Well it is going to a good hope. A friend of mine who likes Pentax cameras and wants a classic, manual focus camera with manual exposure capability. Besides, I do have another K2 - it's the one I bought from Mike Johnston a couple of years ago. It isn't in nearly as nice condition cosmetically as the one I'm selling but It works perfectly. The one I'm selling is my "collector's* item. It's so mint you could put it on a store shelf and pass it off as new (and that includes the K-series 50/1.4). I'll miss having it, but part of the reason I didn't use it much was that it was too beautiful to risk taking out in the real world. What's the point of owning a camera you're afraid of using?! ;-) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
