Is it the later model with mirror lock-up?

Thanks, Kris.

There is a A* 1200 for sale on ebay... only it has fungus! Still a bargain at $4500.

Look forward to seeing some shots Gareth, maybe I will see you at RIAT next week

The one thing I did like about the 50-500mm was that you could do this with it ... just managed to squeeze it in @ 50mm. If another HSM OS version came up I would be seriously tempted I think.

My latest purchase. A Pentax PC35AF-M from 1984. It cost a whopping £2 from a bric-a-brac stall at the local country fair, including two working AA batteries! I quadrupled its value by putting a film in it.

It would still fit. Pentax have only had two sizes of viewfinder, K-series and before, and M series and after.

Might not be "original" but probably works OK.

Just checked my K-3 which I bought in October 2014. It's at 22,696 so has a way to go yet. Fingers crossed: I've never had the problem mentioned. It has worked flawlessly since I have had it. Hopefully, that's not its death knell.

Given my only "full frame" cameras are manual focus I'll stick to one of my collection of "vintage" nifty fifties. I'm glad there are new lenses coming out, however, if only to show the brand isn't dead in the water.
