Do you mean a K series 500mm lens or a K500 DSLR?

K series 500mm lens.

Well it made it to Ohio...

It will be an interesting challenge getting that onboard in carry-on luggage

I’m struggling to find a bag sufficiently large to accommodate my copy of the lens with body attached.

That thought had crossed my mind. Hoping it'll fit without the body... I have to buy a new bag soon anyway as my old cheapie** one which has lasted almost 12 years is starting to show its age.

**I think I got my £43.70s worth given I ordered in in January 2009.

I had a K-series 20mm lens in my sights but despite advertising it as "worldwide shipping" the seller declined to send it out of the US. By the time I had spoken to my sister-in-law in MA, it had sold. Grrrrrr. I do have a K500 winging its way to a friend in Ohio, but who knows when I'll get there to collect it...

If you could spend a little more and don't mind all manual operation, you can't get more reliable than a K1000.

Personally I would go for KM over the K1000. It doesn't have the cult following that the K1000 does (and is therefore usually much cheaper) and has one or two more "bells and whistles". On all older cameras there is a tendency for the mechanical self-timers to be a bit sticky and this can be the case with the KM too. If you never use it, its not a problem

Orvieto is gorgeous. Perhaps I should get around to digitising my own slides of it...

I wondered if there was something inside but could not hear anything - I have sent an e-mail to Harrow Technical -- I know they are no longer in Pentax House though. That K-M42 Adapter is the real PENTAX one

If Robin doesn't want to do it, try Alan Marlow [email protected]">([email protected]). He did an excellent job on my auto-Takumar that I got from John (where else?) and the charge was very reasonable.

Cheers, Kris.

PS The forum is doing something odd with the formatting of the email address but I'm sure you can work it out!

Although it is currently residing with a friend until we can meet-up again, I have finally managed to find the elusive lens hood for my SMC Pentax-AF zoom 1:2.8 35-70mm.
