I'll take it (too late I suspect!)

Great photo by the way.

I've struggled to get beyond the FA 50/1.7 as it isn't a focal length I use much on digital. Let us know how you get on with your new arrival.

A little cleaning under the shutter speed dial and the aperture coupling might also help. I have had similar issues with a KX film body.

It used to. No harm in asking. K.
The discount still applied earlier this year when I had some work done. Great job too.

I'll dig around. I think these are the same as Hoyarex?

The Rikenons have a good following, and still go for good money, especially in Japan. There may be more image qualityt differences due to sample variation and how a lens has been treatwd over the years. Having said that, Pentax did something special when formulating the SMC coatings and you may see more difference in more challenging shooting condtions - high contrast or against the light/ side lightiging.

Wider aperture/brighter lenses are helpful. I have just picked up a Kr. The viewfindr is noticeably dimmer than my K10d and istDS. A split image screen might be helpful for manual focus, as well as the in camera rangefinder.
