Nice! I'm seeing a pattern here, you have 3 x SP1000, "LesDMess" has 3 x LX.

My weakness is the K2/K2DMD…

A couple of weeks ago i was looking to get a spotmatic, however i held myself back and decided to wait, it paid off well, my uncle gave me his Spotmatic II with 5 lenses aswell as a massive leather camera bag, with other accessories like flash bracket etc.

That's true luck!
Nice...what lenses did you get with the camera?

Hayob · 11-04-2012, 09:07 AM

It came with a Vivitar 35-105mm F.3.5 , Harmony 135mm F.2.8 , Hanimex 80-200mm f.25 zoom and a Alpex 400mm f.6.3 Telephoto, i also got a sigma 75-300mm zoom, but it's olympus mount

My two main bodies would be a Spotmatic F and a MX.

M42 Lenses:
SMC Takumar 50/1.4, Super Takumar 50/1.4, Super Takumar 135/3.5, Super Takumar 35/3.5, Super Takumar 200/4, Tele-Takumar 300/6.3, Pentacon 200/4, Meyer Optik Gorlitz Telemegor 250/5.5

K-mount Lenses:
M-40/2.8, M-50/1.7, M-50/2, M-100/2.8

But the one mounted looks to be either a Biotar 58/2 or a Helios 44-2 58/2.

I suppose I can finally add my entries here.

This first shot is the K1000 I purchase back in 1984 - my first Pentax SLR with its original 50/F2. It had been tucked away in the closet for about ten years (as I recall I bought my first digital P&S in 2000). I was de-cluttering last year when I rediscovered the camera. Then, I went to the web to see if it had any value - I intended to sell it. I quickly learned film was not dead. It wasn't long before I found this forum, and, well, we all know what happens when you hang out in the film section.

The first sign of my addiction came along August 2011 in the form of a K2. I found this one at Goodwill (lens acquired later). Eric has put it in tip-top condition.

By February 2012, I decided I "needed" a KX. Eric has seen this one too.

And once you have the K1000, K2, and KX, you gotta get a KM (this lens came with the KX). Eric's seen this one as well.

In March I was having some difficulty with getting the focus right, so I thought I'd try an auto focus. I picked up this ZX-7 and lens from the 'bay in April. It's like new and easy to use, but I really do prefer the K-series bodies and manual focus.

Since I had the other four K's, I should also have an SE, right? This one has seen better days and is waiting its turn to visit Eric.

My last (final?) purchase was this black KX with the 50/1.7. It's in very good cosmetic condition, but it has some functional issues. It's gonna bump ahead of the SE in the to-Eric queue.

Now that I've collected these bodies, I can spend less time searching for more and more time actually using the ones I have.

cheers,
Fred

Nice collection Fred!
I've never heard from a K1000 SE...so again learned something here :-)

hollywoodfred · 11-05-2012, 03:57 AM

Thanks Henk! I'm with you - I wasn't aware of a K1000 SE either until I joined the forum. Actually I was oblivious to all but the K1000. I've learned a great deal hanging out here, and I truely appreciate how the members share their knowledge.

seems the difference is that the K1000 iso range is 32-1600 and the K1000 SE is 20-1600 according to bojidar dimitrov's page (a big bible for everything related to body, lens, and accessories).
