They seems as rare as hen's teeth these days. I think they all seem to be in private hands these days. Good luck with the search.

I have one and I use it very rarely so I would consider selling it, but what price for that item could I get? (I use it with Tamron CF Tele Macro 80-210 mm F/3.8-4, could you also estimate what would be the price tag on that?)

To be honest I have seen them go for up to £100, purely for the adapter, on ebay, the Tamron lens for up to £20 with no adapter. I have a generic PK adapter for my 70-210, 35-70 and 28mm lenses, but it would be nice to get the full use of them as I use them with m42 and C/Y cameras already. I was hoping to pay about £30-40 so my advice would be to stick it on ebay you should get good money for the two.

PK mounts got for £10-20 on ebay, PKAs for about £50-60.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I think I gave someone on here (I forget who) £60 for my PKA mount, and consider that I paid about the going rate.
They are one item which only seems to get more expensive.

That was me. I think I could have got a little more for it on ebay, but I was happy to pass it on to a deserving P.U. I think I gave someone on here (I forget who) £60 for my PKA mount, and consider that I paid about the going rate.

The Pentax 1.7x AF converter is in a similar position price-wise (at least it was when I sold mine), in that they're around £200 now, but only £70 two or three years ago.
Luckily I bought both the AD2 mount and the converter at the right times.

now THAT was a bargain, you could legitimately charge that much for either the mount or the lens!

Yes, when I bought the lens (Ebay) I didn't realize the PK/A adapter was included .. there was no mention of it at all.
