Originally posted by Mark Janes Hi Everyone,
Just joined the forum and hoping to gain some advice on using my recently-acquired Spotmatic F. I'm based in the far north of Scotland and shoot a Fujifilm X-Pro2 as well as the Pentax, sharing M42 lenses between the cameras. My subjects are mostly landscapes and night-sky, but I'm developing an increasing interest in street photography and food.
My Spotmatic has the 55mm f/1.8 SMC Takumar, and I find them a great combo. I'm considering purchasing a 28mm f/3.5 SMC Takumar as well. Can anyone confirm whether this will allow the internal Spotmatic meter to work, as it does with the 55mm?
Thanks in advance, and looking forward to taking part.
Mark
