Interesting photo.... the ME Super is actually supplied with
the 50mm 'A' series f/1.7 lens? £190 with flash and bag?

Probably Death Watch Beetle

I'm not sure about ordering it, but I think some of the US versions came with two identical black switches one worked the mirror lock.

Going back to the Oly lenses the two push buttons on each lens
were brilliant one worked as a stopdown DOF preview the other
released the lens for removal much better than fumbling for
a button on the body and much quicker to change lenses.

Oly lenses are easy to adapt to Pentax K some pics on the other
forum. One big drawback with them is no half-stops.

There's and FTL on ebay with the 50mm M42 screw lens £125 BIN

This has to be a windup John

The OM1 was released in 1972/73 the Spotmatic F was
Pentax's answer to it

Hardly right to compare it with the MX released 3-4 years later
I would say it was ahead of the Spotmatic F in 1973 especially because
of the dampened mirror with mirror up switch and big bright finder
with intechangeable screens and was a lot smaller. Plus it was a
bayonet mount, Olympus dropped the M42 thread in 73.

Olympus M-1 Brochure 1972

Olympus lenses were good even though single coated. I'm not sure
when they changed to MC lenses (early 80's?). The letters MC are
stamped on the lenses. I think Pentax changed to MC in 1971.
The earlier SC lenses are as much in demand as the later MC ones,
some people believe they control flare better.

The Olympus bayonet mount was also very wide and they produced
more f2 lenses than anyone else.

Not bad for a company that only started full frame 35mm SLR
manufacture in 1970 with the FTL which consistently came out
tops on the resolution test certificates that R.G. Lewis
used to supply with every camera and lens they sold.

The OM-2 came out in 1975 before any of the K mount cameras.

Edit: Another M-1 Brochure

The OM10 was a very cheap camera compared to the ME Super which would have been out at the release of the OM10. It also had off the film metering if I remember correctly. The OM2 was already out when it was released as was the K2 both of which cost about £300 with 50mm lenses.

Nice shots Smeggy... someone should buy you a beanbag for Christmas

A small solid Leica, Minolta, Polaroid type tripod is also handy.
It can be held against a vertical object quite easily.

He seems more a Canikon type to me

Yes I saw one caught in a web, wrapped up and eaten in the garden last year

I don't think the lens is included He's also stated it will
fit a Contax so he must know the lens comes off. Anyone bidding
had better get confirmation.

These usually go for about £50

Nice pictures of a horrible thing!
