If it is the one you saw in the 'other' Pentax site, well guess who got it?
Yours truly and I can't wait to try it with my A*300
Good luck 'elvisboy'.

Hi Ken, did it not play well with the DA*300? I keep considering buying one, but they do fetch a good price.

TIA,

John

What's the going rate for one now?

Have been thinking about selling mine as I rarely use it these days.

Mine flew out @ £260 last week.
One went on ebay a couple of weeks ago for £270 ish.
A fellow forum member sold one for £300 as a BIN last year.
Seen others go for less.
