I have done comparisons at all apertures with 2 manual + 2 autofocus lens manually. Only the manual primes give me problems. Both primes are bayonet mount. I have used o right angle magnifier on the view finder, I have checked the diopter setting. I am now going to set the lens/newspaper distance according to the barrel markings and try Bob's idea.
You still haven't answered mikew's question. Are these M42 screw thread primes, or bayonet?
Best wishes, Kris.

Geotagging wont interest me its bad enough with "sat nav" taking me round in circles.
Geotagging sorts that problem, if it's implemented properly.

FF? Not for me. keep the same sensor and PRIME engine, just improve everything else.
Oh, and get rid of live view. P&S cameras might need it, DSLRs don't.

I have had a couple of occasions where the camera with lens has either hit something, or been dropped (strap breaking)

ahh ok - so effectively the P30 was an A3 minus motorwind + manual mode.
The P30 has a max shutter speed of 1/1000 and no TTL flash control. It's exposure modes are limited to P & M and has a range of only 1-18EV compared to 20 or 21 for most of the other Pentax film SLR's.
As such, it's one of the least capable Pentax cameras and therefore not worth very much. In fact, if it has a new battery fitted, sadly the battery might fetch more than the camera.

Sorry Peter - crossed in post
ME Super - I did consider getting a spares or repairs but figured the plate might be as bad. Can you get new-ish ones with certainty anywhere?
