Smeggy: whenever I see that image of yours I'm surprised it was shot at f/1.2. I have a feeling my K50/1.2 would be softer wide open. Still, it was the nifty fifty I took as one of my film primes for this trip I (I opted for the K17 fisheye, M20/4, K28/3.5, K50/1.2, M85/2 and K135/2.5). My only regret in that choice is ending up with filters in 49mm, 52mm and 58mm!

May I ask what is it about your Tamron 70-300 F4-5.6 DiLD that could be better, I'm sure the Pentax 55-300 is a good lens but it might be worth checking that it will be a £236 improvement before handing over the cash.I keep thinking that I want to get a better telephoto lens to replace my Tamron 70-300 F4-5.6 DiLD.

£130 is far too low. I'd expect a minimum of £250.

Hmmm. I'll have to try this on the ME Super which belonged to my father. It too is "jammed." While I have another, black, ME Super I'd like to be able to use this one out of sentiment. I also have his AsahiFlex, the one with 1/2 to 1/500 shutter along with its 50mm 3.5, a 35mm, and the 83mm f1.9, along with extension tubes, bellows, etc. He was an amateur botanist and shot many wildflower pictures. The AsahiFlex needs repair, too.

The Pentax ESII (1973-1975) has a built-in viewfinder blind to solve this problem. The only problem with it is the panic that ensues when you have forgotten about it and are wondering why the viewfinder is completely dark.
