My entry to the last fortnightly competition was with the K 85mm 2.2 soft

And that's another specialist lens that is an exception! There are a few odds and ends like that which have no current equivalents at all.

I will send to Italy and everything of any real value is sent Signed For and with the appropriate extra insurance. Most things arrive promptly and without hassle.

I suppose the question is whether or not any risk is more than compensated for by increased business.

I think there's been a trend away from using K and M lenses, most of us preferring to use A series onwards.

Of course there are some lenses that are useful anyway, and mirror lenses may well be one type that is worth the extra process needed.

It's a picture with instant appeal, but I like it less as I look at it more. The biggest problem for me is the expression on the model's face.

Now it's back, why not use it? You're part of a great community here as well and it would seem a pity to lose you to some other place.

After all, there's nothing wrong with a K20D and the Pentax lenses are superb, so why change?

Judges can also judge in a style and at a length that they feel comfortable with. That competition is theirs. The only requirement is that something is said!

So do we have a group Photo for the two days?

If the lens has a rotary lever on the mount for open-aperture metering, which an SMC one should, then it won't budge and shouldn't unless fitted to a stop-down metering Spotmatic.

The lens is intended for the Spotmatic F and the A/M lever is not needed except for earlier bodies. Don't try to force it, but fit it to a Spotmatic or Spotmatic II (or derivatives) and then it will move.

Thank you, missed the point. I'll get back to you ASAP.

RR, which competition did you try to enter? Just select the comp, click "Enter Competition" and fill in the form. If it doesn't appear straight away in the competition then the upload failed in some way. Don't forget to fill in all the sections and look for any fault messages if something's wrong.
