Just make sure that you only seal the case for a period of time that it's done in dry room at around 20 degC and not a damp one. Silica gel will help.

Don't put anything in that's damp.

To cap it all 35mm is a useless size on FF. Back in the film days the demand was for 28mm-xxmm zooms and 28mm or 24mm primes

28mm can be easily cropped to 35mm on FF or APS-C

I can't remember Vivitar doing a 35mm K mount prime. They did the early 42mm screw mount in 35mm.

No idea what your on about, but the Sigma Art is available.

No point in paying extra for f/1.4 most cameras can't see beyond f/1.7 or f/1.8 and the transmission (T-STOP) is usually around f/1.7 anyway...

The Nikon is a cheap 35mm for APS-C ONLY

There's also the Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S Lens but that's £849 so the Pentax one is actually too cheap.

And you haven't bought one!

Such a cheap camera that it would be wiser to replace the whole thing.

There are rust converters that you can buy for guns and cars that help, but it's throwing good money after bad.

Dulux used to make a very good black paint that went on top of rust and it never came through again. Unfortunately it was so good that people only needed to buy it once so it was discontinued due to poor demand. I painted my shed hinges and locks with it about 15 years ago and they are still rust free

Hammerite paint might work.

Is it a made in China model?
