I had one of these bought from new, but didn't use it much
because the corners were a bit soft. The centre was very
sharp. I sold it boxed/mint/hardly used for £125 a few
years ago. The buyer was made up with it.
I did notice on some shots later that it looked to have
very nice bokeh at f/2.8 .......... Has anyone else tried the
bokeh on digital?
Edit:
A quick look on Flickr brought up this taken by
someone else. The bokeh does look good.

I bought my first Pentax Spotmatic from Jessops around 1970
along with the very expensive (in it's day) 85-210mm Zoom.
I've used them ever since for SH stuff and offers.
Most of my digital stuff is from SRS.
Sadly Pentax now seem to be falling behind even Sony, Olympus
Panasonic etc. I think the best selling camera they have in
Japan at present (K50) isn't even in the top 50
Bring on the LED's it's worth a shot

I like all these. You seem to have quickly adapted to
the camera.

You need the correct lead, which has the same jackplug on it
as some Canons. 2.5mm diam. x 11mm projection.
You might have to buy the full unit again or possibly solder
a jackplug on.
IR is the other alternative.

And another. The crops are unavoidable although some
cloning might be possible.
