Searching for extension rings for my K10D. Kenko seems to have delivery problems. Anyone a good suggestion.

Bought mine from SRB-Griturn link. They have a set of 3 available - the engineering is nothing special, but they work OK. They provide automatic aperture control and full metering on my K10D, but there is no mechanical connection for the autofocus, which consequently doesn't work. Cost about £70 for the set as far as I remember, and delivery was quick.

Oops - just looked at the price on SRB-Griturn's website - seems to be £163.50 for the Pentax K version. I thought they were expensive at the £70 or so that I paid, and I wouldn't recommend them at this price.

Sorry if I got your hopes up!

Pentax announced a year ago that they were introducing their own branded converters.

Any wonder Pentax remain in the shadows of the big two?

Keep an eye on Ebay.I picked up a set of 3 rings with contacts but no autofocus (Jessops) for a vey reasonable amount of money.

Have a look for 'extension tube' under the SHOP link from the top of this page - manual set is just £12
Good luck
