Fascinating question and interesting information but nothing I can say to add to it. Is there a possibility the shutter speed dial is not original? Did S2s have an unmarked speed above 500 as some other models did?

I have prints and a scan made simply because I like to have the prints. It does cost more though! Shop done scans are quite variable so I'm afraid I pay through the nose for a "pro" lab like The Darkroom UK.
Have fun, I love the ME Super, little buttons and all.
Cheers, Kris.

I played with one at the SRS open day. Unfortunately, clashing with the rugby, the football and St Patrick's day meant there were very few people there when I was there.
As someone who wasn't really interested in a CSC of any make, I was actually pleasantly surprised with the K-01. The screen was excellent and it was very easy to manually focus an A series lens on it (I made them get an old lens out of the window display!), the autofocus was quick, the new pancake lens ludicrously thin, and it was easy to hold. The last was quite a surprise as I suspected the brick like design would be uncomfortable. The controls are easy to use and familiar to Pentax users. It certainly impressed me more in the flesh than it did on paper.
I'm not in the market to buy a new digital camera of any sort/make at the moment, but I would certainly consider a K-01 more seriously having handled one than I did previously.
Not quite an owners review, but possibly better than nothing.
I also played with a Q and it's five lenses (really cute) and a 645D (oh I wish!).
Cheers, Kris.

I look for those but mainly because I get the open aperture metering with the ES/ESII with them. In my opinion it's worth seeking out the Super-Multi-Coated (SMC) Taks, as the multicoating makes a real visible difference (which is why it was such a breakthrough at the time).

You could also check out "darktable" which I believe is the shareware/freeware version of lightroom. I have no experience of it myself.

I've done the same with my FED2. One feels a little sheepish when you realise...

I have a few films that I won't use for a few months and I've read that they should be refridgerated. But as well as the normal film cases, should I seal them in a ziplock plastic bag, or does it not matter?
Thanks
