That wouldn't be any good..... The fur would get wet from beer being spilt down it ...... especially when I go on Tanglefoot or have a Waggledance!

That post by jules applies only to the US

In the UK price fixing is banned and Pentax have increased
prices to the retail outlets.

That's a lot fairer

I was looking for one of these Vintage Flying Jackets for when I'm drinking Bombardier or Spitfire Bitter

What's so special about a pair of 1953 underpants that someone
would pay £54 for them link

Were these behind/cause of the early 1950's baby boom!!

I'm surprised at the lack of interest by M42 users in the Yashica Electro-X In it's day (1968 ) one of the most advanced cameras you could buy. The first to use LEDs for metering and a very quiet electronically controlled Copal Square SE shutter with speeds 2 secs to 1/1000th. Even has a mirror lift lever.

A big plus is that some models use the readily available 6V Silver PX28 (or alkaline) battery. I suppose 4 x LR44 would work as well.

I've just dug out my old Elecro-X, which I haven't touched for 30 years. Borrowed a PX-28 out of my Pentax Spotmeter, put it in the camera and everything works and the meter is still accurate. Very heavy camera though... no use for the wimps who complain about the weight of digitals

Nice one on ebay (US) for £113 link

The same dealer has a Yashica Lynx Rangefinder in with a fixed 45mm f/1.4 ..... Yes f/1.4 lens link

Yashica lenses are of course made by their lens company Tomioka.... They even made a 55mm f/1.2 in M42
something Pentax never quite managed

I agree with Mannesty about the misleading title of this thread.
SRS have their hands tied and have very generously let us have
existing stock at the pre Pentax increase price, even though
this can mean they actually lose money, if it costs them more
to replace a lens than they sold the old one at.... I doubt
if any supermarkets would do that

I meant someone from the thousands who have signed up to
this forum

Forgot the smiley as well

We pinch all our water from the Lake District.... if we
