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

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).

How about an MX with SMC-M 50/1.7 attached for $75?

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 days..
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 gives
SMCP-F 85/2.8 SOFT for $au90. When asked why it was so cheap the
salesperson in the store (L&P 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 :)

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.

Are Super As worth a lot? I keep seeing them for quite cheap.
I think I was looking at that auction, Carl- was out and couldn't
bid when that one closed (I'll have to get a wireless browser for
ebay).

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

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
bragged about it here so many times everyone must be tired of hearing
about it, save for perhaps the brothers:-)

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.

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

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 -
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
