FS: VIVITAR PKA 2X MACRO ZOOM CONVERTER

Surplus to requirements after picking up a couple of dedicated macro lenses. Simialr to the Telepus converter I had, this is in slightly better condition, with box, case, instructions and front and rear caps.

The converter is in excellent condition: 7 element construction, smooth zoom, clean lens surfaces and lovely purple coating. No scratches or fungus. The lens can be used as a normal 2x converter as well as a macro unit, with magnification or aroun 1/4 to 1x life size. Best results with 50mm lenses and longer.

PKA mount allows use with film and digital bodies in all exposure modes. The mount does have a Ricoh pin but it is recessed no problems on my K7 or istDS.

£48 posted rmsd in UK. £5 more worldwide.

I have one of these with a PK mount and it's a terrific match for an older manual 50mm. Very good price for a PKA mount, almost tempted to upgrade, but don't have anything to match it to.

Milamber, thanks. I will post some photos later taken with a 50 to demonstrate.

Does this let you control aperture from the body? If so, I'm interested...

Yes monk , it's a PKA

I'm out and about at the moment, please take this as my offer.

I think I sent first offer so need to declare that I'm interested, so rest on PM.

Barbarosa is first in line having sent a pm, Monk is second if things fall through.

These are all handheld, with an FA 50/1.4 and converter, all at around life size except the tin, with camera's pop up flash. Not great quality but hopefully shows what the lens can do.

Thanks ccxx for being so helpful.

barbarosa, good luck, I think one of us is going to be happy with the outcome

Monk

I have all sorts of things to clear out. I think I had the Kenko version, which is basically the same. I'll dig it out

Now sold. Thank you.

I do have another if anyone is interested! Not boxed, includes front and rear caps and case. In same condition as the one above.

Second one sold. Thanks
