I do, I'll give you £3.46 for it right now

There was a number of these that surfaced some time ago and were sold as new stock, can't remember them going for this sort of money though.

No doubt the listing will have a very high watch count, with several being from this forum

I saw that as well. Glad the adapter was good in the end it did look a bit dodgy and the seller only had a feedback of 5, 3 of which were for sales and obviously why no one wanted to risk bidding a large amount. Worth the risk I suppose considering the saving in the end

They were being sold on this forum for £250+ not long ago. They are a good TC that actually works with most lenses, which isn't the case with the Tamron/Kenko alternatives. I've got a Tamron 2x that works with the Sigma 150-500mm but not with the DA*300mm. Can't figure out why because it's got 7 contacts either side + Pz contacts Possibly something isn't touching.

Only 5 feedback, but included a ltd from sometime ago on which he received positive feedback. And then didn't follow that up quickly with the adaptor.Suggesting he was perhaps an actual Pentax user. Took a considered risk
