Yes, thank you so much; I did buy one from Griturn recently (nice people, are'nt they) but I don't get on wth it too well. I find it gets kinda stuck and difficult to remove from the camera. I have to have 3 hands so to fiddle with the little springy bit in order to get it off How do you manage?

All you good people here are an incredible font of information!
Like a lorry load of photographic historians is what you lot are
Absolutely brilliant.
Now I have to ask you please, what do I look for in the way of M42 to Pentax adapters?
I have had a bit of a look and notice that there are different types / prices on offer. Are there some better than others? are some no good at all?

Regards, Larry.

Hi Pentax people,
I have just been given some M42 lenses, all a bit grubby & in need of a bit of a clean; Does anyone here know anything about these/ Are they worth the cost of sending to a specialist optic cleaner?

Hanimex1:2.8,f28mm.
Asahi Takumar 1:3.5/200
Vivtar 75-205 1:3.8 close focusing auto zoom
Asahi Super Takumar 1:2/55
Asahi Takumar 1:2.8/105 ( this one a bit wobbly)
Also Prinz Galaxy Auto 3xconverter
Vivitar 2500 electronic flash (any good?)
S1 A body
SP100 body
And a peculiar Asahi Pentax meter that appears to sit on top of the viewfinder?


I'd be obliged for any info.

Regards to all, Larry

AAHHH!,,,OF Course!!!

Thank you so much.
Please don't tell anyone else how silly I am.

Regards,
Larry.

Please, what is a 'pm' ?

Hi Jon,
Thanks for replying
Yes,Adaptall 2, It is wearing an Olympus OM1 adapter at the moment,as is the 28mm.Please let me know how much you want for the adapter to K20.

Regards, Larry.

I have aquired a tammy 1:2.8 f28mm auto and a Tammy SP28-80 1:3.5-4.2 CF macro.
Does anyone here know if it would be worth the cost of adapters for these for my K20?

Excuse me butting in chaps but do any of you have experience or knowledge of 'Auto Chnon 1:2.8 f=35mm' please?

Thanks all,
I'll give that a go.

Hi all,

I have a very old 'Photo of my Grandparents but it is stuck (in one small area) to the glass of the frame. I would like to remove it from the glass and get it retouched; I have tried soaking it in plain water with a tiny drop of fairy wash-up for 48 hours but no joy.
Got any ideas please?
You guy's always come up with the goods when I have a querie but I fear I may be unlucky this time
