I kept running into pentaxforums.com threads while researching, so I figured I'd sign up. :)
Just a lowly Canon shooter, but for some reason I've started collecting Super-Takumars, so what better place to be?
So far, I've found a pretty grungy, standard 55mm f/2, a pristine 35mm f/2 with case, square hood, with the hood case, and a 135mm f/2.5 in terrific condition. I'm scouring about for proper caps and cases for all of them, just for fun and the sake of completeness. Also have a Spotmatic SPII in ok condition and excellent working order, so I ordered some film and a battery, just to see what happens.
I'm hoping to score a Super-Multi-Coated 400mm f/5.6 w/case, a Super-Tak 105mm f/2.8 with case, and a Super-Tak 300mm f/4 with case soonish.
And of course, always looking for the elusive 8-element 50mm f/1.4 that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. :) I'm on the fence though about the 55mm f/1.8. Just not feeling it's terribly necessary for my happiness...I could be wrong.
I do have a bunch of chipped adapters so I can use these with my Canon bodies, but they are definitely fun to collect for their own sake, and I'm pretty keen to try them with the SPII.
(oh also, I have a grungy af Helios 58mm f/2, and a Spiratone Plura-Coat 20mm f/3.5 that I nicked for eight bucks; I just have fun taking it apart, hahaha)
Cheers!
