Perhaps you should have added this to your original post?

I think you have the kit up for a good price but I think you'd have sold it all by now if you split it up into separate lots.

Consider doing this if it still doesn't sell.

Wasn't it up at £600 previously (I could be wrong), and now it's £599 ? ?

I've just tried my MZ-6 + F 1.7x AF T/C + FA 28-200mm, then F 50mm 1.7 and it all works as expected. Aperture can be changed in Av mode, aperture and shutter speed can be changed in M mode.

Which lens are you using? If I have one, I'll try it.

Something similar I saw recently.

Needs a bit of work I think. The hotel that is, not the images. Nice series.

Welcome to our little corner of the internet.

With regard to high ISO shots, do you find the K-x much better than the K20D at ISO 800 and higher?

Good start.

I suspect the 135mm lens you used is not up to doing macro work. There is a lot of colour fringing, purple around the fly's front legs and green around its back legs in #2.

The images also are not sharp, maybe because the SR system had not stabilised. You pressed the shutter release before the SR indication appeared in the viewfinder (according to the EXIF data).

Keep at it, you'll get there in the end, but if you really get the macro bug, you'll want a dedicated macro lens.

I no longer use this lens since buying the DA* 60-250 and 300mm lenses.

Offered here for £65.00 incl. postage. Lens is currently in UK.

Original Pentax front cap, Tamron Adaptall 2 rear cap. This lens is in very good used condition and is the model having the power zoom function. Note the words Power Zoom between the focal length scale and the focussing ring. The focussing ring is pushed forward to enable power zoom or rearward for manual zoom.

The physical length of this lens does not change when zooming from 100-300-100mm.

Send me a PM if interested.
