Got mine for £35 in a Warehouse Express clearance, that's a ridiculous price.

I got one with an SFX kit I picked up on E-bay which included 2 smc f series lenses 70-210 and 35-70 a bag and a sigma flash for 80quid.
When i took off the top cap it was apparent it was for a Nikon. That would explain why it looked so new and why it wasn't mentioned in the listing
Put it back on E-Bay and got 35 quid for it.
Not sure if it was an MC4 though

Then......the seller of this one is going to be happy also.
Martin.
PS, Pentax should hurry up with those SDM converters. Seems they let slip a lot of money. Hope they don't follow evil bay. Otherwise they probably double the intended price, without a blink of their eyes.

Yes but the MC4 version will work with the K20D and SDM lenses whereas the previous model will not.
I may actually keep mine as I am waiting for the 60-250mm, it may be quite a good match.

Just to twist off line a little
I have a Kenko teleplus 2X MC7 - same contact layout so hopefully for future upgrades maybe I'm ready?
(It cost £29 from local LCE)
returning to original post: proves again some people have more money than sense. I know this hobby/life can be an obsession but!!!
I'd love a 1.7af for the mirror 'cos it's a pig to get a perfect "still" focus with a 2x, moving - forget it!
It will be found - one day.

...and the country is supposed to be heading for a recession, where do people get the money from?
I was watching this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140254144195
CZJ Flektogon 35/2.4 with fungus and oil on the blades. I have a Flek (and love it) but the focussing is a bit stiff and the filter thread is knackered so I was hoping to get a spares Flek and swap the body over. But not for 58 quid I won't!
