Thought so.
Are extension tubes available in pentax fit with contacts....just for aperture control.
I have seen some for sale on here which describes a "modificaton" to control aperture, but ive no idea what the "modification" is.

when using an extension tube(s) (without contacts), on a macro lens, does the lens have to have an aperture ring?
I have the d-fa 100mm 2.8 macro, and was looking at some cheap extension tubes, but im not sure they would work, as this lens has no aperture ring.
would I need a macro with an aperture ring, or extension tubes with the electrical contacts.
confused!!

a couple of weeks ago I posted in the classifieds that I was looking to buy a Pentax A28mm 2.8 lens.
Christophe (Grispie) got in touch to say he thought he had a spare one and would check when he got home. Sure enough, he got back in touch and said he did have one, and that I could have it, free, if I was happy to cover postage from Belguim.
as the package was quite small, Christophe put in in with his company mail, so it went without postage cost.
well, the lens arrived today, in very good condition, and will be put to good use.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Christophe, I am very humbled.

Thank You.

I have a hama compact traveller pro which i use when im away up the caravan. Its quite lightweight and as the name says, compact....folds down to about 14 inches iirc. Comes with a carry case with strap. I think it was £35. it supports my k3 fine with the 18-135 and 55-300 fine.

Just seen a very similar thread (monitor advice by rodcy), can this be merged into that one.

As per title really.
Ive got some vouchers for currys/pc world and may use them towards a monitor to connect to Dell laptop. Currently use lightroom 6 and Pse 14.
There is a samsung one on offer for £75 (Samsung LS24D590 Full HD 23.6" LED Monitor) , but i dont know if its any good.....i was looking to pay around £200.
I think i should be looking for an ips monitor, and what, 24-27 inch?
Doesnt have to be currys/pc world, so any suggestions would be very welcome.

they have made a cracking job of Herrington Country Park, I remember when it was a pit slag heap.
that is Penshaw Monument, but the worm (the Lambton Worm), is safely tucked up at Worm Hill, in Fatfield a couple of miles away. the "well" it was chucked down is still there too.
lovely images btw.
