For Sale FS: Sigma XQ 200mm f/4.0 YS mount with Pentax ES Adapter

[Fixcinater]

This lens does a neat little trick when you actuate the second helicoid for closest focusing range: soft focus!

Seems variable with aperture, so less of a SF effect at f/8 or smaller when in the near-macro range. Last two images are with the lens at regular minimum focus distance on a non-film APS-C format Canon camera and total MFD (using the second helicoid) with the soft focus at full effect (full aperture). No editing/adjustment.

Glass is clean, no fungus/haze/scratching/cleaning marks. Stops down quickly with no aperture issues. Nice and sharp with normal use. I prefer this to any of the Takumar 200mms I have had but I end up reaching for the 300mm when I need a tele longer than 85mm. I have the original Sigma front cap for this, but no rear cap.

That's an interesting lens. What are the horizontal and vertical scales used for?

They show the dimensions of the focused area for exacting reproduction ratio applications like copy work or the like.
