Just goes to show how much difference a sensible listing makes. These large packages of stuff rarely make as much as selling the parts separately. There is a set of Pentax extension tubes going at the moment with a 135mm lens. The tubes are described as "mystery Pentax item... we don't know what these are for..."
Usually the sellers of these type of items fall prey to dealers. It's good to see hefty getting something and not loosing out to abroad.

All to often though the items are useless but not described as such, just 'I don't no aneefing bowt camras'.

As John has said in previous threads 'buyer beware'

Over the weekend the weather here in Bradford wasn't too bad.

Problem was I was working and DSLRs and motorbikes don't mix!!!

There's an OM version here at the moment, looks like it's a foreign dealer leading the bidding.

The one I pictured is mine which I got for around £5, three years ago.

It lives in my bag and makes a super little scope with a 135 lens.

I think we all would like to do that, and make a living from them...

Mine get looked at then cut to a shiny disc.

I lost a lot when a hard drive failed and aren't going to suffer like that again!

Even 50mm f1.7 have started going for high prices. the last couple I've watched have gone for over £30!

As for the monocular converter, is that the eye piece thing that sits on a manual lens turning it into a telescope?

Welcome to the forum, as hefty says your FA lenses will work with a digital body.

I have and use regularly, a 28-80 FA lens. It works fine on my K110 and K200

Why don't you take one of your lenses to your local Pentax dealer and ask to try it on a body? If they sense a sale they won't say no!

found what hardgravity,
Sorry, the required password to install the K10 utility which, unfortunately, doesn't work on the K200!

I've also found that thread Stefan, seems a common worry with the K200.

Finally it could well be worth contacting SRS and/or Pentax to see if they have anything.

Thanks for the help guys, I thought it was worth a shot. I'll just have to hope...
