Nice find! I'd trade my MD35-105 for that 50-135 any time...

They may have been short on bananas but they sure had enough aperture blades in the GDR: (...)

Merci Jan ... quite happy with this new extension to my small Minolta collection ... and here's some more GDR blades:

I'm waiting for a black Pentax MX from over at APUG.
It looks clean but not too pretty to use.

Somebody needs to revoke my eBay privileges. Bought a Promaster 28-105 for $16, plus $10 shipping.

Jean Poitiers · 12-08-2013, 01:22 PM

Gambled on a lot of four K bodies, plus an extra lens, a flash + more? ... all to be delivered to my door for 58 € ... LOT DE 4 Boitiers Pentax K Objectifs | eBay

I hope that these turn out to be "good", i.e. not too much clean and "refub" : (1) a MX w/an Auto Revuenon 45/2.8, (2) a ME Super w/an A 50/2, (3) a K1000 w/a Tak 28/2.8 and (4) a RevueFlex SC2 w/an Aicar 80-205/4.5 (supposedly a re-badged Chinon CM4) ... plus (5) a Ricoh Rikenon P 35-70/3.4-4.5 Macro and (6) a huge Hitacon Auto 3000S flash ...

Hurry up Ms./Mr. Mailperson ... Salut, J

You mean for the picture of the setup or when you use it with the K5 ? I guess some firmware update will come soon to support this new lens.

Jean Poitiers · 12-11-2013, 10:58 PM

Just for fun ... it had been sitting for so long in the used gear display case at my local B&M shop ... an AF280T posed on the MV1 @ -15° ... did not have a Pentax legacy flash ... happy now, J
