Arm and leg still here Derek, no snappers yet. Anyone want to loan me a K3 to try it out on?

PM replied, thanks Andy. Lens still available.

The famous Pentax teleconverter and Autofocus adapter. Not only will it provide 1.7x magnification (with a 1.5 stop light loss), it has the party trick of turning manual focus lenses into a semi-autofocus combo (set the MF approximately and the converter will lock focus for you). More info here.

Excellent condition optically and cosmetically. Didn't do too well with my modern Tamron 70-200 2.8 but is great with the M50/1.7 and M135/3.5.

Genuine front and rear caps, no pouch or box.
£175 inc RMSD in UK.

A very well regarded and much sought after lens, not too common in K mount. It took me over two years to find a good example and wasn't cheap.

Condition is excellent, optics and mechanics as they should be. Required in-camera adjustment for backfocus on my K5 so make sure your body has that feature. Cosmetically very good, tripod ring is free from damage but the notorious Sigma barrel coating is beginning to come away in one place as shown.

Boxed with paperwork, carry case, strap and of course lens hood. Pics below with links to larger versions for your inspection.

Photos from my previous advert here, I now have this lens in 'a.n. other' mount so it has been sat in the box since and condition remains unchanged.

£660 inc. courier. UK only at this point, thanks.

All enquiries dealt with in order of receipt.

I've used this chap for an Oly m4/3 camera leather and can confirm everything Gartmore has said, great service and quality.

Speaking as someone with a K5 and D700, this pretty much mirrors my thoughts on the matter. It's the tracking ability rather than speed of initial acquisition that makes the most difference. You just trust the D700 will nail AF, allowing you to concentrate on framing and timing.

The new system in the K3 looks a healthy step in the right direction and I hope to try one out before too long, seeing as I managed to keep hold of my K mount Sigma 100-300

Zero interest so far, being skipped at the end of the week.

Well worth the asking price for those with A3 scanners and a load of old family photos...

Found in a clearout at work and free to a good home, ideal for digitising your analogue Pentax collection.

Set of four plastic frames to hold differing film sizes for A3 scanner. As far as I can tell these are complete, new and unused in box. I've searched for the part numbers online with no joy.

1 of '35mm Filmstrip Holder'
1 of '35mm Batch Slide Holder'
1 of '6x9 Batch Film Holder'
1 of 'Universal Glass Film Holder'

Collection from North Manchester ideal, may be able to arrange courier at cost (and own risk). Will add sample pic when I get in from work.

Taken from the Castillo de Santa Barbara, which dominates many aspects of this small city. Decided to make things tricky for myself with an exposure bracketed handheld panorama. 13x3 pics made this:

Shot September 2011 with K5 and ageing Sigma 18-50 at the wide end and f8. Exposures merged in Oloneo Photoengine and stitched in Photoshop. Way more work than was enjoyable but good to push personal boundaries and it does print nicely at 40". Not sure why I've sat on this for so long without sharing, hope you enjoy it anyway.
