Despite the scorching heat , I -had- to get out.. so I slowly crawled over to my favorite "boutique" the Salvation Army store across from the post office where I go to mail my ebay sales... This is what I got, for a total of $40. A Tenba Camera bag ... (The Camera bag is the TENBA expresspak 104. The receipt is from 1995 for the bag - which is in minty condition - and owner paid $32 for it then (which was a discount, it seems) ) Inside of which were the following items 2 K-1000 bodies. (1) The Asahi from years ago.. it weighs a few ounces more than the "assembled in China' ones... the shutter button is frozen in the down position (if you have any idea about how I could extricate it let me know) and it needs a good cla I'd say... but it is the golden oldie. I could send it to Eric (who I"ve heard such good things about) to get it fixed. (2) the second K-1000 works and the clicks all sound right, but there is something weird with the viewfinder... two black lines on each side that are mottled. the other one has two black lines too.. are these guidlines for framing? The othe K-1000 I have doest ahve this.. is this staining from the black foam? 3 Lenses: (In apparently fine shape and I tried it on my ist d ) SMC PENTAX FA 28-105 zoom f4-5.6. Auto focus works on my ist-d. BLACK NExt ... 50mm prime SMC Pentax FA 1.4 BLACK - this works on manual on the istD and kinda worked on auto focus but not properly ... apparently it works on later issues -- or some (a brief check on ebay) With operating manual from 1991. finally ... SMC Pentax 30mm 1:2.8 The serial number is also on the front of the lens along with Asahi Opt. Co. Japan. The number is 5377550. It doesn't say "M" but otherwise the writing is jsut like my dear old 28mm M that I got in the mid to late 70's. ________________ Also: a Sekonic Flashmate L-308BII LIght meter with manual ("of this I know from nothing" :-) ) And a couple of little things I'm uncertain of .. plus a PZ-10 manual - ann -- 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. -- 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.
