Bought on a Whim

I should really stay off ebay on payday
Just bought a pentax ME super body to play with. I have a 50 mm 1.7 lens I got from ebay a few weeks ago. paid £25.99 for the camera and when i got the lens I won it for £30 so not expensive.
The main reason its a whim is because I'm notorious for exposing a roll of film then throwing it a drawer.I have a couple of toy cameras and a pentax 110 all of which I have been using but only had 1 film processed from my holga and 3 that had been thrown in the draw years ago. Think I'm a hopeless case. The upside is I have fun and the "old" film can have some interesting colour casts and the surprise of what's on the film makes it a bit like opening a birthday pressie.

Well you're lucky to win an auction! I've been struggling to find a nice film body at a reasonable price.

I have been given a totally wrecked Sper A, so we'll see how much it will cost to have it put in order again. It's on its way for a quote now.

If you buy things on a whim I better get to that camera fair before you then

Nice price on the 1.7 though.

The body was a buy it now at £25 from pics looked in good condition and description said working and a new battery fitted for the meter so remans to be seen. The lens I won I seemed to be the only bidder so that was a worry lol but I have had it a couple of weeks now and I have tried it on the K5 and its in good nick any faults with the photos is the photographers fault not the lens.
Alan I wouldn't worry about the camera fair unless its just after the 15th of the month, payday.

I've got two SFX bodies that have been gathering dust for years.. make me an offer !!

Thanks bobmartin, but loooking for a manual focus body. Unfortunately I'm not very keen on the pre-MZ series AF bodies.

Do appreciate the thought though!
