I wouldn't describe a lens with a big dent as being
in "excellent condition and well looked after"

I know a good bargain when I see one.......
Unfortunately I already have a K-5 or I'd be
snatching Dave's hand off!

Fantastic old stuff! Well captured

In the late 60's a local garage had several old MG's like
the 3rd one for £50 Nobody was interested
I bought a new Spitfire at the time.

Just photographing the slides produces excellent results
and is very quick.
(See previous post by layingback)

This was a quick K-5 copy of an early 70's Kodachrome.
And a very contrasty one at that.

The main differences are DOF and image quality wide
open for each lens...... basic stuff really.

A sharp lens wide open such as the 50mm A f/2.8 macro
(obviously used in manual focus) will trigger the
green hexagon differently than a poor lens wide open
such as some 50mm f/1.7-f/1.9's.

Someone said I had a few slates missing!
But.... I've had a good look and can't see what
they are on about

Any lenses which don't report an ID, which includes M42 and M series can be adjusted under "Apply to All" but the setting has to be changed for the next lens used if that doesn't report an ID and needs a different setting.

It's a very amateur requirement. Nothing looks worse
than a photo with the date and time stamped on it.....
Well except a Video

Any Exif data can be printed on later by software.
