Hi folks,
I bought those annuals from Italian Pentax importers for many years, but now

Is anyone aware of the availability of this annual anywhere in the world?
Perhaps thay have stopped publishing it...

When you run the film through the film processor, the cassette sits in a
little spring loaded cup while the machine pulls the film out of the
cassette. When the film is pulled fully out, the tension pulls the
cassette the cup down against a switch that
Every lens is sharp at f8 or f11. The difference between the Big Boys
and the others are how sharp it is wide open. (Yes, all will be less
sharp than they are at f/8 but comparing the performance wide open is
what you are really paying for).

Very nice capture Dan but The top OOF portion is irrelevant IMO. A much

I have both of those, I paid quite a bit less for the K 135 f2.5 and a
bit more for the M 85mm f2.0 They are easily worth the money asked if
they're in good condition. I use the 85mm in low light a lot, so I'm
often shooting wide open in low light, in Av mode so I don't miss the

The M 85 was designed as a portrait lens, maximum sharpness and
resolution isn't the highest priority in lens indented for that useee.
That said I find it more than sharp enough stopped down a bit on film,
and the center is a bit sharper, so it doesn't matter that much on APS-C

There's also the relatively rare K 135 f3.5 which is actually a bit
sharper than the M version. Once again in keeping with the M
designation the M is quite a bit more compact. The K 135mm f3.5 is
almost as big as the M 200 f4.0.

Tried my new 30 octa umbrella softbox for macro work; I like it.
Reversed the flash to increase specularity and create more of a
spotlight effect.
What do you mean by reverse the flash? (Tried quacking but
the biggest difference between the k85 and the m85 is the bokeh of the k

the m has horrible busy bokeh.
