I have a bit of a mix of filter systems at present (Lee 100 and 150) and am trying to consolidate down to a single system and am running into difficulty understanding something. I have a Lee SW150 System adaptor https://www.wexphotovideo.com/lee-sw150-system-adapter-1536782/ but I haven't bought a SW150 holder (MkI or MkII) yet - I thought I understood what this adapter does but the Lee Filters site and Googling hasn't provided a proper explanation (or maybe I'm a bit too dense to get it ) - the adaptor claims to allow the use of Lee Filter Rings (100 system) on the SW-150 holder - but I cannot determine whether it will only work with the MkI holder or the MkII as well.

I suspect this adaptor pre-dates the SW-150 Screw-in lens adaptors which connect the filter ring of a lens directly to the SW-150 MkII holder, and any previous information that may have been on the Lee site appears to have been removed?

If this makes sense any assistance would be appreciated
Sorry John, got mixed up on this a bit. You can use 150 filter system going down on smaller lenses but not the 100 going up. By using a screw in adapter with sizes from 72 up to 105mm but at £80 each not cheap. There are 6 diameter sizes, look them up on the WEX Webb site “SW150 screw in adapters”

Pentax Rear Converter A 2x-S - Boxed with original case.

These turn up fairly frequently, but not often with case and box - this one is in very good condition and is a top quality 2x converter that is suitable for use with lenses up to 300mm (there is an "l" version for longer lenses)

=======================================

SMC Pentax A 70-210 f4

This lens was an unusal design with a constant f4.0 being held throughout the whole zoom range, it also appears to have a Fixed Rear Element Extension (FREE) - a feature normally reserved for higher quality prime lenses. It is a one touch design, prone to zoom creep, this one is in fairly good condition - there is a little "grittiness" in the focus sometimes, but it doesn't detract and isn't major. But becuse of this I have priced it failry low.
