Guys-- I'm putting three items of Pentax gear up on Ebay. First is a 50mm 2.8 SMC A-Macro lens, perfect glass and diaphram, tiny bit of paint chipping on the bottom, overall very good condition.

Second is a 50mm 1.4 SMC A, very good to excellent condition.

Third is the most interesting item of all. It's a Pentax M Macro Bellows with slide copier and an extra adapter for Nikon bodies. I had a machine shop mill the adapter to fit onto T-mounts, so if you can scare up a T-mount adapter for any other body, it can fit on that, too, provided the clearances allow. The kit includes the dual cable release. The bellows itself is in excellent condition and light-tight. It works very well with the 50mm for slide copying. It will, of course, still work with Pentax bodies, as all one needs to do is losen a release screw to change adapters (I can literally go from using a Pentax body to using a Nikon body in less than ten seconds-- OK, I know the Peanut Gallery is going to have some comments on that!). It's made for K-mount cameras, but I'm sure it would be possible to find an M-42 adapter somewhere. I've modified enlarger lenses to fit on it, just get a Pentax body cap and drill the proper sized hole in it.

Anyhow, it's some good stuff, if anybody is interested.

Best of luck to all, and happy shooting. -Bill Cornett
