I think that was the gold one

You mean you sent me a substandard one :
K5 + 8mm-500mm zooms and primes
Please feel free to play with any images I post.

If anyone else is after one, then there is one currently on ebay (don't know if links are allowed) as part of an SF7 kit

Sent the shop an email asking if they would post overseas if you paid the postage also. Thats how I got my car alloys

I could try that but have seen in other places that pentax teleconverters are now a banned import to EU and North America because they contain a small amount of radioactive material

Consequently japanese shops 'follow orders' and won't send it to UK

They would send it to Singapore OR HOW ABOUT AUSSIE (if anybody is listening there)

Hi Gareth - Will try tonight - as you say no harm in trying. If it works I want a commission on every copy I get - place your orders here

I'm watching that also, was hoping no one saw it
I think it'll go for rich money judging by the questions asked and also as it has on it a Pentax-F 50mm f1.4

See the top question at the foot of the auction page, thats mine.......want a cheap camera for the wife, whats your buy it now price

Ha ha - me too.

Reading the Q&A, there are quite a few people out there hoping to pick up a 1.7 converter at a knockdown price
