I just spotted a 40mm Pentax pancake on a rough film body. Current price is £30 + £10 postage. Ending soon, could be a bargain :0) search "Pentax lx camera spares/repairs" its no use to me, I have lenses coming out of my ears :0)

I hope the buyer of the Pancake likes their bokeh balls pentagonal.

It's a great little lens, perfect for the M cameras, but there is that one little quirk when stopped down.

If I were in the habit of splashing money around, I would buy the body and send it to Eric for parts in case the circuit board was still functional.

Though speaking of LXes: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PENTAX-LX-CAMERA-WITH-TAMRON-28mm-LENS-PENTAX-LX-...75.c100623.m-1 If the goods really are AOK, I don't think this guy knows what it is that he's selling.

It went for over £100, so someone knew what it was worth

it must have been the annoying swoopers (one cost me £20) because it was still cheap with 15 minutes to go. There was also a SMC da 21mm which doubled in price in seconds, eventually going for over £200. There are bargains but you have to know when to stop
