Have you considered buying used? theres nothing much to go wrong with extension tubes and as theres no glass involved it doesn't really matter on the make.

I dont know if the Kenko ones you mention are Auto AF or just Auto, but I would have thought a good set of used "A" mount tubes would cost less than £40, and your going to want to focus manually anyway.

Grommit,

See if you can find an istD, its a superb little camera, the only thing against it compared to later models is the diminutive display screen.

Hello everybody, I've had a Pentax K100D Super since December 2007 and I subscribed to the magazine last February after seeing the website. I've been visiting the website regularly ever since and I've finally decided to join the community of Pentax users to share some of my photos and get information about photography in general and of course Pentax products.
Also, being French, this site is a good opportunity to practise my English…

Welcome to the forum Ben, we have a good mix of nationalities here so English might not be all you learn

I agree, the horizon needs attention.
Has the image been cropped on the right at all?

And this is beyond the photographers control of course; but I find those star trails a bit weird, like theres no consistency, they seem to be all over the place, even allowing for the distortion of the lens, and what about that spot in the centre? No doubt someone who is into lens mechanics will be along to explain.

I personally dont mind the same questions asked over and over, quite often new issues are raised during the replies and the original topic is expanded and covers issues that may not be discussed otherwise.

Scorpioni is right insofar as it helps newer members to integrate and become a part of the community, and it does keep the forum ticking over

Anyway, tell me again, whats that glass bit for that screws to the front of the camera?

Well saying as the K10D is virtually identical in size, shape and form, also in the layout of buttons and knobs this review makes the guys that made the K10D a Grand Prix winner sound like a bunch of ignorant fools, I guess these guys at PP must really know what their talking about (rolls on floor laughing and nearly chokes in fits of laughter)

I think not, we all know who the ignorant fools are
