Hi Shel,
I believe that the "SMC Pentax 1:1.2 50mm" is the later version of the
K50/f1.2 because the "mm" in the name of K series lenses exists only for K
series lenses that were still made while the M series lenses were already
there. As I understand it, my "SMC Pentax 1:1.8/85", my "SMC Pentax

when you look at the Tokina 400/f5.6 with inner focusing, look at the out

For European Pentax enthusiasts it may be interesting that Audiophil Foto

DM (860 US$).

Hello Cameron,
I purchased this lens 8 months ago in M42 mount (and yes, it is a "SMC Pentax
1.4.5 500mm"). It did get some use but not much, as it is too heavy and too big
to take everywhere. My SMC Pentax 1:5.6 400mm K series lens is much more
convenient and can be used hand-held, too. Opticall

Then go ahead, sell youf FA85/f1.4, and get a N F100 plus a Nikkor 85/f1.4,
as Pentax would be nuts if they started copying other brand's cameras. You can
see from the LX, MZ-3, MZ-S

'rappel' may be from French origin, but "abseil" definitely is not.

Hello,
thanks to the efforts of two friendly fellow PDMLers, whom I
thank very much, now I, too, possess two new screens for the
LX: SC-69 and SG-60. The new screens are really great. Its
not so much the brightness that impresses me but the
fineness of the grain of the screen and the easyness of

lenses say "Japan" on the aperture ring.

Hi,
I'm curious if other owners of FA*
lenses have had the same problems as you, Pal.
I have the FA*24 and the FA*300/f4.5 and I had the FA*85, and with moderate
usage there have been no problems with any of them yet. However I agree
that the construction of the windows is everything but convinci
Hi,
I have been asked whether one can use original K and M
lenses on the ZX50 / MZ50. I think the answer is: Metering
works correctly only at open aperture as the ZX50 lacks the
aperture simulator. But what about screw mount lenses with a
K mount adapter - would the ZX50 meter work correctly with
