The RSPB own brand binoculars are very good, and the Viking ones they carry are pretty good value. You don't seem to be able to order online at the moment but there's an RSPB shop in Conwy if that's near you?

The downside to this approach is it's quite fiddly if you want to quickly take the TC out and mount the lens directly on the camera.

There are plenty of cheap M42 TCs out there, just do a quick search on ebay for "M42 2x". Come to think of it, I have one or two spare somewhere I could let you have for a very reasonable price .

You can get better quality K-mount TCs (which you could also use on your more modern lenses of course), but they'll cost you more.

If you don't get any response from them, you could always try tracking down their web hosting provider and asking them to remove the images. Most ISPs have terms and conditions that require users to have copyright clearance for anything they upload. That's not to say they necessarily enforce them...

Hi all,

I don't know about you, but I'm annoyed by the increasingly unreasonable terms and conditions of many photography competitions, whereby the photographer basically waives their rights over the image simply by entering. Just found that Pro-Imaging are running a campaign on the subject, with helpful lists of "good" and "bad" competitions. Worth a read if you ever enter competitions:

Photo Competitions : Rights Grabbing Raids?

So you don't need me to tell you that you'll need to register with HMRC within three months of selling your first photo (unless you want a £100 fine that is).

Hi all,

just a quick plug for a couple of items I have on ebay:

Pentax A2x-L Teleconvertor for long focal length lenses ONLY (300mm/2.8 and up):

Pentax D-BG1 battery grip for *istD:

Sorry, haven't got time to read all of this thread just now, but just to say THE REDESIGN IS ABSOLUTELY FLIPPING AWFUL. AND YES, I AM SHOUTING.

I really don't need this: could someone please snap it up before FBA (lesser known cousin of LBA) gets the better of me.

Serendipity: it will work with your camera, it just won't offer the full range of automatic functions that a P-TTL flash will. The cheapest P-TTL flash is the AF200FG which at £75 is a good £75 more than this one, and while it has P-TTL it doesn't have bounce or swivel.

Is this the adaptall-2 version? I had a similar problem with mine in bright sunlight. Funnily enough it seemed to go away when I got a new AD2 mount, but that might just have been my imagination!

Are you using a lens hood?

Available, yes. Not exactly easy to get hold of though...
