Thanks for replies. I completely understand the crop comment re the 50-135 v 70-200 but these guys are also shooting crop sensors !
That's because having a similar FOV is not the same as actual magnification. I have just left my 50-135mm in the UK and brought a 70-200mm to Oz as the 135mm end was not long enough.Thanks for replies.

I did some test shots inside York minster last week with a new body. High ISO and using a 24-70mm f/2.8 I'm well pleased.
If you’re using lenses slower than f/2.8 then a K5 would be a huge benefit for low light shots.
Hi ISO, low noise and fast glass greatly increases your exposure range available for use.
I see lots of wedding shoots here at the coast on weekends. Even with great light, outdoors, the 70-200 is widely used.
The 16-50mm f/2.8 is a great lens. A 70-200mm would be a better compliment to it than a 50-135mm - IMO.

I received a DSLR body from SRS.
Service was superb. Had a chat with Chris prior to giving up a card number.
Top service, great price and could not recommend them more highly.

No issues with my 50-135. It's not going back to Oz however as I find it a bit short on reach. A 70-200 /f2.8 is going back.
Although the 50-135 is a close FOV to a 70-200, it doesn't have that extra pulling power of course.
I am taking the 100mm macro back and leaving the 50mm macro here.

Someone must have made a commercial version. Your going to need a motordrive anyway and they have an electric release so the ones for digital cameras might work such as Yongnuo RF-602 about £20 or get a camera with an electric release such as an SFX
The term "older film cameras" and looking at the gear profile of MX and ME Super sort of made me suggest as above. If a winder is fitted then even better but those to fit the MX/ME don't have electric release.Someone must have made a commercial version.

Maybe its not for either?

This sounds like you need a 12v or 5v solenoid coupled to a threaded cable release. Then a means of the wireless triggering of the solenoid.
Consider a cheap 2 channel radio control set. Mount the receiver and battery on a plate that is sandwiched between the camera base and tripod. The servo can be mounted directly over the shutter button or at the end of the screw in cable release.
Range is enormous and will also work with digital.
Just a thought.

I'm not sure now whether these are made from broken lenses or made specifically as cups which look like lenses? If the latter, they may need to beware of CaNikon legal types depending on how close the designs are to the real thing.
Designs are very close. I got em both as Xmas presents. Just need a Pentax version now. Roll on Xmas 2014.I'm not sure now whether these are made from broken lenses or made specifically as cups which look like lenses?

True wealth is with friendship Gareth. I doubt Roman has too many true friends. I am trying to get access to Kamchatka next year.
Visa's are difficult if you want freedom to roam. Tourist visa's are easy but expensive, as you are bound to hotels an tours.
I have family there and it's still an effort.
