I used to get all my reproductions from Oldtimer - I don`t know if they still exist - or try tomscameras on ebay or similar sellers.

Regards

You can get the manual from here (password is Pentax - case sensitive).

My advice is to put a nice 50mm on the front, some Ilford FP4+ in the back and enjoy!

By the way, you have it in your signature as SP100... K.

Enjoy your new spotty Emma, I have several and find them pleasure to use.

By the way if the battery needs replacing use a modern button cell of the right size and pack any side to side play with a bit of cardboard or similar. The meter works on a balanced circuit system(!?) and handles modern cells OK.

By the way Have you tried developing your own films yet?
Cheers, HG

Not yet HG. My mum has got a refound love for photography so she wants to convert the soon to be spare room into Darkroom which will be very good.

Your lucky she's going to join you in developing film.

I find it a very satisfying part of photography, even if I do only scan the negs into the computer.

There's a collection of my B&W stuff here, To give you some idea as to what can be done easily.

I am really looking forward to it to be honest. Some nice shots there. Did you see the review of the new scanner in AP this week?

No, I don't bother with AP, or any other mag.

They only make me want to buy more kit!!

The scanner I use is one of these which does what I want.

Like your style HG - I got a VEHO similar to that one - does for me.
