It was probably prior to 1969. The later focusing rail was slotted so that it will fit any thickness of camera. I've got the later rail but not the copystand. I've got a Kaiser copystand. I use a tripod quick release on the rail so the body thickness doesn't matter. That's the best solution or cut the lugs off

Does anyone know when the "Pentax Copy Stand-P" was made? There was a Copy stand IIP and IIIP made later. I'm guessing it was during the Spotmatic era but more precise info would be nice.

Many thanks, K.
Why have you dug one up?

Nice shots the 35-70mm F is a great lens.
The Pentax_A 35-70mm f/4 is the greatest possibly
one of the best zooms Pentax ever made even better than the
18-55mm II Kit Lens and they go for a song

Nice to know that stolen cameras can be found so easily

Found an AP test report from 1997 if it's the same lens.
77mm filter.... max length 231mm ...... weight 1595 gr.

Should perform better at the 300mm end than the 80-400, but that's
203mm long and 950 grm.

Max performance approx 120 lpmm at 300 end at f/8 + 1/2 stop.
Slightly better performance at 100mm end.
Edge performance slightly worse, but close at f/11

Slight pincushion at 300mm and slightly warm colour shift.
Overall score 79%..... 80-400mm scored 82%

I'm surprised no one's mentioned M*300mm's or A*300mm's (f/4) surely
some of the best and toughest lenses ever made, but because there
isn't much interest in Pentax long glass they sell for the same
price that Takumar and bog standard Sigma 300's go for.

Strangely the less useful 200mm * lenses sell for more than the 300's

I wonder why that is so big especially the length. Can't be
because it's f/4 surely. The 80-400mm is quite small.
