EXTENSION TUBES

I may be in England in July and was wondering what the options of Jessops house brand extension tubes are. Year's ago when the Minolta 7000 was new I purchased a set for this SLR which last me till last July when I moved up to the Pentax *ist DL2 which as been great fun, and thus relearning to create images.

Thanks,

You might have to be quick before they go out of business and you might want to pre order. My experience with Jessops recently that if you want anything that is remotely unusual then you will have to wait 28 days for it. This appears to be the case for anything in Pentax fit. Having said that you might have a bit more luck with their own brand kit. i don't know about the Minolta fit tubes but the Pentax ones are KA not AF so you will have to manual focus but AF and macro don't really mix anyway so that's no real loss. I think they go for about £40.

I tried to buy an ND filter in my local Messups a couple of months ago. They not only didn't have one, they tried to tell me that they don't exist.

Thanks, guess I will pass, and save up and get a MACRO lens when i return home to CANADA around CHRISTMAS time.

And do appreciate the information, about this once great shop.

Pity you aren't visiting Holland instead of the UK. I bought a set of extension tubes a couple of weeks ago from Kamera-Express, with AF, (not that that is any use) for €119. I could probably have got them cheaper elsewhere, but I was in the shop, and they were in stock.....They are Soligor ones btw.

Thanks for the heads up about them, and about AF on them sounds sort of cool sort of.

ffordes have Kenko brand new for £69.........setof 3!...........any help?........Ken
