What condition was it in? I ordered the same from Currys who are part of the same group as PC World and Dixons. I tracked the parcel which went from Lincoln to my local DHL in less than 12 hrs, then it was held there going nowhere for five days until I went and collected it myself. When I got home I had a pretty nasty surprise. I unpacked the parcel to find a tatty box with a printed red label on it that read "box for display item" and another label stating "returned." The lens itself was marked, looked far from brand new and had no lens cap. I returned it via my nearest Currys for a refund and won't buy from them again.

You can get the M-OE53 from most Pentax Pro stockists like SRS in the UK. I use one on my K-5 to help handle some older MF lenses. Be aware that there is a tiny bit of vignetting in the extreme corners, I find it is the upper left and upper right but it may be different for others. I barely notice it now.

I believe the O-ME53 fits all Pentax Dslrs, it is really easy to fit, pull the eyecup up and off and replace with the magnified version, less than 2 min job.

Why do we have to clutter this forum with welcome messages, especially when the user being welcomed hasn't even logged in for some considerable time.

I almost exclusively use the 'New Posts' method of viewing posts and I find it very frustrating when another member has logged in purely to create a whole raft of welcome messages bringing old posts back into the new posts category.

A number of members only seem to login to post welcome messages by the bucket load.

My suggestion is to post welcome messages in the users gallery, thus removing them from otherwise interesting topics.

Another suggestion to those users that log in only to welcome newcomers is:- "Please log in more frequently and welcome fewer new users at one sitting", then we won't get so many old posts as new.

Rant over.

Personally I wouldn't dare try to sell photographic related items on a photography forum with pictures like those.
