My hand me down Black Q (from the wife) with the 21mm on the Q/K adapter taken with her White Q + 5-15mm.

I'll use this today and the 35mm (plastic mount) to see just what it's capable of.

How are you funding the genuine Pentax adapter, do the numbers on it relate to f-stops?

I have to assume funding is finding. It's a fine piece of kit. See below for the explanation of the aperture ring.

If you open too far on a bright lens the shutter exceeds its limit and the speed displays in red so at the moment with the 70mm today it was happy at 2.5

Funding/finding, clearly a Freudian slip!

Given the price I think the u is appropriate.

At GBP150 it's not exactly cheap but it does the job and let's not forget it is chipped and not passive.

I order from the USA. As long as your total goods plus shipping charge is below AUS$1000 there is no import duty or tax.
