Less than a month ago I found a "lot" on Craigslist for a Pentax camera and lenses for $25. It was in a little thrift shop, they were happy to sell it their full asking price. This was all loaded into a brief case with custom fit foam rubber, the stuff was in great shape. It included an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, Super Takamar 135mm f3.5, Two Super-Takumar 50mm f1.4, AUTO Mamiya/Sekor SX 21mm f4.0, Vivitar 35mm 1:1.9 Auto Wide-Angle, Soligor Miranda 250mm f4.5, Aetna Extension Tubes, Chelsea 2X Teleconverter, Lentar 3X Teleconverter, Honeywell Pentax Bellows, and a Prontor shutter release cable. All but one of the lens had filters and both caps. The Soligar was not an M42 lens. I had to spend $35 for an M42 adapter so I could use these lens on my K20D.
I’ve also sold the Soligar, Aetna tubes, the Super Tak 135, and one of the Super Tak 50s on Ebay for $151 (before Ebay took their 8%). All in all a spectacular deal for me.
Right now I’m shooting a roll of film in the Spotmatic with the Mamiya 21. I would love to keep the lens but as I understand it, the SX series won’t properly mount on a Pentax DSLR because of an aperture pin and the aperture ring. The pin would be an easy fix, but the ring would press against the K20D body, I would need to disassemble it and have it machined to fit.
Here’s a couple of sample shots:
