Am I imagining things or is this camera just an ordinary K1000 that someone has stuck some leatherette onto the pentaprism?

Dunno. Seems an odd thing to do. I don't post my Lubitel shots on here for exactly that reason. The scanned film shots do come up with some odd stuff in the EXIF though.

For me, the greater significance of this lens is whether Pentax really have put an end to the SDM fiasco or whether (as one DPR Forums cynic suggested) they have just renamed SDM in an attempt to avoid the technology's shoddy reputation.
If you can be bothered to look at the patent posted in another thread you can see clearly it is a completely new motor.For me, the greater significance of this lens is whether Pentax really have put an end to the SDM fiasco or whether (as one DPR Forums cynic suggested) they have just renamed SDM in an attempt to avoid the technology's shoddy reputation.

All this talk of AF speeds etc. reminded me of where it all began for Pentax.
The Pentax ME-F fitted with a ME II winder and a AF35-70mm lens. The lens was a dedicated AF lens for this camera, and the first one made by Pentax. It was not a successful design, however, and it was some years before Pentax introduced their F series lenses. This example, which I managed to obtain from South Africa thanks to Greg, is sadly a display item only: the focusing is jammed solid. The camera, however, is in lovely working condition and has recently been serviced by Harrow Technical.
The picture was taken with a K20D and a K 50mm f/1.2 lens.
Cheers, Kris.
