Tim It was my lucky day today and found a Novoflex Pigrif C 600mm. The one in your ebay link is older. The biggest problem is finding a pentax novoflex adapter (it's labeled penta). My first test in the backyard looks very promising. In fact I'm impressed so far. On a istD I don't see any big lens errors during "pixelpeeping". I don't have any long pentax glass to compare this oldie against. Now I only need to find time to shoot some wildlife. Toine
