Was going through stuff earlier and found this, not of any use to me anymore and not sure about the price either. Google brought me to ebay which has got one listed BIN for £15. To be honest, I'm completely unsure about the price since I don't remember how much I paid for it.
So I guess I'll just do £10 posted. It's got all the original wrapping, box etc.

Bought this a while ago when I was being far too curious. But I'll admit that I don't really have a clue about how to use this.
It mounts onto the camera and one can adjust the magnification to copy slide film (Or perhaps negatives?)
On a film camera or 35mm FF DSLR it'll copy the film to a 1:1 ratio, but on cropped framed sensors the edges of the photo will be lost. I have thought about extending the distance between the photo and sensor so it'll be right but haven't quite got round to do it and can't afford the time now. It comes with its original box but it's a bit tatty.

It's a T2 mount so you'll have to get a cheap adapter for it to work on your camera. If you buy the duplicator I'll also be happy to sell my T2 to PK one for how much I got it for, which is £5 posted
The slide duplicator I'm asking for £10+2 postage.
I'll put some pics up later.

I have the 10-17mm too, highly recommend it.
I'm nowhere near as good as the other chaps here but I've just been out with it a few days ago and had some interesting things.
A few pics here (Excuse my post-editing, I was playing with presets.)

Apart from the last one the other two haven't been cropped, none of them have been defished either. If you get the lines right, sometimes the fisheye effect is not seen and it works like a ultra wide zoom! (well, it is in a sense)
Oh, and it's impossible to get bored of it!

Thanks, I can't really compare it to other longer or shorter lenses. But I guess 55mm or anything shorter would be really good for objects that stay still (discount the wind factor). If I were trying to shoot a bug with huge eyes I think I'll struggle without tubes.
All in all a very good working distance although I had some problems trying to view the viewfinder when I set the tripod at its tallest (Needed a stool!)
I should've mentioned I struggled to get an accurate shot without a tripod, or at least some kind of leaning support.

So having acquired a Vivitar 55mm f2.8 Macro from a fellow forum member, I couldn't resist to go into the tiny backgarden for a few snaps. I've cropped a few things and did the usual adjustments. C&C welcome

I've got a slight problem, that I can't open any videos taken by the K5 on my laptop, the player seems to say I'm missing a codec, wondering what software do you guys use to open videos from the K5, or is there a codec pack for it??

Thanks!
