A friend of mine wanted my Minolta Autocord. I won't be using it much, since I recently got my Pentax 67. So he made me an offer - his Asahi Pentax ES w. 1.4 50mm Takumar. It uses almost the same kind of batteries like the P67 - and my Minolta flash meter. Quite convenient. I guess Silver or Lithium is not a big deal.
What a nice camera. Actually very similar to the K2 (Shuatter Automatics), except for the screw mount lenses and no mirror lock up. The secreen is very bright and easy to fucus with. Now I willt look in my Spotmatic bag to see if I have other lenses I may use with the ES. When I started shooting with an SLR - the ES was the hottest camera in the store. At that time I couldn't afford it. -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
