I can understand why you did this though. It really is a case for guessing about a lens and having a good look for yourself first, before committing yourself to purchase of a lens, however cheap. This pretty much rules out internet auction purchases, unless you get it for not much more than postage then. There is a largish cart boot sale every Sunday near me which often has camera lenses - yet to have a K mount when I have been there - and I have fancied a go, if something interesting came up. I'm still undecided now but better informed... Malcolm
