Gee, I've never had a single problem with my LX. In fact, I've never had a

I am looking for an SMC M or A 85mm f2 (k mount).
Do any of you have an inclination to sell an extra you may have. There is
nothing on the net to speak of at the moment.

Did you have the "junk film" in it for the manual metering ???

Bill,
I've done my share of mechanical repairs/rebuilds.
You want to see my connecting rods?
(My '61 Sunbeam Alpine that became a flowerpot around '71.)
But for the lens repairs, I dragged out the HO train tools.
Fine motor skills vs the more gross motor skills, I suppose.
Regards, Bob S.

I'd love to meet you Mike, but unfortunatelly I'm still in the middle of the
first chapter of my Ma thesis, and have no time to travel :(
Anyway - have a good time in Kraków, it's a beautiful city.

Lukasz

I believe it will fit, but perhaps require slight compensation (-1/3
perhaps).

Have a nice trip, Ann (is it me, or does it sound a bit suspicious?)! Be
sure to take some photographs, and buy some bargain Pentax gear on the way
:)

Thank you so much, Andre, for your kind comments on my Spring Reflections
photo. Had the slide enlarged to a 11 x 14 (or thereabouts) print and
entered it in a local competition several weeks ago, and it took second
place. It's really strange, isn't it, that some shots that you take lots of
time
Hi, andre,
Well, the Soligor 2.5-3.5 35-70 zoom would only be rare insofar as I
doubt that many people got sucked into buying one
Seriously, no they aren't rare at all. I see them on eBay on a
semi-regular basis. I'm guessing that they're around 20 or 25 years
old. I paid $20US for mine, but
Well, I've gone and done it.
I'm now a member of the "little brotherhood" in addition to the "big
brotherhood".
I purchased an LX this evening. S/N 532. Hardly a mark on it (a few
scratches on the bottom).
I can't get over how light this thing is. It handles really well with
the SMCP
