New subject: Rolleifles SL35 E
AFAIK the SL 35 has a mechanical shutter, so dirty contacts and/or dead battery will not be the cause.

Re: AF 2.8 35-70mm
Thank you Todd for your reference. I checked the site, did put in fresh batteries and used my multimeter in resistor mode and guess what? This beatiful heavyweight works!

Re: Strange Pentax Skylight Filter
You have something special at hand! No serious, this filter was only offered by Asahi Pentax (AFAIK). It avoids inner reflections in the lens compared to using a flat filter. It is most effective with short focal lengths. It has no magnifying power at all and can be used in any case where you would use a regular skylight filter.
