What's caused all the jaggies on the railway lines and other

The photo that won £12k in the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize certainly isn't Art (IMHO)

If this were a decent photograph I would be very annoyed in the way
the BBC think they can just chop it up any old how

That should help with the sale
The English manual can be downloaded from Pentax.
They used to also sell it as a book.

Perhaps if you filled in your location it would help?
Also has it got an English manual and any Guarantee?
Shutter count?

Some older filters such as Yashica had a screw out glass retaining ring. So the glass could be removed and put back easily. They were also quite chunky.

Never used them but they always looked a first class supplier
of enlargers and other darkroom equipment, which indicates to
me that they are interested in photography and not just after
a quick buck.

I wouldn't hesitate buying anything from them. Strangely they
aren't that cheap on the other cameras, maybe Pentax gave them
a special deal.

They have some interesting PDF's for anyone still developing
films.

I think the cement softens with a bit of heat and you can get it apart.
The big problem is gluing it back together it has to be to quite tight
tolerances.... job for a specialist.

mowog I haven't got an 'A' series suffering from fungus, but my
50mm f/1.4 needs re-greasing, I was just wondering if it came apart
the same. It doesn't bother me the way it is, it's just if I come
to sell it.

There were some good Mk1 Kit lenses. I couldn't tell the
difference between the Mk1 I got with the *istDs and a
later Mk2. Another (late model) Mk1 I had was not in
the same league.
