From Michel:
"Seen on Ebay, this Pentax K1000: red markings on body and lens.
A fake or a commemorative series?
"# 160303122400"
From the listing:
"The red SMC engraving is different from the white engraving because the
red has more of these coating layers. Because of the technical
difficulty of applying many of these coating layers, these ''Red''
lenses were only produced for a short period of time."
Errr... as I understand it, the 55 F2 was a cheaper version of the 55
F1.8. Same optically, but restricted to F2 so it could be sold at a
lower price. So this fellow is claiming that Pentax applied this special
treatment to a bargain-basement lens?
