How about a 1.7x AF converter? The way they've been selling lately, I reckon that should about cover it. Offers anybody?
Actually it's the 1.7xAF that I have. Mint (with only slight evidence that it's been used), and boxed
And I agree, Daniel - the way they've been selling gives me high hopes............................

So, Matt what is a Pentax 1.7 AF converter worth ?

Competition # 30 “One of My Best Photos”.

32-Hyram_ The third fish-eye image of the comp and also DA 10-17mm! I am curious (and sure others are) about the shot settings. Mounted the beautiful image in PS I see in the File Info that the aperture was f/3.5; the ISO 400 and of course the focal length at 10mm, but don´t say nothing about the exposure time..............................
Great judging Dirk and congratulations to Gwyn.

The answer to your question is 1.5 seconds and the shutter button was pressed by hand as I had not been able to purchase a remote control for the camera !

I now have two.

Not a best, they are all on slide film stored away in a dark cupboard, but I was quite pleased with how this one turned out.

Park Cameras list the DL150 for use in both the K10D and the K20D (at the huge saving of £0.99).

Found this link for the KM NP 400 battery we have been discussing.

http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_3&products_id=992...

Anyway I have now ordered at a amazing price of £4.99 + postage.
I bought two from 7 Day Shop last year.

Absolutely fine and a truly amazing price.

I recently upgraded to Elements 6 (from PE4) and am very impressed with it..........................
I bought PS Elements 5 last year and it seems to do almost everything that the full blown version of PS in the office does.

Not quite that clear cut....................

I agree.

Last year I bought something for my boat from the USA and the only reason I purchased it from the USA was because it was not available from anyone in Europe.

By the time duty had been added and VAT on the product cost (with the duty) had been added and VAT on the delivery charge had been added and I had paid Royal Mail their special charge, the costs had increased enormously.

Apologies to George for the overuse of the word 'and' in the previous sentence but that is how it feels as duty is added to duty.

I agree that if I happened to be in the USA, I would take the opportunity to buy something photographic but otherwise, I don't think so.

I shall stick with Chris @ SRS, even though I live nowhere near Watford.

If you would probably end up buying it from Chris at SRS, can I wholeheartedly recommend that you do just that.............................
I took the advice from this forum and recently bought a Metz 58 from Chris.

I ordered it one day and it arrived the following day

The Metz seems very versatile and is well priced @ SRS

My two JJC remotes arrived this morning and they work fine.

I can see why the infra-red ones get lost

As I still have not been able to buy the Pentax version (as rare as hen's teeth), I have decided to order one of each.

At less than half the price for the Pentax version, it seems a good deal.
