Following on from a couple of other threads I've started for the cause of selling old unwanted Pentax and Pentax-compatible equipment, and also with the advice of several members in mind, I have the following for sale:

One Vivitar MC Tele Converter 2X PK-A/R-PK.

Little used, with hard leather case, in excellent condition.

Will post to the first person to offer £20 (this price includes postage within the UK). If you are resident in another country, then please contact me and we can discuss options.

That's a nice shot of the moon, Reuben.

Yes, I'm going to keep my eye on the Super A price.

I think the MX starting at £30 is safe enough...

Thanks anyway. I reckon if I left it another year, it wouldn't sell at all! My local camera shop don't even give a value in part-ex and they used to be very good like that.

Right!

This time, the MX and Super A bodies are back on Ebay without the silly reserve prices.

MX body (bidding from £30)

Super A body (bidding from £25)

In case anyone is still interested...

Boo hoo. My lovely camera bodies didn't make their reserve. I honestly expected the MX to get £50, perhaps not the Super A.

Hmmm. Not sold on Ebay for a while, the ME Winder 2 went for only a couple of quid.

Check the updated prices of the flashguns.

Oops. Been told off now...

My apologies if any offence was taken; it was certainly not meant. I have this view in life that if you are trying to get someone (or people) to undertake dealings with you, then offending them at the outset is not the best thing to do.

I do have other Pentax equipment to sell, and will take on board your suggestion(s) that a firm price is to be asked (plus postage) first.

Unfortunately, without a strict auction theme in this forum, it does make this kind of selling quite complicated (and prone to this kind of reaction from interested parties). I just went with the first offer that was to my liking. I don't really want to rock the boat here by acting as an auctioneer.

Again, sincere apologies to all, and specially to Sdeve - his offer was indeed serious, but the postage price (not to keep beating on about it) would have taken more of a chunk from it than I was prepared to accept.

The person interested in this set has sent me a cheque, and unless something goes wrong during clearing (which I highly doubt as I have dealt before with them) then I am afraid that this item is sold.

Now dealing with someone serious.

I have sold things on this forum recently, and without the normal "Ebay protection" (from which both buyer and seller benefit) I must provide a tracking service and insurance. This means that I will be using Royal Mail Special Delivery, at a cost of £6.40.

Any offers to buy this adapter set should reflect this, I can stand the Paypal fee (a decent chap, that's me ).

If a revised offer is forthcoming, perhaps I can do business with whoever is serious about this.

I bought the set new on a whim some years ago from Jessops in Newcastle, probably took 3 slide films with it and that's all the use it has had. It is (with the exception of the box) in mint condition.

I've moved into digital photography and have recently been selling Pentax items, some of which were to people on this forum. There are some items on Ebay at the moment, as you will see from my other thread in this forum.

Anyway, I've got a Pentax Stereo Adapter Set 30348 49mm, which comprises the adapter to fit to the 49mm filter thread on the end of a lens (nominally a 50mm standard for its angle of view) and the viewer which is used to view the slides of the double image.

The set requires the use of slide film, and each slide will contain two images that are approximately the same distance apart as your eyes. When this slide is placed into the viewer and viewed, the image will appear in stereo (3D).

I've used it a little, but it is in great shape, the box slightly scuffed but otherwise ok.

Anyone interested? The set for £50? Make me an offer.

Here's a link to a page showing how to achieve sharp focus.

Macro work is best done using a tripod and focussing manually if possible. Of course, some subjects such as insects will not necessarily sit about patiently while you set up, but you can always set up on a flower and wait patiently for the insect to walk on stage...
