YOUR BID
I primarily sell used photo equipment. As such it is usually not 100% perfect. I try to advertise items as honestly as I can, but if you are looking for something that is 100 % perfect it might be better if you buy the item new. Also, I do NOT use stock photos.
The following is for those that do not use eBay Global shipping:
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
