Looking at my Program A with an F2 M 50mm on the front. Feels really nice....... But I still want the F1.7! I go for manual operation anyway so A series maybe wouldn't be much of an advantage....?

Thinking of creating a nice set here with a 135mm a 50mm and a 28mm if I can find one at a reasonable price? 135mm seem to be between £30 and £50? 28mm seem to go for more like £60+? About right value wise?

I hadn't noticed the dust at all until I looked from a slightly different angle!!

The arctic butterfly is quite expensive......


I'm very paranoid about damaging the sensor or making the dust worse through the home cleaning stuff!

Was thinking of just going F2 all the way then probably bracket at shutter speeds 1/60 to 1/100. 36 exp film so practical.

So handheld metering of the darkest areas works ok? I'm just concerned about shutter speeds of 1/20 without SR of my DSLR!!!

Will be a good test for me.

I have this roll of Fujicolor 800 ISO film and thinking about pairing it with my Program A with a F2 50mm lens and the ME II grip for more stability.

Will be in York Tuesday evening and alongside a trip to the theatre, I could have some opportunities for city photography. I'd like to play with avilable street lighting and capture the feel of a dark city using the highlights from street lamps and buildings.

Just a thought. Has anyone tried this and is it likely to work? Or will I just get insane camera blur....? (A tripod won't be practical for this)

Just when I thought everything was all nice and ok, I just notice a blob of dust on my pics. Not too big, but prominent on anything to do with sky.

And now that is all I can see. This stuff gets everywhere.......... The only major drawback of DSLR cameras...........

Now to go back through everything I've taken for the last month and try the touch up method on iPhoto.......

Hi,

As posted earlier I'm having a "rationalisation" of my kit and am offering these here first as they are Pentax! I have owned and used the kit offered and everything is fully functional and in good condition.

First up is a ME Super in excellent condition with only one small chip on the viewfinder surround that I admit was my fault. Fully working and includes original box and instruction manual. Even has the plastic sticky cover on the base of the camera! Very nice camera, but just not being used enough I'm afraid...

I'm thinking £35 posted to mainland UK for this.

Secondly is a Pentax M 80-200 mm zoom lens with front and rear caps with no fungus or dust internally. Very clean and in very good condition. I have found I don't really use long lenses in my photography so I'm letting this one go.

I'm not sure about the value of these, as it seems to vary wildly, but I'll accept £40 delivered to UK mainland.

Last in this list is a Vivitar MC Zoom 28-70mm 1:3.4-4.8 manual focus lens in PK mount. I've only used this a couple of times but is good for close focusing as it has "Macro" focusing scale. Good condition and very clean with an all metal construction. Unfortunately just have a front cap for this as back cap is in use.

£16 delivered would seem fair.

Thanks for looking! Reasonable offers would be considered prior to listing on eBay.

Yep, aiming for evilBay, just considering my plan of attack. Have quite a few lenses......

Possibly only keeping my 2 Spotmatics, an F70 and a Program A for film use. So almost pure Pentax!

I've decided to have a clear out of some bits and pieces that aren't getting much use and was wondering as I haven't really sold much camera gear before (only bought) whether it's better to split up the lenses and sell these seperately or to offer as a whole package?

Most of this is non-Pentax gear so not appropriate to offer on here. One is a full Olympus kit with the classic prime set. Hence I'm wondering.....

I was using a Spotmatic F up Mam Tor yesterday. I have two and rotate them with my other film cameras.

TBH I get ok images, but still have quite a bit to learn with photography in general! SO not perfect but often showing some interesting character in comparison to the dSLR.

Both cameras probably need a service but are still really nice to use and the open aparture metering really makes a difference......

I've never dared take the K200 above ISO 400........ It does like bright days, the poorer light really doesn't help it at all. Another idea is a Kx for dark times? Try and pick up a decent 2nd hand one?
