My camera bag changes regularly depending on my mood, what film I have, where I am going and all that. Recently (as some will have noticed from Flickr) I have been having a bit of an ES/ESII phase.




Pentax ES fitted with a SMC Takumar 55/1.8 lens and a Pentax hood (although a K series era one), loaded with B&W film.

Pentax ES II fitted with a S-M-C Takumar 28mm f/3.5 lens and colour film.

S-M-C Takumar 135mm f/3.5 and hood, S-M-C Takumar 200mm f/4 and hood.

Various filters, mainly Pentax and a close-up lens.

Cheers, Kris.

Beautifully sharp and well lit. Excellent stuff. K.

I like the first one in the way the bloom in focus is mirrored by the one in the background. Nicely done.

Highly recommend this lens, it's one hell of a piece of glass.




Good luck with the sale.

Pentax ES, S-M-C Takumar 200mm f/4 lens, Rollei Retro 80S film.

We don't have anyone quite up to Eric, but Robin at Harrow Technical is pretty close. Certain cameras, such as the ES/ESII only Eric seems to be able to handle partly because he appears to have cornered the world's supply of spare parts for them. Robin has serviced/fixed my LX, MX, ME Super, KM and ME-F. My ESII made the trip to the US and back and is now working fine.

Information about accessories is much harder to get than the cameras and lenses themselves. The brown cases are very early ones. My S-M-C Takumar 28mm f/3.5 comes with a green lined case and Takumar 3.5/28 on the lid.

I think this is the sort of thing you'd have to collate information about from anyone willing to answer then come up with your own dating scheme!

You have to leave a space between the eight and the bracket, i.e., 8.8 ). Annoying, I know.

K.

Best bet is to ring or email Harrow Technical and ask Robin.
