I guess if you like using manual lenses its a good buy. You will also need an adapter to if you plan on using them on your new K100D/K10
I had an old spottie and a couple of lenses given to me when i first got my K100D. Haven't purchased the adapter as yet.

Dan I e-mailed that store in regards to stock and the 4 lenses i enquired about were all out of stock. I have a feeling they ship from off shore, most likely Malaysia.

Thanks guys i will just keep my eyes open and hope i get lucky.
What annoys me when i walk into a camera store in Aust and ask for a price on a lens they all say the same thing $800 £350 or there abouts no matter what the brand. I think we Aussies are getting the rough end of the stick, we are last to get any new releases and are slugged at premium prices

Thats what i am trying to do George but they are very scarce in Aust. I have seen several on E-bay in the UK and the US so i think i will be buying from you guys. And your prices are lot more reasonable. I have come to the conclusion that you must have rocks in your head to buy lenses in retail stores in Australia, the prices are outrageously expensive.
So all my lens purchases will be international from now on.

If i want to buy the Sigma or the Pentax they retail here in Aust for around £350 very expensive, and they never come up on E-bay, I guess people don't want to part with them.
So you recommend the Sigma over the Pentax

Does anyone have a Pentax 100mm macro F or better or a Sigma 105mm FA or better they would be willing to sell as i am interested in getting my hands on one of them.
I would pay all shipping to costs to Australia Thanks.

Well today I ran another Macro workshop, and the news was even better. These were the scores today:
Canon: 1
Nikon: 1
Minolta: 3
Pentax: 3
Yes, today there were three Pentax users (K10D, K100D and a DS), three Minoltas (7D and 5D), a Nikon D50 and a Canon 400D.
First time I've seen so few Canons, and it put a big smile on my face all day that there were so many Pentaxes about. Soon, we will rule the World!

Do you maybe show a little favourtism to the Pentaxians as opposed to the others.

Has anyone seen or used one of these before. My eyes are not as good as they once were and wonder if this would help. Thanks
