Some joke prices out there!

I know getting the right Pentax lens at a bargain price is tricky but it is getting silly. There are some nice Tamron Adaptall legacy lenses out there that were once a bargain. I've just seen the PKA Adaptall mount on Ebay BIN for £73 !! Now a decent one of the Adaptall range will probably cost, say £60 or more so you are paying nearly £150 for an old manual focus lens. Surely that can be matched by a legacy Pentax lens with auto aperture function. The manual Adaptall mount is more reasonable at around £15 and the only difference really is that you have to stop down with the green button.
The world's gone mad!

When it opens with the "unable to find page" error, scroll to the end of the address bar and delete the excess full stop after the html bit. It'll work then.

Interesting mod but I won't be rushing to fiddle about with my K-m, it looks to have a high risk of bricking the camera IMO. I've had enough trouble trying to get all the tiny springs and pins back in the right places while putting a lens back together, let alone the presumably similar problems on the body!
