Canon had a f/0.95 lens for their Canon 7 rangefinder in the late 1950s/early 1960s. The two items as a kit were called the "Canon Dream".

In practice, I have seen very few, if an, images that actually look good with the zero depth of field that we get around f/1.

Fair enough Gwyn, but if you feel inclined to vote that would be a vote presumably for the K-3?

I have a few items that I'm offering here first.


First up is a worn but fully operational ME Super body. The metal top and bottom plates are heavily worn, even worn right through in a couple of places. However, it works and could be useful in high roisk environments where it is expendible, such as caving.
The lens is the SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 and it's in very nice condition. operating smoothly, clear glass and cosmetically excellent.
The two items together priced at £30 plus £5 towards UK postage. Total £35.00



This is the MV plus SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2 lens. Lovely throughout except for one small fungus spot in the lens. Excellent spare body, that lens fungus needs attention.
The two items together priced at £20 plus £5 towards UK postage. Total £25.00



MV-1 plus SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2 lens. The description of the lens just like the previous one, with that one spot of fungus again. The body has wear on the paint on metal parts, but fully operational and usable.
This package priced also at £20 plus £5 towards UK postage. Total £25.00



ME Winder II in very nice condition. Thankfully stored without batteries in it.
Priced at £10 plus £5 towards UK postage. Total £15.00

There may be some more items soon, but that's it for now. Any questions, please ask.

I was just interested in how many would choose one or the other, so choose the one you would buy now if you didn't have a K-3 already.

I didn't vote for me, but I voted for Sue, who said she definitely wanted a flash built in.

Now it's back.

A whiteout at the moment, the picture is "no longer available"?

The SR system has been upgraded, which perhaps is what makes the high resolution mode possible.

The Like button has been working fine, but it isn't tonight. I'll ask IT to look at it tomorrow.

If we're in a hurry, it's nice to be able to just show appreciation without having to post a message. It's just a "thumbs up" of approval. Maybe a full comment isn't always necessary?

It's a good shot, although I'm not sure why it would cause any difficulties. If you like your images darker, then you could leave some negative exposure compensation switched in.
