My original ME Super had the gold Made in Japan checked sticker on it.

The 100mm f/2.8 is one of my favourite lenses. Stopped down a little it is as sharp as the K 135mm f/2.5, opened up wide it is nice for portraits, i.e., slightly soft in the right sort of way. John Riley mentioned it was one of his favourite lenses in his film days which spurred me to try it out. This series of images was shot with this lens.

Best wishes, Kris.

They are fine for powerpoint type bullet point presentations but photos are not that good on them. I used to use them until the Uni fitted data projectors in all the lecture halls (about five years after the infant school had them fitted in all the classrooms!).

My two black Pentax ME Supers. The one on the left is fitted with a SMC-M 100mm f/2.8 lens with a Pentax 49mm polariser and an original hood. The one on the right is fitted with a SMC-M 50mm f/2 lens, the first lens I ever owned. It is also fitted with an original Pentax hard plastic screw on hood but that is a recent acquisition.

Good news about the K5 focus speed. I won't be getting one any time soon but if it shuts the moaning minnies up I'll be happy

Very nice indeed. The 28mm f/3.5 is a lovely lens indeed, I am very pleased with mine. I too went and bought the proper square hood, with case.

Given they ES and ESII do not meter in manual I shouldn't like mine (an ES) as much as I do, but I am very fond of it and of the four screw mount cameras I use it is the only one that sees regular outings.

I remember reading about this sensor in New Scientist or one of those when it was just a gleam in a scientist's eye. It is one to watch.

The main use for ISO80 as far as I can see is to allow longer shutter speeds in order to blur moving water etc., a sort of alternative to using ND filters. The only time I drop to ISO 100 on my K20 is when it is so bright that I'd have to use very small apertures and I'd rather be using something nearer to the optimum aperture for the lens.

Well it is going for a lot less than the real thing!
