I ordered 3 and it took the delivery off the total!
This may be because I'm an existing customer, I don't know.
Even with delivery, that's a great deal.

Looking forward to getting some wildlife pics/video with the 150-500mm.
Stills are going to be tricky I'm sure, but some of the videos I've seen look very good.
I've bought a few smaller bits from China before (under £18 limit) without problem, but got caught for VAT on a slightly larger item once, but still worked out cheaper.
Thanks again

I know the aperture ring isn't great, but if I'm correct, I think DA lenses will only work at min. aperture without it.
I think its pot luck with customs & depends on the price declared by the seller, If you do get caught for VAT its not usually a big deal until the P.O. charge is added, then it can be dearer than buying from a UK seller, but looks like there is not much choice for this item.
Thanks again

My question is, has anybody found a UK seller of the adaptor with both aperture ring & tripod foot?
I have searched all the usual places (eBay, Amazon etc) but only found it being sold by jinfinance from China (about £30).
Has anybody bought one from him? If so, how long did it take to arrive? & did you get clobbered with import VAT?
I don't mind the £6 VAT so much, it's the £8 the P.O. charge on top to collect it from you that bugs me!
Thanks in advance

I’ll be listing all on the bay in the next 24hrs, as I have a £1 selling fee offer (probably at slightly higher prices!)
I’ll be taking some photos later, so let me know if you are interested & I’ll try & get them on here.
All items are in excellent condition, there may be the odd spec of dust in the lenses, but nothing you wouldn’t expect in a used zoom lens, I look after my gear as best I can.
Prices are including postage to UK only please & I accept bank transfer or paypal if you pay the fees.
I’ve not sold on here before (although I have bought), but I have 100% on my ebay account (stevo564).
Pentax K5II body (boxed inc all accessories + 2x spare DTSE batteries). 11,082 shutter count & pretty near mint. £285
DTSE pattern battery grip (boxed inc 1 battery) £30
SMC Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 (boxed inc screw on metal hood) £60
SMC Pentax DA 55-300mm f4-5.8 ED (boxed inc pouch case) £125
Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical [IF] Macro (boxed & believed K1 compatible) £200
Tamron SP AF 70-200mm f2.8 Di [IF] Macro (boxed inc case, UV filter & believed K1 compatible) £375
Kenko 1.4x DG teleplus converter (not HSM, but works well with the Tamron 70-200) £45
Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 APO DG OS (boxed inc case & believed K1 compatible) £420
Sigma EX 10-20mm f3.5 DC HSM constant aperture version (boxed inc Sigma case) £200
Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 DC (not boxed, but inc Sigma case) few specs of internal dust, but nothing that shows on pics & shows a little more signs of use, but glass is fine £110
I’ve noted the lenses that I think are full frame K1 compatible, but please correct me if you think I am wrong.
As I say, these are going up on ebay with BIN prices by end of Monday 19th, so please let me know if you are interested asap, thanks.
