Christian, One more 'Pentax Quirk' to add to the list.
I'm not bothered about the AF, although somebody using them to shorten the min focus distance of a long lens might be. However, I'm surprised we haven't seen some enterprising Chinese store on Ebay selling new P/KA tubes. They could make a small fortune. Maybe a big fortune if they were P/KAF tubes. --M. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.EnticingTheLight.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2009/6/26 Christian <[email protected]>: > Miserere wrote: >> >> Did you say **AF** tubes????????
