If anyone has the above lens for sale, please contact me. Must be in good condition.

Note, I am specifically after the K version, not the M/A/F/FA etc versions.

Thanks, Kris.

Even if I could afford it I'd need someone to teach me how to use it! It would be fun down at my sister's in Cornwall with very low light pollution. The howling gales might be a problem though...!

I rather like it on my MX or ME Super when I want a small and pocketable film camera. It always feels/looks a bit too small on the K-3iii.

I have all the K primes bar the 100 macro and the 1000mm. Let me know if you want to borrow any.

I looked for a long time to get mine! It's a bargain price!

I'm a similar story only my first proper camera was an ME Super. I almost defected to Canon but the K10D came out just in time to save me from that error.

I've never bought from MPB (so I have no experience of them) as the service I've had from SRS is always so great, why would I? I have a similar deal with my bike shop. They aren't the cheapest around but they go out of their way to be helpful and provide good service, and I trust them. Trust (especially when riding a motorcycle!) is worth more than a couple of quid saved.

I know, terrible habit from my ME Super days when I would take a photo and automatically wind on. Of course, the never-ready case stopped accidental exposures. It is a hard habit to break though (and believe me I have tried). Muscle memory is both a wonderful thing and sometimes a pain (says the person who keeps beeping his new motorcycle's horn because the button is where the indicators were on the old one...).

I always said I wouldn't get a K1000 because it was over-hyped and over-priced. Last year I was given one, which I then got serviced. On the whole, I rather like it; solid, simple, unfussy. In fact I like it more than I thought I would. My only gripes are (a) no shutter lock. I keep getting frames of the inside of my camera bag. (b) no DOF preview. It won't supplant my love of the MX, but it is not as dire as I thought it would be (and is surprisingly easy to focus even without a split screen). I have a couple if KMs I rarely use, mainly because the film advance on one of the them (my original one) is a bit rough. I think I'll send it off for a service and try using it a bit more.

Older slides in my collection I scan myself. I was talking about new film which I have scanned along with the development. I'm always rather disappointed with the colours compared to Ektar. I've used three different labs.
