Considering a pentax system
hefty1 About the old lenses, how many of them are useable?. I have seen many unfamiliar to me k-mount (that is the mount right?) lenses on sale around. On the other hand most of them dont cost much, so experimenting shouldnt be a problem. The Pentax K-mount dates back to the mid-1970's and has been...

Considering a pentax system
Thordell Im not as brave as you :P but then again i dont know pentax yet or have any pentax gear. It feels great to have some goals :). Actually my fever to switch system is steadily rising as i am now looking at the k-m and i have noticed that you can buy a 70-300mm tamron lens for it at 139 ...

Hello from SE Wales
If you don't mind manually focusing and you are after a quality optical lens, Pentax made exceptionally high quality lenses before digital came along, you'll be amazed at how little you can pick up an f1.4 (fast) manual focus on eBay, but be quick the price of glass is rising and it looks like peopl...

Hello from a Canadian in N. Yorkshire
It might be a heavy load back as I will be bringing my DSLR kit with me there and will be coming back with 3 cameras instead of 1 hehe. Welcome to the forum Christopher. You are surely lucky, there are some that have a collection of MXs so you're in the right spot to ask everything. PS. if you t...

Hello from a Canadian in N. Yorkshire
Thanks again for all the welcomes. My dad is back home and managed to give me an inventory list and a picture. It looks like I am going to have some fun with this as it is an ME Super and the winder is for the MX. Plus, the lenses do look like some good all around lenses to play with and so I don't ...

Hello from a Canadian in N. Yorkshire
Pentax f/1.2 50mm :shock: :shock: :shock: I don't know about anybody else but I'm envious! (I get the feeling one of the 50mm is in fact a 35mm and he did a typo.) Although I can't tell exactly from the photo I don't think it's a typo - it looks like you really do have a 50/1.4 (attached...

Hello from a Canadian in N. Yorkshire
Sorry for not being overly active, but it is kind of hard with my Canon DSLR getting all the attention at the moment. I am heading home in two weeks and so will be bringing back the aforementioned Pentax kit back to the UK with me in a little over a month's time. I plan on getting some film as soon ...

About time I made a post
Robin, Was Constitution that steep? I remember having to walk up Mount Pleasant and Pen-y-Graig Road to get to Pant-y-Celyn Road that overlooked the quarry. WOW! The quarry behind Heathfield? I schooled in Gregg High School. Me and the class fool nearly got expelled for flashing cars on t...

About time I made a post
Don't remember to much about Swansea though. My step-father was from there and his family lived on Pant-y-Celyn and we would visit twice a year. We would be taken down the path and steps from there to Singleton Park, and then walk back up Mount Pleasant. It tired us out. Then in later life, a fr...

Hello, from sunny Vancouver
Welcome to the forum :) I have a 110 too but have to admit it hasn't been used in a long time. It did give suprisingly good results (by 110 standards) back in the day though!

Hello from Hilly Lincolnshire!
Just joined up so thought better sign in!! Yes, we have hills in Lincolnshire :wink: Bought the K-m, my first DSLR back in February and very pleased with the results so far. At the time Currys had a 'free' 50-200 Pentax lens with the standard kit lens but find the Sigma more use and better. Looki...

Hi From Canada
Pentax camera....My one and only pentax camera I ever owned was a Pentax k1000. It was 1976 and until 1998, when I FOUND a pentax 738 an auto focus. I love my old trusty K1000. I raised five children, took sooo many fantistic pictures of them over the years with the K1000. Along came the Gran...
