Three K telephoto primes
I think that 50 is an M as it has the M-type lens cap, the K series caps have a crinkle finish and don't have Asahi Pentax picked out in chrome. My three lenses above have the original K caps. Ha! Ha! :lol: Your looking for a lens and don't know what your looking for :lol:..... careful you don't get...

Three K telephoto primes
Unusual if the K-m isn't out on old lenses. Pentax cameras going back to the Z-1 and possibly earlier have always been out by 1.5 to 2 stops. The digitals are quite well documented on the US forum. Plus different lenses meter differently even the modern stuff. I seem to get faster shutter speeds wit...

Pentax A* 200mm Macro

As for Danny's lens I Don't know why I'm jealous, I do have my 100MM DFA Macro, and even then can manage quite well with my 16-50 DA* as the exampl...

Gold Spotmatic
Pentax UK have a headquarters??? Ricoh seems to have changed things. I always had the impression that the entire (Hoya) Pentax UK operation was being run out of the back of a Transit van,

Those that follow the classified section closely will be aware that I recently sold my old GT5541LS tripod as we picked up the new Gitzo GT5562GTS at the recent Focus...

S1a & Super-Takumar 55/1.8 (aperture wrong way?)
You have an early Super Tak and I have a late Auto Tak that are pretty much identical, including the back-to-front aperture ring. Takumar models tended to morph from one model to the next in a less cut-and-dried way than modern lenses. Take the S-M-C 135mm f/2.5 lens, for example. The second vers...

ultimate portrait lens collection ?
Hi Opethian, the DA* 55 is an excellent lens but if you're going to buy it be sure that you check it out with your own camera first or that you can return it if not satisfied. Here is my original post on the subject... https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/da--55mm-f1-4-16392 ... The copy I have ...

Pentax SV
After a few people on Pentaxforums.com sung the praises of the Pentax SV I picked up a broken one for peanuts then got Eric Hendrickson to repair it for me. It has just got back from Eric and is now loaded with Ilford Delta 100 film. I have fitted it with one of my earliest lenses, an Auto-Takumar...
