Will be grateful if readers can give me information on the following:
1. Is the case for the K2 the same as that of the K1000
2. When did Pentax started using "Plastic Body", did it start with the P30
Regards

Hi All,
Thanks for the feedback. About a year ago I bought a Sigma 50mm, 2.8 DG Macro from someone in my village who was changing over to Canon but not before trying it on my ME & K2. It has an aperture ring and I was quite happy with the results, have posted a couple of shots on the gallery.
I will be getting a K7 in the not to distant future and I thought either of these 2 lenses will suite me for handheld & travel photography, mind you even if I have a DSLR, the ME & K2 will be in constant use.
I beleive that these 2 lenses do have an aperture ring and price wise they may be comparable to or cheaper than 2nd hand lenses, as per Amazon.fr they are priced at 135€ & 146€ so I thought an opportunity not to be missed, Regards

Good evening Members
Trying to decide between a Tamron LD 4 - 5.6, 70 - 300 mm DI P AF and a Sigma 10 - 300, f4 -5.6 DG Maceo to go with my ME super & K2. Any expert advise and opinion from forum members will be greatly appreciated. The prices of these 2 lenses have been reduced in Amazon.fr, Regards

Hi All,
Joined not that long ago and hoping to learn a lot of pointers on photography from all Pentax followers.
My 1st camera was a Kodak Box Camera given to me by my father some 60 odd years ago. Until recently when I retired, my photography was limited to recording my family life and evants related to my family.
With everyone of my family going their own way, I can now get down to what I've always love, serious photography and enjoy doing it.
I take most of my photos with an ES II, ME super, K2 & SP500, unless when there is no time to think or focus, I count on my 7 Megapixel Sony cybershot. I hope eventually to get a K7 when the price drops further.
Happy Shooting and regards to all Pentax lovers

Many thanks for your valued information, saw an advertisment for a K1000 case and am thinking of getting it for my K2. Am I correct to say that since the K2, KX, KM & K1000 all came out about the same period, perhaps their dimensions are about the same, plus or minus a couple of mm. The photo of the case for sale has no specific marking, just Asahi Pentax in front cover, can it be that the K series share the same case.
Thank you dangermouse, a photo of your KM with the case will be greatly appreciated. When out on my ramblings, I usually like to use only the lower half of the case for ease of picture taking as well as giving the back some form of protection.
Seen also a Super A for sale and hoping that the top and botton plate are of metal, Hove Collector's Guide does not mention anything about it.
Best Regards
Oso
