Looks like I found a good 'un then. I have some shots in the can-time to get some developed. I think I have too many cameras!

I'm trying very,very hard not to accumalate too much gear-the 28 should compete my SLR outfit, and I want to keep the Leica/rangefinder as a "car/carry" setup. If I see a wonderful Pentax lens..I am afraid of what I may do!

I'm beginning to find the Pentax lenses to be as good as the Leica lenses I have-so when I decided to get a wider lens, this seemed the way to go.
That 28/2 is 4 times the price of the 3.5!!

I found a 2 and a 3.5 M series while searching-I'll let you know what I get. The 2 is a lot more money...

Hi-I'm on the hunt for a K-mount 28mm lens. What is the opinion of the board as to which one to get?
I've read the 28/3.5 is a good one.

Well, I took a bit of advice from the SLR section of this forum, and rotated the compensation and film-speed dial a few times, and shot another roll. Everything worked fine-I just don't know if the problem was dirt in the dial (the camera had sat a while) or an old roll of film.

Thanks once again. I'll test it today.
As a side note-yesterday I took a "new to me" old rangefinder camera with no meter out for a stroll, testing my ability to use "sunny 16", and had that roll developed along with the film from the MEF. Imagine my surprise when the meterless exposures were all perfect-and the auto ones were al bad!

Thank you for the repy. I think the batteries may be on the way out. I'm aware of the possibility of skyshots causing trouble, but I don't think that accounts for it.
Are there symptoms of electronic failure besides bad exposures?
Thank you,
Aaron

Hello,
I've noticed my MEF will, when used in AE mode, will often underexpose. It seems to happen in most conditions, but never in flash (where exposure is manual).
There is no indication of low batteries, though these are fairly old. Has this ben a problem for anyone else?
