There are very reliable battery manufacturers and very reliable retailers selling them. They are probably very profitable items for camera manufacturers, so no wonder they want to protect their sales.

But i cannot see how moves that limit competition can be good for consumers?

I have for sale my Sigma 2X EX DG APO teleconverter in excellent conditions. I am selling it as I do not any longer have the Sigma 100-300 f4 with which I used it.

It comes with front and rear caps, one original, the other not.

I had this for sale on a previous post, but thought it would be clearer if I started a new clean one only for this.

I am looking for 125 euros, plus 12 euros shipment to EU countries

Some pictures of the converter:

It's very simple really If I use a Pentax lens on a Sony body does that stop me then being a Pentax user???

Likewise if I use a Sigma lens on a Pentax body does that make me a Sigma or a Pentax user???

So is it the camera body that makes you a Pentax user or the lens, as it cannot be the sensor as then we will be back to square one as all Sony users
Maybe Ricoh could have a Pentax rebadged A7 with a full-featured lens adapter that would allow for AF and metering with Pentax lenses….. Imagine…

If you want to discuss forum policy, by all means drop me a PM and I'll explain it in more detail.

It wouldn't be quite right to say that giofi, but this isn't the place for it. By all means drop me a PM.
John,

I understand the Forum policy, fair enough.

But as we are not allowed to discuss other makes, we should also avoid comparing Pentax cameras to others, as facts cannot be shown.

It is a recurring phenomenon on this forum that the latest Pentax model is always the best camera on the market and it can only be improved by the next Pentax model. I wonder what will happen when/if Pentax will release a FF camera…. we will still say that it is not a worthwhile upgrade?

Better to buy a K-3, which is a superb camera and which out-resolves most FF cameras anyway.
John, although this is a Pentax forum, I think it would be fair to give factual comments. Wouldn't it be right to say that the K-3 out-resolves some FF cameras, and certainly not the ones discussed in this thread!

Here a comparison

Can someone explain the procedure/pitfalls of going somewhere cheap like USA or (you tell me), buying something, throwing away the packaging, using it on your hols and just bringing it home?
Or maybe getting someone who lives there to bring it back next time they come home to their family?
You have a duty free allowance when traveling from a non-EU country to the EU. I believe in the UK is £390. So if you bought goods up to that amount you would not have to pay duties or taxes.
