Price was fair but no bargain.
This model is fairly uncommon.

Looking forward to receiving a Kipon PK to Q adaptor in the post in the next few days. Lots of prime to have a play with on my Q7

They're here . . . .


I have the lens to match the black ME-F and a satin chrome ME-F. One of the two will become a user camera, the other a display camera. The MESuper replaces my 1984 original owner satin chrome MESuper that was ruined in a basement flood. I've always wanted a black MESuper and this one came into the Marketplace, so there you go. (Seller photo cropped)

So the camera doctor has ruled the ME-F not repairable (by him). It will look pretty on a shelf in my office.

The MESuper needed a eye-level finder and repair to the shutter and winding mechanism from impact damage plus a standard CLA. Done and Done. Probably spent too much, but hey - Black MESuper

Finally decided to see what all the fuss is about with FF. Won an auction for a K-1 with grip. Now the second phase of the waiting begins......

I have all this old FF glass.......

I have a couple too, and

some lenses that could work

and there is that curiosity factor

and, of course, I could resist GAS

looking at all that, it looks like it would be

a very steep slope, I wonder how slippery could it be ?

It's a lot of fun with legacy FF lenses, especially the wide angle and ultra-wide angle ones. I will never part with my SMC M 20/4 ... never.

I advise for you to do it, but beware as this is just the beginning!

That 19 will be quite nice ... put a Tak17/4 Fish-eye on your short list ... and the Tamron AD-2 17mm is nice, too, but much, much larger than the M 20/4 and the Tak Fish-eye. Both of these two fit easily in the bag and take up almost zero space.

Fisheye fun :

my wife has been very nice to me and has allowed me to accumulate some nice equipment

some " experienced " others bought on sale

but there are limits

and I am not as dumb as I look

so I am passing on trying out the full frame K 1 and K 1 II
