I'm not saying they're rare, I'm just not being clear, I guess. Unlike
Leica, which produces a limited edition something or other every other
week, Pentax produces a limited edition run once in a great while.

The K1000 SE, ME SE and ME Super SE aren't that rare. KEH has the K1000 SE
(black or brown cover) and ME Super SE (choice of two) in stock at the
moment and usually has an ME SE as well. The most esoteric (or most
Leica-like) Pentax special edition was the 67II "61 Limited" which was
something to do with the Royal Train.

Oh, yes, I forgot the LX 2000 and MZ3 SE. However there are very few
Pentax limited editions when you think about it.

Pentax has produced a few special editions, but I've never heard of
any of the special editions he mentions. The one's I know of are the
Pentax K1000 SE. ME SE, (I actually have one of those and it's not so
special), I think there was am ME Super SE, but I'm not certain. Boz
lists the LX Gold, LX Titanium, LX Limited, LX Millennium. There was
also a special edition made for Australia of the *ist-D IIRC, thought
that could have been the *ist-Ds or DS2. I've never seen any of the
ones he mentioned in any books on Pentax cameras, and notice he
doesn't mention the special LX's or K1000 or ME SE cameras. Just
remember Pentax is not Leica they generally build work a day cameras.
I have occasionally seen lenses with some lettering in red, but other
than the "limited" lenses I have no way of knowing if that was done at
the factory or just filled in by someone on a lark. Personally I
don't think he knows what the hell he's talking about, or he's trying
to snow you, I suspect the latter. I'd report him to Ebay.
