I have and have used an MG, not bad little cameras, very similar to the earlier ME.

As has been said the lens is worth it alone so try it out and play.

This is a link to the manual, it could be usefull for you.

Like give the alloy a brass coating, then when the paint rubs off at least it'll look classy
Now THAT'S a good idea...

...hello Pentax...

Come on - look at the coated metal cameras of the 70s and 80s - they still almost invariably look good! Even the ones where the metal shows through a bit look classy, compared to scuffed and chipped plastic!

A camera in mint condition is a sad camera, as it has not been used enough...lol
True, my black MX has rubbed shoulders showing the metal underneath. It looks fine, but the metal isn't shiny silver!

Maybe we should have faith in Pentax getting the finish right.

Ah yes polchraine, but could they resist the delicate handling of a typical ham fisted photographer hanging from a tree?

I use a Lowepro Slingshot 100, it takes either of my cameras plus acouple of lenses.

The down side is it hangs on just one shoulder, but this makes it easily accessible, the up side .

I also have a Lowepro Fastpack 200, this is more of a traditional rucksack with camera section at the bottom and bag at the top. It's also bigger, check the Lowepro site for details.

Mine came form Amazon, the price was right!

Both bags are superb quality, as they should be at the RRP!

Seeing the body like this makes me wonder how long the coat will last?

After all it is just a sprayed cover, how cool would the body be left naked on the finished model!!!!

Something like the SMC Pentax 18-250mm would be usefull, I use a Sigma 18-200 as a walkabout. Tamron also have a lens in this area.

The range on this type of lens means less swapping and more chance of getting the shot you want.


Prices vary from around £290 for the sigma upwards.

The angels always loose their finger for some reason.

Nice shots Karl.

Back on thread, the weather's fine and I' m going to play in the garden before going to work.
