This arrived today and inside the kettle box (strange things people pack Ebay itmes in) was an absolutely immaculate 90mm macro lens plus just as good macro tube, a set of reflector cards, a Tamron mist spray (never seen one of those before) a leather case for the lens and optional extra hood all packaged in a presentation box. Also there was an Adaptall II PK screw mount, a Adaptall II PK/A mount, a new Kood UV filter and a Tokina 2x TC

Well chuffed with it ..

That's a pretty nice catch there

As for packing things in strange boxes I tend to send lenses out in ice cream tubs - never had any damage yet...

I didn't even bother watching it, I gave in immediately assuming I couldn't afford it.
I'll relieve you of the Adaptall II PK/A mount, if you're going DA* Mike

Well I thought the PK/A mount, Screw mount, Filter and TC were worth around £80 on their own so thats what I bid .. hoping for a free lens

I guess that whenever someone says "will you accept a BIN price" they are expecting it to go for more in the auction. Twenty-five quid is taking the michael, however!

Glad you got such a bargain!

I was outbid for a Pentax copipod the other week, then got one this week for less than half the price I bid previously. It arrived today, in very nice nick.

Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Not sure yet as it's a cracking little lens, a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I already have the 72B version which is a proper 1:1 f2.8 but I like the thought of a small 90mm 1:2 quality prime.
Will have a play over the weekend and then decide.
Fancy a trade with your 1.7x TC then?

Quick snap with it this afternoon before it started raining.

Not on your life

I have given it run on my DA*300mm and as Aminstar says, it works a treat

You can download a poor quality 15 page PDF manual for the Copipod, but the original off Clarky will be much better. I bought one a few years ago off ebay, quite nice, but I've never found a use for it so far.
