Hi guys and gals!
I have managed to be lucky enough to be given an early Christmas present from my partner's Dad! Lucky me has been enabled with all of the following items, all in MINT condition,and even in their original boxes, with leather cases etc.
1 x Spotmatic - fully working, in perfect condition. 1 x Super Takumar - 50mm f1.4 lens 1 x Super Takumar - 135mm f3.5 lens (i think, could be faster tho, haven't seen it yet)
There is an f/2.5 version. Very nice lens.
1 x Super Takumar - 28mm f3.5 lens
Anyone know anything about screw mount adapters that I may be able to use with the *istD for these lenses? Is it even possible? Anyone know how the hell to use a Spotmatic?! Any good Spotmatic links floating around?!
TIA, Tan. :)

Most anything you coud think of here!
No doubt it will try your patience, but almost anything you'd want to know is somewhere in those three URLs.
There are M-42 to K-mount adapters, made by Pentax, that physically allow you to mount a Takumar lens onto a bayonet body, but I'll leave that explanation to *ist-D owners to cover. I don't have one, and there are limitations, especially with regard to any "automatic" function. They would have to be used manually.
I suspect you'll tire of that quickly...
Anyhow, good luck. That's a wonderful gift!
