Looks highly likely.

Some of these are still listed in the USA.

You can get a leaflet that explains all from the Post Office, entitled "Items you cannot send in the international mail" (RMDG1) - or phone 08456 000 606 for a free copy.

I was guessing £250 plus as well.

That's not the point, if you check out the BoE website it's quite clear. And we can't carry the images here on PU as a consequence. It was pointed out and it can't be ignored. What ebay and Google carry is up to them.

If you want to shoot banknotes, then you can apply online for a licence to do so.

Yes Algi, it became evident that the copying of even parts of Bank of England notes was in fact a criminal offence.

A 1.4x converter, which I think is a better choice in terms of potential quality, has been on the lens roadmap for a very long time.

I'd like to see it appear, although I fear it will not be cheap.

And another. Please enter images shot during March 2013, as per the Monthly Competition rules.

I would check out SRS for UK discounts.

If we think back to when the K mount was introduced, many people would have large numbers of screw thread lenses. The Adapter K effectively converts a K body into a screw mount body to they could update the body and still use the lenses.

That's the way it works. You put the adapter on a lens and then fit the lens to the body. Then you can unscrew and replace that lens with any other screw mount lens as desired. This requires the clip so the whole lot doesn't fall out.

Some marques do it the other way round, where each lens has to be adapted. Obviously there are advantages to both approaches, but the Pentax way is simple and only needs one adapter per body.

I understand why people might want to remove the locking clip, but it makes for more difficult working and has potential dangers. It doesn't take long to remove the adapter even with the clip. Not the Pentax one anyway, which fits properly.
