I suggest you send an e-mail direct, since Kris is acting as an intermediary, as the seller does not use this forum.

When I was at the vendor's house, Pentax boxes were everywhere, so I would be surprised if it did not have the box.

Is it really worth 230GBP? I've got some serious LBA over this and though the guy who is selling them is out of stock, he will be getting more in soon.

A normal high quality TC goes for, what, 100 quid? This would give me full autofocus on all my manual lenses, but I'm worried about having a really bad case of buyers regret.

How much would you guys think this is worth?
Worth the money if that is what you want.

I paid that for a new Pentax 2X (manual).

Bear in mind that you still have to get the focus approximately right before the TC makes the final adjustments automatically.

Apparently they are being built from 'spare parts'.

Apologies to one and all - but I will not be submitting an entry for this competition.

I have run out of time to photograph any of my ideas

Am I correct in thinking that the subject matter is retro objects rather than items that just happen to be old photographed in a retro way :

George was always a stickler for correct grammar and spelling. He would enjoy this thread, and correct a few others where lens is misspelt.

He seems to only be lurking nowadays, after some heated discussions here.
George is busy refurbishing his new home (a boat) and I believe only has an intermittent broadband connection.

The UK now has a similar financial standing to Greece and Mike-P really has been selling lenses recently

Before I went out to shoot an entry for this competition I had a look at the "Dig For Victory" poster here.

Is it my imagination but could this be a one-legged man, or perhaps he has his boots on the wrong feet .

A very good point - a touch of wartime airbrushing in the name of art :

You would expect to see another leg

You might even want the k7 only for the sound the shutter make, it really is day and night compared with the K10D.
For me that is probably the last reason for changing a camera body
