I remember someone on a forum mentioning an electrical retailer
that had loads of uncontested claims against them that they had
just paid up on
Good Luck!

The Pepper St shot is actually a composit of six 30second shots - I manually chose my favourite sections of car trails from each of the six.

Pentax PKA fit Triplus (probably Tamron) Pz-AF Extension Tubes
Very well made and have all the contacts, so no need to
sand anything off like on the cheaper ones. AF doesn't
work though (no screwdrive).
A set sold recently for £98.50 (posted) on ebay.

I'm currently considering if I should sell mine

telephoto. Your better off with a 1.4 to 1.7x
for telephoto. Which lens is it for?

made and it's ludicrous that they are being sold so cheap
nowadays. It's also got the A setting.
I've never used the 50mm f/1.4 Chinon, but the earlier 55mm one
(which I have a couple of) is a legend with superb bokeh.
I doubt if you'd get much more than £40 for the 50mm.

in anything other than the type of shots that they will be used
for. A prime might be better at 1M but if the zoom is normally
used for landscapes it doesn't matter as long as it's very
close on a landscape shot.

You can see where the focus is better.
This was a quick test with the Chinon 50mm f/1.9 which isn't
consistent with the point in focus. It should be at 100mm and
the box looks in focus, but the ruler indicates about 80mm
The Brita box is a good test because it has a lot of fine
detail plus the dots from the print screen.

An improvement not possible with in lens SR which goes
back to the film era.
