As it says in the title - a set of Pentax extension tubes in fabulous condition, plus the original leather (velvet lined) case in decent condition. The tubes are almost as new.

The set represents a very cheap entry to macro photography - and with no optics involved, image quality is as high as you can get without buying a dedicated macro lens. The tubes function in a similar way to SMCM lenses, so you need to use the green button or stop down metering to judge exposure. Also best used with lenses that have an aperture ring - not such a good option with DA kit zooms, for example.

Price is £25 including RM Recorded Delivery within the UK.
