Not quite what he means, I think - I check the screw-mount lists
occasionally (remember I'm that Spotty fan) and one seller there listed
screw mount to K mount adaptors over 50 times at one point - all the same
price, none with bids. In some areas, even fairly tight searches draw this
type of dealer clogging. Very annoying if you want to cruise a category
looking for bargains or for your own education.
