Thank you to all who have responded. This evening I took a deep breath and swapped over the mounting ring, spring steel insert and lens release catch from a "parts" ME Super to the one with the "stiffness" malaise.

On initial tests, the problem seems to have transferred to the "parts" ME Super with those components. More info as and when further testing is completed.

Thank you Don for your input - there are no dents or sign of damage.

Havng done a few quick tests, the Sigma lens fits as expected (smoothly) on an MZ-M and LX; but is a little tight on another ME Super.

The Pentax SMC-M and A lenses mount smoothly on different bodies.

Thank you each for responding to my post -
- good Point John,
- did as you suggested Hefty, none were proud
- locking pin free to move , Don

I acquired a black ME Super with Sigma mini wide 28mm; I notice that my Pentax - M and A lenses are VERY hard to mount to this camera (a great deal of torque is needed to overcome the "spring" pressure when adding or removing lenses. There is no visible damage and the Sigma lens that it came with doesn't need anything like the torque that the Pentax lenses do. The same lenses mount "normally" to my other Pentax Bodies. Any comments or input would be welcome.

I acquired this recently. My question is would the legs originally have had caps or tips on them? The images of the tripod I found (already on here) didn't. Here is the one I have link

Have a look at the wording in this ad by a self confessed long term Nikon and Leica user:-

this was brought to you by a long term Pentax user!

Thank you very much for the socket cover Malcolm , it arrived today!

This is my first attempt at a classified ad on here - in a bid to cut down on 50mms (making room for more focal lengths), I am letting 2 less used ones go. I have owned the 50mm SMC-M F2 since 1982 but hardly ever use it. I bought the SMC-A F2 in 2010, before I had really tried M Mode on the K100D, used it for 2 months (then acquired a SMC-M 1.4 50mm and found that I preferred using the 1.4 on the K100D).

Both lenses are in used but good condition; there are no scratches dents of scuffs to the glass or the lens bodies. Aperture leaves as seen from both front and back seem free from oil. The glass looks fungus free to me (when held up to the light of a torch, I can see a few dust particles in the SMC-M, nothing in the SMC-A).

I have no feed back on here but have 100% positive feedback on ebay (two_gun_pete - 60 Star). If anyone buys one of these and feels it is significantly not as described I will refund them minus shipping costs.

I am asking £50 for the SMC-A , £35 for the SMC-M.

Both come with 49mm Skylight filter, Pentax (rubber push-on not centre pinch )front cap & generic but made to fit pentax rear cap.

P&P included in UK mainland.
