Is there any such thing as a big, strong, light and cheap tripod? I'd like to get something that can support the tamron 400mm f4 which is 3kg with hood + my camera body as well. Any recommendations for something that would fit the bill?

And clarky I may take you up on that offer in a bit. Want to play with the lens a touch first, but good to know there are a few still out there.

First off - merry Xmas all! Going to wait on mike then I'll get back to you Jon. Going to keep my pkm adapter as it'll reside in my mirror lens.

I'm giddy with excitement here. I've recently finishes my phd and started my first real job since so I've not been around much lately / had time to take photos... However that should hopefully change. In the hope that will happen I acted on the leads to deals and picked up that tamron 400mm f4 lens off of eBay. I've got a adaptall pk adapter but figure it's time to splurge and get a pka adapter for this lovely lens.

Anyone got one for sale of know of one that is available at a resonable price? Also may be in the market for a 1.7x pentax af tc... Buts still tbd!

Hrm, well I'll see what I can do re the rubber bit that's still on there then. Alas! Good idea re the model kit. I'm the proud new owner of that tamron adaptall 400mm f4 lens that was on eBay. Would love to get it back up to it's former glory if it's not too much hassle.

Anyone know where I can get the proper paint for a refurb on a Tamron Adpatall lens? I'm looking for that grey colour paint and the black rubber bit which goes around the focuing ring.

Well ... Went with a DA* 16-50mm. What can I say, I had a few hundred quid just burning a hole in my pocket. Phew, it feels good to be broke again!

As a price reference - there is a £529 buy-it-now / best offer on eBay right now.
