M135/3.5 Vs K135/3.5

Hi,I have a perfectly clean M135/3.5.I can buy a K135/3,5 in great condition, except for one tiny cleaning mark in center of front element. The price would be 50 US$. I've heard somewhere that K version is better than M. Should I buy this lens? Thanks, AleksandarJoin the world’s largest e-mai

M100/4 macro Vs K105/2.8 for sharp portraitsHello again!

I use M100/4 macro and M85/2 for portraits.When I want more flattering look I use M85/2 wide open because of it's lower resolution and general softness.When I want wrinkles and sharp skin pores I use M100/4 macro.I missed one opportunity to buy a K105/2.8.It seems that PDMLers like this lens very

Pentax MZ-S questions and some observations

ts) and b) advanced flash techniques (I have an old AF280T for now). Does anybody now where I could find scanned or PDF manual on the web? I can't order it, since there are no Pentax representatives in my country. Some more questions: 1) When using manual focus A, K and M lenses I can't

Gianfranco, 85/1.5 Helios is one great lens

Hi, Thanks for your fast answer regarding the MZ-S! I just love my 85/1.5 Helios I use it exclusively wide open, and optically it is "bad" - it is VERY soft. But this is special kind of softness that I couldn't achieve with any other lens or any other filter or accessory. You must try it - it c

LX & KX prices

Hi, A very good friend of mine is interested in selling his LX and KX to me. He doesn't know how much he should ask for them. He is my best friend, so I dont want to take any advantage on him. What would be the fair price for these bodies? I scanned the cameras and posted their images at: http

Is SMC 55/2 K the best Pentax standard lens? (and 28mm ?)

Hi, I've read at few places on the net, that an old SMC 55/2 K is the best Pentax standard lens in terms of pure optical quality, regardless of maximum aperture and other factors. Is that true? I currently have SMC 50/1.4 M and SMC 50/1.7 M should I try to find it, or should I go for SMC 50/

LX - new mirror box, new shutter, 535**** serials.... what is this???

Hi, I have three LXes with 534 serials and I've read here about new mirror box, new shutter in bodies with 535 (and above) serial numbers. I'm totally ignorant about this! Could somebody explain it to me in more detail please ?!?! Aleksandar _

Re: LX shutter sounds

Hello again, I forgot to say that I had no lenses on any bodies, only body caps, so all the bodies were compared in the same condition. The difference was there with lenses too. Aleksandar Hello, Just sold my new MZ-S and SMC24-90 (I finally decided that plasticky AF cameras with small di

K28/3.5 the good, M28/2.8 the bad, what about A28/2.8?

Hello, I just missed the opportunity to get myself a K28/3.5! It is much praised on this list, contrary to M28/2.8 that nobody seems to like. I already have an A28/2.8. How does it compare to K28/3.5? Should I feel very miserable being stuck with my A? I mean, I find it very OK, but I maybe don'
