I have too many sets of extension tubes so sadly I am letting the best of these go.
Hardly used in MINT Condition complete with box (which is a bit scuffed) and
instruction leaflet containing magnification ratios etc.
Complete with original mint body and rear cap.
Original end cap is stamped TAMRON : MADE IN JAPAN
Beautifully made set of extension tubes. Very touch feely.
This set is very rare having a complete set of 8 contacts for Pentax KA
most sets usually have only 6 contacts and you have to scrape the paint
off from the bodies of all three tubes for them to work. These work
perfectly out of the box.
There were reports on here LINK about the scraped tubes not working
with the Pentax DA 35mm f/2.4 lens and the same combination
being very stiff. These tubes fit the Pentax DA 35mm f/2.4
lens like a glove and the electrical contacts are perfect
and the combination works well.
Note the electrical contacts need to not only allow you to adjust the aperture
they also have to supply the camera metering with the maximum aperture of
the fitted lens.... f/1.4, f/1.7, f/2.4 etc. This set does that.
No auto focusing (AF) is available with this set. Use MF Green Hex., beep etc.
Payment by Bank Transfer or Paypal with buyer paying any fees.
PRICE £85 inc. RMND (Mid-day) postage.
SRS have sold these (used) on ebay for £120+ and a set went last week for
£101.60 (inc. post) EBAY_LINK
Also on ebay this set which look the same went for £105
EBAY_LINK Note they all say AF but non of them
are.
Photos to follow....

of £69.99 which is around what they sell for now. Not bad
considering that they are no longer made.

Here's a funny video of Simon Cowell's latest dancing sensation
discovered in Wigan Town Centre.......
They pull people up for taking photos, but dancing is OK

It looks good, but 80m is a bit far... holding the lenses
steady becomes a problem. It will also perform better in terms
of contrast in poor light than the other one and PF is almost
non-existent with it.
I don't know if you saw this thread of samples or not....
pentaxforums_55-300mm
...and for people who say it won't work with a TC,
although I wouldn't recommend the Kenko 1.5x the
Jessop 1.7x or for MF the Pentax 1.4X-S is better..

645D seems specialist to studio type work with a limited ISO range while the D800, is well a high end FF DSLR for a wider range of uses with a higher ISO.
have plenty shoe leather, cereal and solar panels to charge
the batteries you can spend days with it at -11degC
