Misplaced decimal point perhaps? £9.99 sounds a bit more realistic!

You never know these days with the silly prices people are asking for Pentax gear. There is a Tamron Adaptall adaptor (PKA) for £73 at the moment. Would you pay an extra £60 not to press a green button?!

I agree £9.99 would be about right.
£73 for a Tamron PKA adapter isn't too outrageous. They would normally be about £50-60.

The PKA mount allows for auto metering like other A lenses. With the PK mount it is necessary to use the green button for manual metering.Quote:

In answer to the question of paying extra. The answer may well be dependent on how many Tamron lenses someone has. £60 divided by 3 or 4 or 5 becomes a lot more reasonable
