That would also have been my advice. But if you are ever in the lucky position of acquiring any accessories, please be aware of: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/112168-there-two-s...

Please note that in my favourite German Pentax forum someone is looking for the hood for several months or even years now (he even once promised to pay as much as 250€!). It is no longer available from Pentax (not even from Japan). It also seems that there are two different versions, which may not be compatible (mount). One alternative would be the metal screw-in hood of the A* 85.

Of course, it depends on the price. Some reading material on the topic:

By the way, e.g. Truesense Imaging (formerly Kodak, producer of the M 9 / M M sensors) offers sensor options including "microlens availability, and color or monochrome selection": http://www.kodak.com/ek/US/en/Image_Sensor_Solutions/Products/Full_Frame_CCD.htm

This is a pointless thread? OK, then I sincerely want to thank all sellers, which are not considering deals outside the UK ... not really ...

I have previously asked the seller about some details. E.g. "Obviously, the title and the picture have been copied from this auction: ebay www.ebay.com/itm/SMC-PENTAX-A-600mm-f5-6-ED-IF-super-telephoto-lens-499-/2610155... . Could you insert some images of the actual item?" (US $3000, japan-fuji-3776)

Still got no answer .. Be careful!

Maybe, I should just move to the UK . On the other hand, the UK is a member of the EU, isn't it ?
