thanks guys, take on-board, may shoot a few rolls and develop a b/w film or two just to check out the meter and how good my 55mm takimar is ,may even get an adaptor for my K100D and check out my 55mm f2 on that,if any-one has done that be interested to see the results.

Ihave been a user of pentax cameras now for quite a while,after falling out of love with canon, when the fd lenses finished in favor of newer lenses,Ilove my pentax ,yes only a k100d ,but its both won me competitions and had loads of images published in photo-mags ,and Ican use ordinary AA batterys when Im out in the field,Ive even started to collect older cameras ,starting with a mint sp 500 and standard 55mm f2 takumar ,lovely solid bit of kit,pity though it cant some-how be converted to take digital images.if anyone knows how let me know.
