Vivitar Series 1 70-210 f3.5 and a Vivitar 2X TC, all in a metal case,

A 6x7 TTL prism finder for $56 US, average cosmetics, and metering circuit

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
Hopefully it's the one I just got on ebay. A Super A and 28-200 zoom lens with
case and free shipping in the US for $ US 142.50. I bid with just 7 minutes to
go and got it. I wasn't too interested in the lens but
I might keep it if it's OK.
The description said both were in excellent condition -

My best deal was for my ME Super with a 50 f2, with everready case, af200s
with case, and off brand 28mm with case, an off brand 80-200 with case. The
manual for the camera and flash was also included. I got it all for $70.00.
I later traded the long zoom for a Pentax A 35-70 3.5-4.5

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.

The best one I missed was this 6x7 package last night. The best one I
scored was a 6x7 with finder in good condition for $202.11. (I've

about it, save for perhaps the brothers:-)

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.

I've had a few good deals over the past year or so...
An ME super in Excellent condition except for needing new foam and an
absolutely drop dead mint M50/1.4 for $65.00.
An M85/2 in excellent plus shape with hood, caps and case for $100
And a K30/2.8 in very nice shape also for $100.
This
SMCP-F 85/2.8 SOFT for $au90. When asked why it was so cheap the
salesperson in the store (LP Photographics, Sydney) remarked that Pentax
wasn't pro gear so the prices had to be kept down or it wouldn't move.
Reasoning like that suits me fine :)

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
How about an MX with SMC-M 50/1.7 attached for $75?
Or my latest a never used Sigma 300/4 APO Macro AF in the box for $295. New
they go for over $800 at BH

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

Not the greatest of lenses as I have a pentax 135 2.8
