The only limitation with "M" lenses is the camera doesn't talk to them,but you can still use them, I do.
The problem with the Vivitar is an extended flange inside the bayonet mount that stops it being mounted on the body. I'm looking at modifying mine to fit
As hefty said the best lens in the bunch will be the 50mm, but hey, just try them and see.

I think I might have voided(?) the warranty by servicing the internals myself, that and replacing the light seals!
All I really need now is a good day and some fine weather.
As for an american import, well it came from Japan originally!

Then they may start getting customers to return, not just buy one camera and then use the internet.

I've started using lower rated (2300) batteries which seem to retain there charge longer. I also use a battery grip which means I have 8 batteries in two sets in use at the same time, maybe that's why I don't have any problems now.

Now we have the internet. Much more information, and from many more sources. I can find out all I need to know without stirring from my comfortable armchair. Then a quick phone call, and next day the kit arrives.
Miss the exercise, though.

The first SLR I ever used was a Spotmatic so this is a nostalga trip for me, when I've run a film through it I'll post a shot or two.
Just out of interest are there any quirks with these bodies that users can let me know about?

I think the Vivitar lens has this mount.
Can any member confirm this please?
