Is this worth getting for the K-m

I've replied to your PM on this JudithAnn, in summary I'd buy the Pentax Adapter K, the extension tube set and the Helios lens. If you don't already have a telephoto lens then also consider the Soligor 90-230mm zoom (but be aware it's not likely to be all that great).
Good luck!

Got the three pieces tonight....Now to learn something new.
i did attach all three to the K-m and had an uneducated go at it...IT WAS SO FUN!!!
Here are a few pic I took while I walked around the room

Lens Cap...
Pills...
Computer screen...
Too cold for BUGS here....and it was also night by the time I got them home...so everthing was taken in just room lighting.
I have NEVER used anything like this...so I must read and learn now.
I am thrilled to have bought them. The seller decided to sell the whole package tomorrow...so I offered her $50 instead of $40 for the three peices...she was keen to make an extra $10...after you told me it cost $100 for the adapter it seemed worth it. All peicie were very well cared for...excellent condition...makes me wonder if it was used at all.
I am very grateful for your guidance....THANKS A MILLION!!

If nothing else, you should grab that Mount Adapter K (if it's the official Pentax one) because the official price is now £64.99 ($105.20 Canadian) here in the UK and (although probably not as bad) has presumably had a price hike in Canada too.

I'm glad it all went (almost) to plan JudithAnn!
I can see you've started to catch the macro bug already - don't forget when the novelty of that starts to wear off that the Helios is also a pretty nice portrait lens in its own right (minus the extension tubes of course!).
Enjoy!

I will also try the lens in portrait...especially with the fortnight comp being "people". Should be a double challange for me!
