With it being overcast here I ended up going into Ft. Lauderdale to
take
some shots. Not much to speak of but at least I got out. I ended up visiting
some pawn shops and camera shops. I think I hit paydirt!
I found this neat little camera shop that repairs cameras. They did
not
have much in Pentax K mount, but they did in M42!
I now have added to my arsenal:
Super-Takumar 35mm f3.5
Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 105mm f2.8 with hood and case
Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 200mm f4
All came with front caps, one Honeywell the rest Asahi, and rear
caps, one non-Takumar. I
left both the 135 f2.5s there along with the 55 f1.8s being that I already
have these.
I was like a kid in a candy store. I am glad I have the M42-K
adapter
with me. Now I can try them all out on either the LX or MZ-S (that would
make a pretty picture, the Tele_Takumar 300/6.3 on the MZ-S.) He is going
to check about another lens they may have. I will not let the cat out of
the bag about it. I will check next week to see if he has it. I guess
these lens purchases (with the 300/6.3) are my birthday and Christmas
presents to myself.
I could tell this was the place for me when two steps inside the
door, in the showcase, was not only an Argus and other neat cameras, but an
H1a with clip-on meter.
All are excellent, but not mint, woohoo,
