Thanks for all your proposals. I think this MEsuper has a plastic screen. I got the camera yesterday from ebay and examined and cleaned it in the evening. Todays morning I have compared the brightness of the viewfinder against that of my ME, and it is noticeable brighter, so it must be another type

Because of several comments I buyed the SMC-M-135/3.5 in jan 2002 for 60 Euros and first was impressed. But in the summer on a biking trip I took a picture that disappointed me and I found that this lens doesn't reproduce enough details. I sold it and got me a SMC-K-135/2.5 with 58mm front. It is m

Actual I can't remember because I have looked for several different lenses and might mix them. But I noticed that a SMC A 20/2.8 went for a price I didn't want to spend by the way. I have already the wonderful FA* 24/2.0 and I am not sure if I am really in need of a 20mm. But there is a little bit

OT: Automatic diaphragm on adapted Takumar?

2003-03-14 Thread U+B Scheffler
Hi all, I have a question concerning the use of a Takumar lens with k-mount adaptor on (for example) my K1000: Will the automatic diaphragm work or do I have to close the diaphragm for each shot manually? Especially I thought of using a SMC Takumar 20mm lens which will be less expensive than k-m

Hi, So when I look at my SMC Pentax 1:2.5 135mm (K-lens) I discover a nice analogy to the second edition Takumar: the greater gap, mark for F4. last marking 35 meters. If you would state that the Takumar has 58mm filter size, too, I could believe that the K SMC 2.5 135 is almost the same. BTW: I g
