I know that I've mentioned this to the list several times already, but it is my best deal ever. In fact, it's the deal that got me started on Pentax, and back into photography in general after more than a decade away from it.
About 4 years ago, my father picked up from a garage sale in Nova Scotia, an SP500 with 2.0 55mm Tak and pre-set 3.5 200mm Tak, for $20 Canadian. The vendor told my dad that he didn't know if the camera worked, based, I suppose, on the fact that despite a new battery in the compartment, the meter didn't work. Dad bought it anyway, thinking he could use it despite no meter. When I saw it, I reversed the plastic ring on the battery, and voila, it worked! I got the lot, as my father's eyesight was a little dim back then, and he had trouble focussing, so he gave it to me. I've never had that body serviced - it's as smooth as can be, and the meter seems bang on. regards, frank Steve Pearson wrote: > OK now that I've mentioned my missed deal (ME Special > Edition w/ 40mm pancake for $50), as well as the > recent steal of the 67 on Ebay, how about your best > deal ever on Pentax equipment?
