It's already been through ebay several times

Possibly people have bought it and found that on delivery
it's not as good as it looks in the picture, so they put
it back on ebay

It's what's known as an "Auction Case"..... spends
all it's life passing through auctions just like
"Auction Cars" do....

Pixel peeping is OK comparing lenses, but not much use
comparing AA filter/No filter. If the image size is being
reduced later the software will often blur the image
(Gaussian Blur) before reducing anyway otherwise you get
problems with a moiré effect or an interference pattern.

You would have to look at A3 sized prints to see if there
is any difference.

A lot depends on where the lens is. Due to the Pound/Euro.
From the UK will be more expensive.

"Full AF operation with Teleplus K1.5 is possible with camera
lenses with open aperture of F4 or brighter. "


He already knows that this doesn't apply to SDM lenses
and advises anyone purchasing one and no doubt has also
done a few refunds. Just one of those things that he
hasn't got round to.

Hi Kris,
yes I know, but just couple of days ago one of them was sold on ebay for £141.98 which is decent price. I don't think anybody will suggest me such price here, though.
That was cheap I paid £167 for one on this forum last year.

That's the wrong photo and probably wrong description.
The Pentax one is unlikely to have any Gate Array IC
inside. It won't work with SDM. OK with screw drive.

The older Tamron ones work with SDM.

Performance should be quite good. The same TC is sold
under different brands.
