The chepest way to get macro may be a reverse adaptor and cheap wideangle lens, or an old bellows set. Metering will be more tricky but will give you an idea if macro is for you.


I will be selling a Pentax smc-m 50mm f4 macro. Send a PM if of interest.

No, it is a manual focus lens. It will give focus confirmation in the viewfinder.

I was in Cameraworld in Chelmsford earlier, they had one for £300 I believe, no idea of shutter count though.

Thanks Dan,

I gave them a ring - it has a very significant scratch on the LCD, hence the competitive price. I think I'll continue to search!

Dave
If it is the LCD cover only, this can be user replaced fairly easily I understand.

I did not know the 260SA worked at all on the KM. The AF200G is a nice compact gun that gives PTTL and TTL functions.

There is a better one than the Pentax version, made by KPS on ebay, made in Korea but there are ones on sale from UK sellers. It is better made than the Pentax one, with better, sharper optics and it clamps onto the Pentax eyepece with screws, whereas the Pentax one simply pushes on and can fall off. I have tried both. The KPS one also has slightly higher magnification.

The Nikon eyepiece mag for the Nikon D90 (Nikon DK-21M) also fits on Pentax DSLR's and is cheaper than the Pentax one...and just as good,
I have both the Nikon and Pentax versions (Pentax were late to the market). IMHO, the Pentax is better made and fits slightly better, also allowing access to dioptre adjustment more easily. The Nikon is about 2/3 the price.
