"I guess it just comes down to something appealing about going out with a
mechanical body, hand-held meter, and two or three primes. I realise it
won't allow me to do anything I can't already do with my plethora of K mount
stuff, but I think it will be a fun and rewarding experience."
When I first got into photography in the early 70s I used "Practica" cameras
from East Germany. My first one was an "L2" - 42mm screw mount, no meter,
and completely mechanical 1 to 1/1000 sec shutter and very nice Carl Zeiss
Jena F1.8 50mm and 135mm f3.5. I know it's not Pentax "except the mount"
but I believe there is some connection. If you could find one I bet they
change hands for very small amounts nowadays. I did at the time however
lust after the more expensive TTL technology then being offered by Pentax
and others.
