Almost like the story about granny, the wolf, and the girl with the red riding hood.

Unsure where you fit in?
Ha! Just one of the wolves I'm sure

Yep - out in the valley.

At that price, I knew it wouldn't last long, and I knew there wasn't much point in trying for it.

You should send it to Eric for a CLA if you want to use it.

Yes, I saw that - lovely.

If that K had been black, I would have tried for it!
They made black ones? The production run on the K must have been pretty small. I would assume black would be as rare as unobtanium.

They made black AP, S and K's. Some say that about 10% of the production run was black bodies.

Here is the production run as far as it is known:

AP: 19 546
S: 4 900
K: 21 454

To add to rareness of the black bodies, there were even all black lenses out there. Like the Takumar 58mm f2 and a black version of the zebra lens that you have as well. I think that there is a black version of the really rare Takumar 55 f1.8.
