Does the AF still work with the ME-F? Many of these lenses no longer have functioning AF. I know, as my version is no more than a paperweight. Ohhhh this is so tempting...!

Having picked up some nice equipment from people who have inherited gear they don't want, etc., I don't mind newbies coming here to sell equipment. After all, if you'd just inherited a relatives loved Pentax gear wouldn't you rather sell it to someone who would appreciate it and use it?
It might be helpful to have updated selling guidelines, and I do feel that unpleasant comments are not really needed. If you don't trust someone, ask questions in PM. I've often just passed on things I might like simply because there is something about the advert I don't trust. Sometimes striking up a 'conversation' with the seller resolves the questions.

The M85 is a lovely lens. I was holding out for a K85 but then I saw an M for a bargain price and couldn't resist. Having got it, I now wonder what took me so long. It's rarely off whichever camera I am using at the moment. Highly recommended.
I hope your sale goes well.

I use Kodak Ektar 100 and BW400CN film a great deal so I am more than pleased to see a little good news for the firm. I have a roll or two of Kodachrome 64 I kept as a museum piece. It just so happens I'm wearing my Dwayne's Photo "End of Kodachrome" tee shirt as I write...

Manual focus yes, but as it is an A series lens it will work with the various auto exposure modes.LennyBloke wrote:

Mate . How would this work on a K-r ? Am i correct in saying manual focus ? Would it have to be used in manual mode only ? Price reduction - How about £29.95 (plus P&P)
I'm after a cheap prime just to try one out

All between £10 and £20 looking at recent completed ebay sales.
I'd be interested in hearing about the other cameras even if they aren't Pentax!
