Time too sell off some of my less used Kit, items are in Australia

Pentax DA 15mm f4, as new, only used a handfull of times, I find the versatility of my DA12-24 more to my liking. Includes everything you get with it from new. Looking for AU$600 (approx £380)+ postage, Price is firm on this.

Pentax DA 10-17mm Fisheye, Excellent condition comes with original caps and soft pouch, No box though. Looking for AU$450 (approx £270)+ postage, Price is firm on this.

Pentax SMC A24mm f2.8, I have 2 of these for sale, First one is in excellent condition, I can't find a mark on the body anywhere, maybe a few insignificant scuff marks on the front cap is all, Glass is spotless and aperture crisp and snappy, Comes with original caps and an original Pentax hardcase also in excellent condition, Looking for AU$280 (approx £170)+ postage.

Second one is not so pristine, glass looks clean but I can see some internal dust particles, rear element has 3 tiny marks but I can't tell if they are internal or external, They don't affect the image in any way. Has a small chip on the edge of the filter ring and it looks like the previous owner tried to open it up and made a real hack of the rear element locking ring, quite badly scratched. I have done some side by side pics with this one and the good one and can't say it has any detrimental affect on the IQ. Comes with original caps, but no case. Looking for AU$100 (approx £60)+ postage.

Brand new, never used, Original Pentax K Adapter, comes with original packaging and documentation Looking for AU$60 (approx £35) free postage.

Pentax K mount-52mm reverse adapter, Not really sure if its an original pentax accessory, but quality appears good, made of aluminium, comes with Pentax packaging and documentation. Looking for AU$25 (approx £15)Free postage

Paypal gift only for international buyers, Bank deposit for Aussie buyers.
If you are interested let me know if you want insurance on the postage,

I have sold items to a number of forum members in the past and never had any problems,

I have some other gear to go as well but will wait and see what happens with this gear. It will all go too e-bay if I get no takers.
Post questions here or PM me if interested. cheers

It's the standard SFX/SFXn grip. Pentax offered a slightly larger one to take 4 AAs as an optional extra, so it looks as though someone put the original grip in the box from the AA one and never swapped them back.

I have both and can take some photos of the SFX with the AA grip fitted if desired, it makes the grip about 3-4mm wider.
I have both also and thought they were the same size, after reading your post I checked it, and of course, you are right.

I have one Kris. It's for the SFX as Steve says and allows you to use the 2CR5 batteries instead of AA's, it doesn't make the camera any larger, its just a different battery compartment.

I have a number of these adapters three are genuine I believe and 2 are non genuine, the genuine ones work well and the non genuine ones are rubbish

I didn't pay anywhere 60quid for mine thats a ridiculous price.

Here are some pics of adapters I have

Genuine and works very well

Genuine I believe and works equally as well

Chinese fake avoid this one, very difficult too remove
[IMG]http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x261/ClarkyinAus/M42chinese.jpg[/IMG]

obvious fake, very tight fit and the chrome flakes off into your camera.

There are probably dozens more in the market, some good, most not so good.

We should start a database and post pics of the good ones and the ones to avoid.

Clarky - Parramatta bit of a trek from here and as already posted, tomorrow I'm inked in to go over to Moorebank.

Current prospects are I'm (oops "we're" - have the BOSS with me ) stuck here until next Saturday late pm. So a mid week liason at Circ Quay is a runner if it works for you (and any other PU user in Sydney - resident or refugee like me).


Steve
Sorry Steve but mid week is out of the question, just too busy at work.

Hrm, well since you got some other great stuff with them ... I'll buy the TC off you for 120GBP which means you can keep the rest of the stuff for free!
Sorry mate, but it must have been over a year ago I got these, and they are long gone, The only pieces I kept are the Pentax Flash and one of the TCs,

I am pretty sure I made my money back and them some, so the TC I own was basically a freebie. The extra TC I sold for 210quid if memory serves me right.

Thanks for the tip Hyram, must start bidding on job lots of cars

Just keep browsing Ebay and you will get lucky, I managed to snare 2 of them for almost nothing, people include them in thier old film kits and don't realise what they are worth.
I paid around 120quid for each of these kits and as you can see they both included the Pentax 1.7x TC

The only Iphone photography app I have tried was just out of curiosity and it allowes you too cartoonify your photos, nifty gadget.

I also downloaded a photography audiobook, I think it was called the F-spot, it gave me something to listen too on a recent flight.

I will also rent and download a movie if one takes my fancy, it sure helps too kill time at airports and such.
