I got lucky on ebay last week and bought a Super A + Takumar macro zoom for £36. I will be lucky to get a fiver for the zoom, but the Super A is... well.... just super. Apart from a missing cover for the winder connection on the baseplate, it looks like it was unboxed yesterday. Absolutely mint. Works like a dream too. I have always wanted a Super A and am over the moon with this.
keep looking George, there is one out there somewhere with your name on it.
I don't believe it has a winder cover. I thought the same when I got mine to find that they didn't have one unlike the ME Super etc.I got lucky on ebay last week and bought a Super A + Takumar macro zoom for £36.

Having slowly built-up a collection of K-series primes, starting with the low hanging fruit, this certainly peaks my interest but at present it is a little too far up the tree for me. One day... oh yes, one day...

File size and computer power is something to consider when buying one of these powerful new cameras. I guess full frame is even more demanding.

Glad to hear it. I was very fond of that camera, although I'll admit to be quite attached to my K3. I don't know why I was never so happy with the K20, somehow the images never seemed that sharp. My only complaint with the K3 is the size of the files. I've had to invest in a 4TB raid array...!bwlchmawr wrote:
What a great story, Pete. These 1960s SLRs look special, don't they? [quote:3496ace15f="womble"]What an excellent story. Have fun with your reunion. I wonder who has my MX which was stolen on the Paris Metro a few years back...?
I don't know about that, Kris, but I'm happy to report that your old K10D is still working well.What a great story, Pete. These 1960s SLRs look special, don't they?

I used to use Flickr until their "upgrade" about three years ago which was an utter mess. I hated it so much I migrated to Ipernity. I've been very happy with their service but they never attracted enough users and they have recently announced they are probably going to close-down unless they can find someone to buy them out.
This means that once again I am looking for a photo-hosting site. Flickr is still a pug-ugly mess although all my images up to three years ago are still there (although not publicly visible). I have my own website, but that is really for a smaller number of the nicer images whereas I used Ipernity / Flickr for posting/sharing all sorts of images, not just the good ones.
Any recommendations? I'd like something like the old Flickr / Ipernity (i.e., not the PITA endless scrolling which so many sites seem to think is a good idea, heaven knows why!).
Many thanks, Kris.

At least you'll be hungry by the time you get up there to cook...
