Last spring I bought a sad little ME Super & lens on ebay for US$50. It was supposed to be a knock-around body I could just keep in the glove box in the car... no worries. The lens was listed on the auction as an 50mm f2. When the camera arrived, the lens turned out to be a K50 f1.2. That's how I came by my second f1.2.
Hate me if you must, but I could do without it.
