Beautiful flutterbys as one of my granddaughters calls them

On second thoughts, if I was in government I could set up a Department to deal with this problem. Answers on a postcard please.

There are no answers Steve, despite my lengthy discussion with you regarding the F 135 etc, and having decided that I didn't really need one, I cracked and bought one 'from the other place' following your promotion of the virtues of said F. So I believe that LBA is triggered by other people. Nothing else...simple, no cure.

I'll take that Steve, thanks.

This is K135/3.5 + HD-DA 1.4x AW AF Rear Converter used on K70 (my lightest body) taken from about 10ft on tripod. Only allowed 1 image per day. Personally very pleased.

Yes its me again, head is fine before you ask. Awoke this morning, cup of tea another look at the listing on Ebay, and then a flash from the past, in the back of my office drawer I remembered I have the Pentax-F 1.7 AF Adapter, sure enough I have it. attached it to the my K/135/3.5, works perfectly, entered 250 when camera asked for focal length, works perfectly, now for question could I also add HD - DA 1.4 AF REAR CONVERTER in tandem, or use it on its own.

Have had a thought about this fiasco. Decided I was suffering from a severe case of advanced LBA. After a couple of G & T's (well 4 actually) I am feeling much better thank you. SWMBO has stopped beating me which made me see the errors of my ways. Goodnight all.

Pentax-K 135/3.5. Why was I thinking of changing to Pentax -F ??? Madness

Thanks to all advice, on having second thoughts (and the fact that I do have a K series 135/3.5) I have cancelled my bid. Mike-P I had seen the eBay £220 one and it was on my watch list. My eyes will cope with manual focus for a while longer I hope. Thanks again. John

Thanks regarding FA. I prefer the F and having a punt on ebay at moment. May get back to you if I don't win it.
