As far as I understand you'll need firmware v1.30 or later to use the electronic shutter and enable it in the menu.

Guess so, it depends on how your composing the shot, in the viewfinder or on the screen as either way the mirror is up. If you wish to compose the shot in the viewfinder though it wouldn't really be alternative in practical terms.

It was apparently $170, Sears and others had them listed at one time.

As Pentax did toy lenses themselves, perhaps there wasn't much demand for this one.

If it had been avaiable, you might have been able to get it from here

Pretty sure it was dated April in the exif. It was super and I gave it a 'like'. If it hadn't have been valid I'd have blacklisted it for later comment if need be!

I'll second andymat's observation and comments to prevent him thinking he's going mad!

If it's a scam you'd think they'd under-price it rather than scare off anyone who might be interested. Perhaps they gold plate on request!

Well done with that glad to hear it can be done. Something similar may or may not work for the OP as I believe he is using an Apple, be worth a try though or it is a useful starting point for experimentation.

Having re-read the old thread (it wasn't me earlier by the way) I was wondering what the outcome was. Did you go for the 18-250? It seems the thread died a death before a conclusion was reached.
