Got myself new/used DA * 300/4 few days ago. Unfortunately weather was rubbish so I couldn't really try it. Today was first day when it picked up a litte so I went out with K 3II, Pentax 1.4 HD Converter and DA 300.
Now I just need to learn how to use it properly.

Few from the outing:

So even that I sold the Vivitar lens it's back now. Buyer noticed haze present on one of the elements inside which I genuinely didn't see before. Lens looks clear when looking straight through it but put a strong light at it and look at an angle and you can see the haze.

What do you guys think would be fair price for this lens and is it actually worth selling?

In fact that's not true. Put camera or lens in MF, press and hold back af button, press shutter release. CIF works, at least on my K3 II.

Tamron lens sold elsewhere.

PKA extension tubes still available.

Thanks for comments.
It's my home town and I know there's so much to see in that you need a week walking around with camera.
I went for a week only and not only weather was rubbish all the time, I also didn't have much time to walk around. I moved out of there 11 years ago and so much has changed since then. I've been visiting my family now and then but never had time to just go walk around for a day. Maybe next time.

So it's almost here. Anyone got any info what kind of deals to expect? I'd love last year price of DA 300/4 from SRS. I don't think it will go so low but I hope for some good deal to show up.

All from Wroclaw.

PKA Extension tubes:

Tamron 70-200/2.8. Good condition, I had it for about 5 years. Little bit of paint peeled off around collar and 1 bit of something stuck on the inside of front element on the edge. Can't see it doing any damage to photos. Everything works fine: aperture, zoom and autofocus. Comes with both original caps, lens hood and original soft case. 350GBP delivered.

Vivitar Series 1 105mm macro: Excellent condition, no marks on glass, no oil on blades. Everything works like it should. Comes with original front cap, generic back cap, original hard leather case. I'll throw in set of 3 PK extension tubes (without contacts). 180 GBP delivered.

Set of 3 PKA extension tubes (with contacts). For some reason very rare, couldn't find that many on ebay. Excellent condition, bit of paint scrapped off around contacts to make them work properly on Pentax DSLR. 60GBP delivered.

Payment by bank transfer or PayPal (gift or buyer adds fees). I'm open to reasonable offers.
Photos to follow in the morning.
