WishThrift lists used Pentax under Cameras and Photography, where six items are covered and prices typically run $24 to $1,130 (about £18 to £840) depending on the item and its condition.
Pentax has kept the same bayonet mount since 1975, so almost every lens it has made since then physically fits almost every body it has made since then.

No. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything. Condition is declared by the seller, and the guide describes how to read this maker’s own marks so you can judge a listing yourself.
