Upgraded to the K10D specs, and works with the K10D. Wireless is hit and miss, and i have not heard back from Sigma Canada. Asking $120 Canadian (roughly 105 US) includes shipping to Canadian and USA address. They are going new, up here any way, for $299 Canadian. Open to offers if you feel $120 is to much.

Johns right. All you need is a plug adapter. I used my Australian K10D battery charger in the US Canada with no problems at all. Also if you look at the label on the unit I think it says it works between 110-260V BTW which parts will you be visiting?

500mm M42 Pentax Manual Lens
What would one of these be worth in pretty decent shape and are they any good? Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: 500mm M42 Pentax Manual Lens
There are three different versions that I know of, the f4.5 Takumar and SMC Takumar 4.5 which I think are identical in optical formula to the K 4.5. Either of those should be very good. The SMC version would be the best of course. The other is an old 2 element 1 group design at f5.0 That one strikes me more as a collectors item than a usable lens for a modern camera, (then again I still use a 12mm T mount fisheye with Waterhouse stops on my *ist-D and Ds so maybe the f5.o would be fun to use. As to value I haven't got a clue but there are several on ebay right now, prices running from about $100, to $400. . Even the K version has a manual diaphragm so functionally the M42 lens is identical to the K. Walter Hamler wrote: What would one of these be worth in pretty decent shape and are they any good?

On 7/28/07, Barry Rice [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Folks OK, I have to admit I'm slightly confused. It seems that some of you are saying that all I need is the converter to fit my USA plug into an Australian socket. I know for a fact all you'll need for the K10D battery charger is a plug adapter. That's all I needed when I was in the US Canada: http://picasaweb.google.com/OzSavage/Misc/photo?authkey=TrIZRqTedfw#5092099075843897442 http://picasaweb.google.com/OzSavage/Misc/photo?authkey=TrIZRqTedfw#5092099032894224466 Get a good quality one though. Mine is a cheap piece of junk that left the US plug half in the wall socket every time you pulled it out :-/ Then I lost one of the 3 internal contact pins at the GFM camp site and had to make a replacement from the metal pocket tab thingy from a pen. After that I glued the sucker together and didn't have any further problems with it. I've written the above paragraph very carefully, since double entendre is so easy, and seeing the response I got when I referred to my wife's firmware. I can understand that. This is the PDML. The home of bad puns and double entendre :-) Meanwhile, others are saying I need a converter too? Does it matter that I'm planning on wanting to charge three devices: --K10D battery charger --white bread AA battery charger for an *istDs --JoBo GigaOne memory drive Firstly check the specs printed on the back of the power supplies of the devices you're going to bring. I'll use the K10D's charger as an example: http://picasaweb.google.com/OzSavage/Misc/photo?authkey=TrIZRqTedfw#5092098989944551490 As long as it gives a voltage range of around 100-250V, all you'll need is a US-Australian plug adapter. I took my laptop overseas with me and it's power supply displays the same voltage range. So all I needed for my trip was the plug adapter. Sorry for being very opaque here, but it will be important for me not to fry my batteries in the field Your K10D charger will be fine. I wouldn't worry about the AA charger too much, worse comes to worse you can pick one up locally for not much (or better yet just buy a big pack of disposable AA lithium cells and bring them with you). The portable hard drive power supply is the one to check though (I took one overseas too, but I charged it from the laptop via the USB connection).

I'd second the recommendation for lithium AA's. 2-3 sets of them will weigh less and take up less space in your luggage than the rechargeable AA's and their charger. I bought a pack of 16 AA lithiums from Sam's Club for about $20 before GFM. The set that I put in my DS2 before I started that trip is still in the camera, and still shows full on the battery life indicator. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
