OK, fixed it. Thanks for the remainder.

I have already contacted both SRS and my local dealer. SRS told me they would notify me when it was back in stock; same for my local dealer. No estimated time of arrival given.

Thanks bforbes! Unfortunately, they don't ship parcels outside UK.

As in the title. I could use some help with framing, and I guess this thing would be valuable addition to my K-3 II. Unfortunately, it seems no web camera store in EU has one. If anybody here has and is willing to part with it (or knows where to find it new) I'd be interested!

Would love to get this one. It's a pity that this is UK only

The adapter arrived safely. Thank you John!

Bump and offers update (probably the last one):
1. SMC Pentax 30mm/2.8: £175
2. SMC Pentax 28mm/3.5: £100
3. SMC Pentax 85mm/1.8: £275
4. SMC Pentax 50mm/1.2: £275
5. SMC Pentax 20mm/4: £250
6. SMC Pentax 28mm/2: £550

Fair point about 20mm/4. It seems more scarce than I thought, but it's also not on top of the list of my want-to-haves. Anyway, let's assume £200 as a new starting point. It probably still won't be enough to convince those who are lucky to have it, but you never know.

As for "M" versions, I'd consider 28mm/2 and 85mm/2.

Cheers

Hello everyone,

I see that I forgot to include my location info. I'm from Poland, Warsaw (I don't expect many of you know good places around there to look for good film cameras). There's a photography market in here, and I'll go there eventually, but as far as I know, the prices for cameras and lenses are terrible and people mostly shop there for film rolls.

I know that buying ~30-40 year old gear on the Internet is risky, but I think that this forum is definitely better place in this regard than eBay.

I mentioned 'in black', but colour is the least of my priorities. It also doesn't have to be professionally serviced (although certainly welcome), but I would like it to be ready to shoot, with lightmeter working properly, and in a good shape.

Hello everyone,

I've signed up for a photography course that starts with teaching the basics of analog photography and development of film. Therefore, I'm required to get my own film camera, preferably full-manual (manual exposure and manual focus) and as simple as possible, to aid learning.

I wonder if anyone here has a well preserved one and don't mind parting with it for reasonable price. I'm interested in Pentax K-mount and Pentax M42 Screwmount cameras; don't have to be Pentax brand (I heard good opinions on some made by Ricoh for example), but are obviously preferred. I look for relatively large and bright viewfinder, at least 1/1000s shutter, solid construction, battery required by lightmeter only, split image focusing screen. Preferably in black.

I'm open to suggestions.

Cheers!
