Would be to early for me at the moment (unless it is an bargain that is to good to be missed) as I just splashed out on the K-5, AF 360 Flash etc.
Just sourcing out the market at the moment.
Maybe in a couple of month time with this kind of price but then again I want the Sigma 170-500mm as well by the end of April and Sigma already announced a price rise for this one.

They no longer make the 170-500mm so a price rise from Sigma is impossible.

That's news, as I got an advert that announces the rise in the price. Well, maybe I get a decent second hand one then for a good price.
SORRY it was the 150-500mm in the Clifton Cameras advert
Too early in the morning and not enough coffee yet

Quite a few of us use Jessops ones and they do appear from time to time.

Do not understand why they are called AF, as there is no screw coupling.

Lucky you.
Only joking. But as for the AF part that may have still something to do from the old 35mm days and before auto focus.I still got an Nikon F2 and a F2AF. The AF has an aperture coupler that told the camera light meter what aperture I had set on the lens, The F2 does not have this feature.
May have something to do with that and the good old days and just carried over, also I do admit by today's standard it is very confusing.

I seem to look for something that may not exist
I am looking for some Auto Extension Tubes that will work with the K-5 but I only can find them for the 'Big two' or Minolta/Sony.
Do they exist for Pentax or is none of the manufactures (i.e. Kenko) bothered to produce one for the Pentax models
I got some manual Bellows but a set of auto tubes would come in more handy as I could carry them in my backpack.
I looked in all the usual places but seem not to be able to find them (SRS, Warehouse Express, eBay, Amazon etc)
Anyone can point me in the right direction please
Kind regards
