much. j I have one of the M100/2.8 lenses and like it very much. I use it all the time. I bought mine new for US$110 many years ago and it is always with my cameras, whether I'm using my K1000 or my ZX-5. Keith Zimmerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepage.dave-world.net/~vkzimm/gallery5.html

Bob, do you mean inside the top plate? My K1000, purchased new in 1980 says asahi opt. co. on the back top. The only other engraving is the serial number (6700256) on the bottom plate. Is it possible to tell where it was assembled by the serial number? TIA Keith Zimmerman [EMAIL PROTECTED

love to shoot B/W and always have a camera ready with the film. I also like to shoot B/W IR film. I will shortly be dedicating my K1000 to IR. Tonal control, contrast, and dark skies (BW and IR films respond differently) Keith Zimmerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepage.dave-world.net/~vkzimm

used nothing but prime lenses since, at least until I bought my ZX-5 with the 35-80 zoom in 1995. I like that zoom quite a bit. Maybe, I'll look at some more. Keith Zimmerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepage.dave-world.net/~vkzimm/gallery5.html - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail
