The most prevelent negative commit I saw was there's no instant video recording button. I guess moving the mode dial to movie is too difficult or time consuming.

Thanks Steve,

What confused the issue is that the viewfinder info light was working (dimmly flickering - but it was always like that), but nothing else.

LOL Algi - I admit to sometimes getting the urge to pop the back open to check there's a film loaded! The only thing worse than inadvertently exposing a roll of film to the light, is getting to shot 36 and deciding to wind the film back and realising from the slackness of the film winder that there's nothing inside

As long as you keep the film tight in the cassette you can check film advance from rotation of the rewind knob or the film run indicator (red & white stripes) on cameras fitted with it.

I've recently acquired one of these, does anybody know if there was a cover over the DC 6v pins?

Spotted in a newsagent recently, one of the photo mags had the following headline on the cover "Use film lenses on your DSLR", didn't realise it was so unusual!

I agree with womble, it's more fun (and hard to describe).

Thanks Steve, I didn't know the back would fit an ME Super (I thought the databacks were different). I don't plan on breaking it up, I want to see whether it's repairable first.

EDIT: It lives...

Having another look at it, and fiddling with the battery cover some more, it now works. No idea exactly what was different (possibly the battery cover wasn't screwed down far enough - although previously it wouldn't go any further).

After only having a DSLR for a few months, I'm currently shooting more film than digital. Once I'd filled my hard drive, the archiving just became too difficult and time consuming. My cost for mono film, processing and scanning is around £15 a roll, which works out about 40p a shot, a small price to pay to get the negs and a CD.

I've just seen how much GR1's are going for on ebay...

some silly buy-it-now prices but bids around the £200 mark!

Ironically the strap is probably worth a £5 on its own (if Pentax). Things like hotshoe and viewfinder covers often have similarly high Buy-it-now prices (don't know if they sell).
