If you read through the comments and questions, it sounds as though they will be getting more. And they state that "Pentax make them to order"
So, could Pentax UK get some too?

Looking at your list of kit,the only lens worth using a converter on would be your DA*55 1.4,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,The rest being telephoto's ,image quality takes a dive when you mix tele's with converters!........

I think you mean zooms? Most people use a TC with a telephoto prime.

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

Can't believe someone (from the UK) paid £257 for one of these last night on ebay link
The Adapter didn't have and endcap (std. body cap) and because the elements are floating they could easily get damaged. The seller had a feedback of only 14
Seems like Pentax need to get this back in production and make
a few bob
Note this is an Adapter not a Converter.... It won't work on
a manual camera. (needs AF to Focus).

Well the other one did go for £240 anyway if I am not mistaken, that's roughly the going price, around £200

Hi Amin, The one I sold you was mint. This one wasn't mint and hadn't been protected by a body cap so the floating elements inside could be scratched or damaged. Also the price keeps going up on these that's £220, £240, and £257 on ebay auctions. Makes the £10 you got mine for sound like a bargain shim wrote:

Good news on that camera, it looks like a certain large company are about to buckle in order to avoid a lot of bad publicity and possible class action suite and refund everybody. I've been promised 3-4 days for mine.
