Very clear photos and they show the colours of the fox so well

Ay least the Pentax 1.4x-S lets you set the focal length, even
though it's manual focus. Most TC's fix it at 300mm or whatever.

The Kenko 1.5x TC's seem OK with the 55-300mm as well.

This was a close up shot taken with the
K-5 + Pentax DA 55-300mm + Pentax 1.4x-S TC

400ISO FL =300mm (x1.4) 1/400th at f/9

Not cropped and hardly any PP just a bit of sharpening.

I'd had a 28mm lens on prior to this and the SR was
still set WRONG at 28mm which will have softened the
shot slightly.

They don't forbid cash and openly mention cash on collection
as acceptable. They don't allow the seller to solicit the
mailing of cash.

I pointed out that the 600mm lens seller is contravening this:

Misleading & Discouraging Payments

Sellers who state in their listing that they accept certain payment methods must not selectively offer those payment methods to buyers or discourage buyers from using those payment methods.


This is the accepted payments page:

The 600mm Lens seller is also asking for payment by cheque, which is
against ebay rules, although he isn't allowed to refuse Paypal.

Ebay traders don't you just love em'

There's been a 600mm f/5.6 on ebay for a few days now for £2,000
I'm surprised that non of the people who complain about the shortage
of Pentax long glass haven't snapped it up

SMC PENTAX -A * 600mm f5.6 ED IF

Edit: Seems it is the A Series.... I thought it was FA
So I've no idea what it's worth.

I never realised it was so nice around Whitehaven.
All good but I really like the buildings on the first.
