I'm currently using Micro 4/3, but am on the lookout for old Pentax lenses, mainly in 85mm and 135mm range. I haven't used a Pentax since college let yearbook staffers use a Pentax S2, well over 50 years ago. What a solid camera that was; I still like its reliability and simplicity.
Hi, Mark, thanks for the welcome. I have only three old M42 lenses now, a 55mm f/2, 200mm f/3.5, and 500mm f/8. I do manual focus only, so the old Pentax/Takumar stuff is perfect for me. When I get my feet on the ground, I'll look forward to going through your photos. M.

Welcome to the forums

lots of friendly members and knowledge here

have you looked at the various lens reviews under " lenses " yet

and to see what might be available for sale in the forum's market place from members check out the " buy/sell " section

it can be sorted by country as you can see here -

Welcome to the forums. There are a lot of friendly folk here who can help you with Pentax lenses (not so certain about Micro 4/3 cameras). Anyway, glad you are here and looking forward to more posts.

Welcome Mike!
There are loads of second hand choices in the short telephoto focal range. The user reviews in the forums are well worth a scan though.

Hi, Mark, Mike Jackson here, new member. I don't seem to be having much luck making my Quick Replies to Hello messages go where I want. Is there some simple trick I'm missing?
