Hi everyone

Now that I have the SP with lenses and film the item missing is a flash mount and flashgun with cable.

I would welcome some help with a suitable one please.

Woohoo! SMC Takumar 55mm arrived yesterday. It is sooo smooth, I wonder if it`s actually been used. So now I have the camera and lens combo as original. Now where to grab some time from I wonder.

Sorry Sandeha

I did miss your info ref the battery. My only excuse being I have used my Android phone not the laptop. With old eyed like mine I should have known better. Thanks very much for your advice. Will stock up at Maplins. Now where`s the ebay link?

Aha! been down the developing and printing route when I had a ME Super. Sad to say I dumped all the kit when we moved house and I went "Digital." MISTAKE!! Oh well that`s learning. So I collected the SP from the Post Office today. Looks really champion now to find a cell to power the meter. Some advice here from SP owners would be appreciated. Spent ages today searching through jewelers and the like but no known equivalent came up for the mercury cell. If I found a button cell that fits I guess it would be a slightly higher voltage than the original mercury version. Would that be a problem?

Just bought from E Bay what seems like a top quality Spotmatic 1000. Terrible impulse `cos it looked so good! Would welcome some pointers for M42 lenses. Are there any particular makes to avoid? Or more to the point what are the best ones to go for?
