Pentax eye cup
I picked up four of these with a bunch of Takumar gear I recently purchased on E-bay. I use one on my DS for macro photography and much prefer them to the Pentax eyecups If you want one and can't source it over there for a descent price, I will send you one of these for the cost of postage. ...

I have a couple of junk lenses that came with other ebay purchases. Before I bin them I thought I would check if anyone wants them for the cost of the postage. 1. Vivitar 80-200 f/4 macro focusing zoom. The lens zooms OK but twisting it to focus is incredibly tight. 2. Tamron 80-210 f/3.8-...

The Vivitar should be an easy fix; it just needs pulling apart and all the accumulated grit cleaned out of the helicoid by the sound of it. A little silicon grease, put it back together and voila! :D I've got no personal use for it, but if nobody else wants to take it on then I'll save it from th...

MXs Dilema (Images Heavy!)
Ok, maybe I'm over dramatizing :) but I do need to decide which one of the MXs to sell and which one to keep. What I really need to know is an approximate value of each body. If there's a significant difference, then I'll keep the worst cosmetically. :wink: Pentax MX 1 ...

SMC-A 50mm F1.7 with filter
Hi. I'm letting go yet another 50mm F1.7, my last one (fully working one). No cause for alarm. I finally got around to reassembling my dad's F1.4. I bought this one from MXV. The lens is in very good condition cosmetically with only some paint loss in the filter ring (tiny spots...

pentax k200d and lenses etc.
Might be an idea to mention the tiny mark on your listing. Some people will do anything to try and get some money back or start kicking off with Paypal about goods not described properly Also worth considering that you mentioned it here and there are still a lot of decent people on Ebay who mi...

Looking for tripod recommendations please
Amin the tripod you have is nearing it's maximum weight carrying capabilities with your kit on it. You need to spend money to get a good tripod - it will be money well spent believe me, but it must be spent. Better to get a really good one now than come back in a year looking for what you should ha...

Wtd. K20D Plus Lenses
I had a couple of non AF lenses and they were a darned nuisance as I had to think about the focus all the time. I still think about focus very carefully but the ability to use AF is such a boon I'd be very reluctant to lose it now. I know which lens is easier to use and gives better quality and i...

You basically hit the nail on the head with the Inconvenience comment. You see i think thats been my problem. The better Glass i bought the more i seemed to be relying on the camera and glass when in fact what i really wanted was to push things to the limit and see what i could achieve. I am not sur...
