We should really have a compatibility sticky.
Or just a link to Bojidar's K-mount summary.

Only 12 feedback, none as a seller, and just one in the last 12 months. Hmm...

The results using the modified Minolta lens in the K10D are confusing. The new minimal focus distance is now 30cm (minimal focusing stop) and the maximum in-focus target distance (at infinite stop) is no more than 1 meter and 10 cm away from the camera.
This would imply that the lens is too far away from the sensor plane.

Thanks Dave!

only just saw your post. I was going to araldite it back together, but if the spare part's that cheap it hardly seems worth it...

Hi all,

I've had a bit of an accident with my AF360FGZ which has ripped the hotshoe connector from the main body of the flash. The flash still works in wireless mode, but I'd like to be able connect it to the camera for high-speed sync and general convenience. There are five coloured wires (brown red orange green yellow) coming out of the flash body and five solder connections on the hotshoe bit (see picture below) so it shouldn't be too hard to fix. I was just hoping someone might be able to tell me which colour wire goes to which pin?

Thanks in advance,

Steve

The blob in question is white on M series lenses and yellow on A lenses, which can be useful when trying to work out if a lens is M or A based on a ropey picture in an ebay listing.

I think if you state on the auction that you "reserve the right to end the auction at anytime because the item is advertised elsewhere" that you can legitimately end an auction.
Lots of people seem to think this, but it's against ebay rules. I doubt many of the sellers who say this would be too happy if a bidder reserved the right to back out of the purchase at any time because his/her money was being spent elsewhere.

no TC I am aware of passes through the power contacts for the SDM/PZ motors, so yes you'd loose SDM completely.
The Teleplus and Kenko TCs marked PzAF pass through the power contacts for the power zoom motors. I presume this means they will pass through the SDM function correctly, but haven't (yet) got hold of an SDM lens to try it with.

These are designed for critical focusing rather than general use. They magnify the central portion of the frame only. I tried one, but found I really couldn't use it with my glasses as there was little, if any, eye relief.

This looks like a one-off, and probably very expensive:
