Just though you might like to know:

Someone has put up an SMC-F autofocus 50mm/f1.7 up:

(I have this lens, and it's razor sharp, especially with an HMC Pro 1 UV filter on )

So sorry Trevor... don't think that's possible If I can find a cost effective way, I'll let you know.

Ah, the elusive grip. Again, sorry but I haven't got one of those either.

Ok all, the lenses are up there now (it's been a mad mad week and had hoped to get them posted earlier).

There's a Sigma 70-300, a Pentax SMC-F 35-70 and a Pentax SMC-F 28mm/f2.8

(So sad to see them go but they don't get nearly enough use these days. I'm sure someone can find them a good home )

Not sure if I should post this here...

I'm currently thinning out my gadgets and lenses. There's a load of filters, some Pentax Extension Tubes, an M42-K mount adaptor. I will be adding an SMC Pentax lens or two (sad to see them go), and a Sigma telezoom later in the week.

The link is here: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQgotopageZ1QQsassZpuzzleQ5fboxQQsorecordsperpageZ50...

(Hope this is useful!)

(And they're extremely helpful too!)

Bryan - you need the "digital" one. It's 2.5A, and has selectable voltage. You'll notice the voltage you need is marked on the camera - 6.5v (So you set the switch before plugging in )

Correction

It does work. There are two yellow tipped plugs - the larger of the two fits, but you must push it home properly. Also, make sure that the Tip sign on the lead matches up with the + sign of the plug.

The thing that caught me out: I was trying it with the battery compartment door open to prove that I had no battery power. The *ist-D has a door sensor and won't power up if the door is open! So you can use the power supply if the door is closed!!

Just for your information...
I couldn't get the power supply working on the *ist-D - the plug sizes don't seem to fit well enough . I'll see if I can come across an alternative.

Bryan,
I bought both supplies (there's a 1Amp and a 2.5Amp, each with different voltage ranges). Both are really neat and compact. I haven't had a chance to use it on the *ist-D - I did use the 2.5A on the Flashtrax which worked a treat.

I'll try the *ist-D tonight if I get a chance
