At age 87 I don't get out for much shooting, and when I do I cannot carry what I used to. I must part with some treasures.
The Adaptalls have been my mainstay for decades; now these eight must go:
First the primes: The 3.5/17 SP is still in demand; it comes with the scarce OEM hood. $280.
The other four are all fast f/2.5 lenses. Two of them, the 90 and the 180, are SP lenses; I am not alone in thinking the 24 and the 135, should be also.
The 24 is the later BB model; $88.
The 90 has a diaphragm problem and is partially disassembled. $20 for parts or repair.
The 135 is scarce; $125.
The 180 is scarcer still; it is the famous Anniversary lens of the 1980s. Only 3000 of them were made; until autofocus overturned the marketplace they were almost impossible to find. $480.
And now the zooms: the 2.8-3.8/35-80 SP is a sweet lens and was popular in its day. $58.
The 3.8-4/80-210 is model 103A, a big improvement over the earlier 03A. $42.
Teleconverter 2x SP, $36.
All lenses are optically and mechanically sound; appearance not perfect but not bad. All have front and rear caps.
I have many Adaptall II mount adapters: Canon FD, Olympus OM, Minolta MD, Nikon AI, Pentax K and KA. $20 each except KA which is $60.
Prices include Priority shipping to CONUS; 14-day return if not as described. Prices intended to be fair; please howl if I am out of line.

Have you sold anything yet??
Unfortunate that you are posting this now. About three weeks ago I bought a 60-300 from someone who had treasured it (so it is in really good condition) and then I bought a basic K adapter. Based on what I paid for those, your prices are reasonable, but I'll have to think about buying any more of these.

Add the 35-80 and the 24 and 17, then you will have the whole range covered. :)
Sold a Nikon mount.
