Or - you could get an F series 1.7xAF adapter and put (either) an A series 50mm or an A series 100mm on the front of it and get the best of both. I can recommend it. It works a treat and it's highly flexible for other 'old' glass too with slight modifications (10mm of SA copper tape).
my current plan is to use a TC (I have the 1.7x, a Kenko 1.5x, and recently acquired the HD 1.4x) along with the Tamron 90mm macro that I already have.
No idea when I will actually get around to trying these

Did not expect "Home Hardware / Fixtures and Fittings" to be such rarely photographed items
But this week has had lovely Gallery submissions

There is a Sigma 5.6 o. eBay - £99 last time I looked.

Spotted the ads (Vivitar 90-180, Sigma f/3.5). Did not expect them to be in that price range
Hope there is a Sigma f/5.6 for me somewhere
Another challenge is that I cannot make use of the 14-day return.
Would thus prefer buying from a forum member, or if the seller is 'recommended'

Agree with previous comments; used market is very slow; not many buyers, and a bit of a pseudo traffic jam situation as well.
Maybe Park Cameras can give you their pricing... and you could start by posting them here.
Please retain a few of your "must have" bodies and lenses!
Best wishes!

how about staying and not missing the Pentax vibes.... by culling down significantly; maybe keep a body and few of your "must have" lenses
maybe for a year...
best wishes!
