Same as Mike. (Mind you on ebay I'm stereoflab, which is a slight amendment to a band's cd that was lying on my desk at the time!)

I agree. Personally I tend to get a feel from having been on this forum for a while, but a separate "Feedback" thread would allow for mutual updates on any transaction. Of course, people could conspire, so caveat emptor still applies, but it would still be a useful tool IMHO.

My story on the grip is a bit convoluted, but here we go! Had K10D plus grip - loved it. Got GX20 from Jacobs crazy sale and sold K10D with grip. Got (rare) Samsung grip, but HATED it!!! Why? The Pentax grip was rock solid, so in portrait mode there was no movement in the grip/camera connection. Not so the Samsung. Because of the different design, the grip didn't have any "lips" in various places and, no matter how much I tightened, there was always a small amount of movement holding portrait. (If I had never had the K10 then this might not have bothered me, but I knew it could be better.) So I sold the Samsung grip.

Then I saw on da Bay a Chinese Pentax grip, which I got for £30. I then cut and filed as appropriate and, hey presto! a grip for £30 that does the job and is as tight as a tight thing that has been put on extra tight duty! (And only close inspection reveals it is not quite right...)

No problem, this can be a bit tricky.

BUMP!!

I'm supplying a PK adapter, so the 2x converter will attach to the camera no problem. But you can only attach an Adaptall 2 lens to the converter (see the photo above). If the 500mm is a normal K-mount, then it won't fit. I'm not an expert, but perhaps anyone else reading this thread can confirm?

SmutjeUK, I can wait 10 days if you will definitely buy. (Did notice that you don't have any adaptall lenses in your sig, though?)

This remains from an earlier thread. I don't want it to go on ebay, so the price is now a bargain £30 including UK postage Bank transfer or PayPal Gift:

Mowog - I rather liked that "rant". (It's been a cr*p day and that brightened it up.) Do you mind that I deliberately used a Basil Fawlty in total exasperation mode voice to read it by? Works wonders! (By the way, this is no comment on the subject matter of your thread, which I'll leave for others. I do think you should offer your services to others though - a nice rant without getting nasty! :wink

Cheers

300mm lens and adapter now sold. Just the converter left, which has a very good reputation and this one is in fine nick!
