Well, I got my original ME Super, Winder ME II, SMC-M 50mm f1.4, a
Vivitar Series 1 70-210 f3.5 and a Vivitar 2X TC, all in a metal case,

SMC-M 28mm f2.8, SMC-A 28-135 (f4?), SMC-M 100mm macro and some junk
A 6x7 TTL prism finder for $56 US, average cosmetics, and metering circuit
described as inoperable. All it needed was to have a loose reflecting

I sincerely appreciate the offers, but the only way to get that
lens away from me would be to pry it from my cold fingers
when I`m dead ;)

I remember that one, Steve. When the listing appeared on PDML, I wrote to
the seller, stating, in effect, Are you out of your mind? You can get
twice that on EBay. Withdraw your offer now! The seller replied that he
knew he was offering it at well below the going rate, but that he was glad

My best deal would have to be my ME super with 50/2.0 I got for free. It
was a never picked up refused repair at a lab I worked at. The owner was
cleaning up and asked me if I wanted it , knowing I shot Pentax. I put a new
battery in it and it has worked fine ever since. I did make the mistake

Not a super deal, but not bad. Last year I got a K1000 with a 50/2.0 lens,
assorted filters and a cheap bag at a yard sale for $25.00. Used it as
trading fodder for my MZ-S.

I know that I've mentioned this to the list several times already, but
it is my best deal ever. In fact, it's the deal that got me started on
Pentax, and back into photography in general after more than a decade
away from it.
About 4 years ago, my father picked up from a garage sale in Nova

Taka,
Some of us think the Super A/Super Program is a great camera and an
especially good value. It is a newer/improved model over the ME or ME Super
with both aperture and shutter speed priority plus manual modes and TTL
flash.
I like it over the MX for the automationand features it
Fuji Finepix MX2900 £40 from a loss adjuster we deal with.
Complete with battery. The charger was another £30 - ho,hum.
Konica 21mm F4 £8 (car bootie long time ago).
Carl Zeiss Flektagon 20mm F2.8 M42 £21 odd (leaving prezzie from Jessops).
Never seem to get any good deals these

Both my own purchases:
SMC Takumar 500/4.5, $225
Vivitar Series One 55/1.2 PK prototype, $130. (never entered production)
That doesn't count lenses that I thanked my stars for simply finding, even
though I paid the going rate (Vivitar Series One 28/1.9 PK and 135/2.3 PK).

Being price sensitive, I have actually got most of my equipment at low
prices. My latest buy (a smc k 135-600mm) seems like a very good buy
too. I paid $550. Keh's online quote thingie says they will pay $766
for it :) Looks like I will be able to recover my money and finance some
more stuff if
I dont know that it was my best deal ever, but
the one that gave me greates delight was a K1000 listed
on ebay as old camera. On the image of the 'old camera'
sat the K1000, flash, and a Takumar 135mm f2.5. $55.00
Not the greatest of lenses as I have a pentax 135 2.8
but, now I am on hte search
