I've been looking for a while at getting a portrait
lens in the 70-85 range. The A85/1.4 is prohibitively
expensive, the K85/1.8 is also out there, and even the
lowly M85/2 tends to go for more than I can swing at
this point.
I occasionally see M42 and M39 lenses in this range on
ebay, some
I'd also like something similar to the LX. Not sure if
I'd want it to have AF as well or not though. Heck,
why not just bring back an LX Super (LX +
A-compatibility, improved mirror bumper, even better
metering, yet retain compatibility with old LX accessories)
It would be wonderful if you want to pay $3000.00 US
or so. No make that $4000.00.
I guess I'll be forced to stick with my $250 LX then.
What did the LX sell for when new anyway?

I took my 24-48 to Bele Chere '04 a month or two ago
in Asheville, it seemed ideal except it's so freaking
huge.
...and wobbly ...and too tight in the focusing and
zoom rings.
But that's just mine.
I'm tempted to get a SMC Pentax-M 24-35 or 24-50. Or
even an aftermarket 19ish-35ish.
Well, what I meant was, Your town still has a camera
shop? Boone certainly does not.
Ahh, I catch your drift! Yep, it's called Livingstons
Photo, and is on main street in downtown Sylva.

I just corrected the exact same problem on the exact
same lens - the fix was just as has already been
described.
Any fairly grippy rubber object should work, I picked
two chunks of rubber off my old worn out shoes, washed
them off, and pressed a piece in each side of the
nameplate ring to get
I happened across a Winder LX on a camera shops
website a while back at a seemingly very fair $129 in
very nice condition. I was in the vicinity of that
shop today and decided to drop in and have a look. I
asked for a demonstration of it (I didn't have my
camera with me, so the salesman used an LX
