I'm still saving up for a 6x7...

Errr a Dell laptop of some description, a netbook and three external hard disks. Beyond that I haven't a clue. I probably knew when I got them but damned if I know now. Why would I care provided it works?

Lovely.

Ditto. One has to take it on a case-by-case basis. The microscope adapter he sold me was perfect. I think mowog was just having a bit of fun.

You can see why hefty's sales get top dollar: lots of clear photographs, clear descriptions, obviously knowledgeable seller and so on. When I get a description like those on something I want I'll send a detailed message, e.g., asking about oil on the blades and fungus with some information on how to look for those things. Honest sellers get back with the info. If they don't get back to me, I don't bid.

I have been generally lucky with most of my ebay purchases, none too far wide of the mark. I did buy a KX from another website once which was terrible and I had to threaten the seller with small claims court. I've seen artefacts dug up from my sites in better nick than that camera. The first time I tried to change the aperture the lens fell off in my hand. His excuse was that he didn't know I was a 'collector' and thought I wanted the camera to take photographs. Not sure enough light could have got through the lens to actually take a photo though

Thanks mowog, an amusing set of (sadly true) phrases, especially the 'I'm selling it for a friend' one!

Oops, my bad. Nice black MX there, and even the right vintage of lens cap for a "K" lens. I was bidding on a batch of cameras which included that lens but too many others had noticed it as well It is one on my wish list.

Best wishes, K.

Surely the DA-L range? It is a shame that Pentax devalued the Takumar name with their budget k-mount lenses.

Here it is (and sorry to the OP for hijacking your thread).

There was an excellent fish-eye thread a little while back with some great images. I had always been a fish-eye cynic until then. Must try and find it...
