Snootiness in Robert Sayle? I doubt you were being hypersensitive...

Have seen a K-r (labelled as a K-x :roll in Jessops, and a K-r and K-x in Curry's Digital in Canterbury. So you can get them in East Kent now...

Why don't we look at a Saturday afternoon during November then? The 12th for example?

I'm also a Canterbury Pentaxian... Anything happening yet?

That is really, really useful. I was hoping it might be something like that.

This is square filter holder which screws on your 52mm filter thread. Comes with an orange and grey filter. VGC. £offers

Has several electrical contacts, not sure what they all do.

On ebay (username jeztastic) at the moment. If you are interested send me an offer and I will take it off eBay.

Hi,

I have some M42 lenses on ebay - no - one has bid yet, so get to me quick and I will take them off. P&P included here, you have to pay off eBay... My eBay username is Jeztastic also if you want to look at them.

Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.4. £150

Vivitar 28mm f2.8 £25

Cosina 135mm f2.8 with hood. I drilled a hole for K-Mount locking pin, it was unscrewing off the adapter as I focused. £20

Optomax 200mm f4. This is a sweet lens with about 16 aperture blades - small and light. However, it does not screw all the way on to the camera or adapters. I'm not sure why, the thread doesn't seem damaged, although it is a few turns smaller than other M42 thread I've seen. £Offers

Helios 44-2 58mm f2.0 £20 Swirly Bokeh!

Helios 44-M 58mm f2.0 £15

Zenit 12XP Camera The ISO dial is broken, so it just spins. You can still turn the spindle, so it works OK. £offers.

Prinz Galaxy 3x Teleconverter £offers

I think this is very nicely placed in the market, especially when you consider that there is also a rumoured mirrorles APS-C K-Mount in the pipeline. (OK, it's only a rumour, but all the rumours are coming from exactly the same places that were talking about the Q, and they got that spot on). These two products side by side will bracket the market - one larger and ultra high quality for the pros and fanboys, and one fun, tiny, arty and grungy. I think this is a stroke of genius by Pentax. All the trendies currently fondling X100s will have one of each by 2012, I bet any money.

Hey, thanks for the warm welcome... I am in Canterbury, and being a Man of Kent rarely venture over the Medway! Although I have taken some nice pictures walking the Downs around Sevenoaks.

Do folks from these forums ever do meets?

Hey,

Good to be here! I have been hanging out on pentaxforums.com, only just found out there was a UK site...

I have a K10D, K1000, and a few old manual lenses.
