Yes it works fine but it's screw drive not HSM.

I have a decent NAS I use as a Plex server, maybe I will look into that.

I really use it mostly for storage and posting the odd photo and there are cheaper solutions out there I'm sure. Just seems a shame as I have been a member since around 2010 and they seem to be pricing themselves higher than their worth (to me anyway and I rarely change anything unless absolutely necessary)

The post about the gallery prompted me to post this ....

My Flickr subscription is up for it's yearly renewal and I notice the price has increased dramatically.

2017 - $24.95
2018 - $34.99
2019 - $49.99
2020 - $71.88

That's triple the price of 3 years ago, I think the time has come to look elsewhere.

I did exactly the same with my DA* 300mm f/4. Took it out for a quick test as I had someone interested in buying it and dropped the hood while attaching it to the lens. picked up the hood and the tab had totally disappeared in the long grass.

New hood is £60+ and can't find just the tab anywhere, as you say tabs from other lenses don't fit despite them being the same filter size.

Was it you selling this

Not me Garerth, I don't give my lenses away for nothing. It's people like that who devalue Pentax equipment so much that others have sell it for a lot less than it's real worth.
