Sell the two and buy something more modern such as a 100mm
macro unless your just interested in old junk

He's had a (possibly fake).... Asahi Pentax K1000 Special Limited Edition Camera on ebay for several months slowly being reduced in price

Now £220 link .... he's not even included SE in the listing. There was an Asahi Pentax K1000 SE version but Limited was not part of the title and it had SE on it link.

I've never see a Pentax camera with "Made in Japan" written on it
The K1000 was only made in Japan from 1976 to 1978 and then HK and China.

The 1st three are great, really like the vivid colours

I'm not keen on the last one... too much brown in the foreground,
but even if that was removed the composition just doesn't work

It will already be perching somewhere, just a case of watching
to see where. Don't go too close to the nest. I think most togs
use hides. You may get something with a 300 to 500mm lens
without a hide.

Don't give the location out on the net or a few hundred
people might go there

I've got two Super A's and one of them is worn on one corner below the brassing. It looks like plastic..... sort of Vaseline coloured.

The black finish possibly couldn't be applied directly to plastic.

Thanks for that link Stefan.

I noticed further down the page that Pentax USA is moving.....
so not waiting for Ricoh then

A lens hood should stop most of the problems. Be careful using
flash if it bounces back it will cause flare. It would be better
if the scratches were in a diamond pattern that would make the lens
work like a starburst filter.

I'm surprised Ricoh haven't made a statement about what
they are going to do? Pentax's suppliers need to know as
well.

The chrome ones have been used on black bodies since the Z1-P
days, nobody bothered. Still got my original chrome 43mm that I
bought to use on a Z1-P. I can't remember when the black ones
were introduced.
