Hello! Newb, here :-)
I got a K&F Concept M42-K adapter (its one that does NOT have a tool), to mount my Super Takumar 50/1.4 on a K1000. This seemed a real 30 sec piece of cake. But there's odd things going on with metering; I took it out into the painfully sunny day and the meter pinged right to the top (+) on f16... I open it up to 5.6 for a decent reading, but the viewing is darkened enough to annoy focusing, and the prism is darkened. Do I ignore the metering sytem and shoot by instinct? I'm newish to film and manual shooting, so please advise! Thanks! (the lens is switched to 'manual' from auto).

Hello, all!
I'm just a tad south of Pittsburgh. After a very long gap in time from shooting film (15 yrs?), I've returned :) I started making tintypes a month ago, and added a teeny tiny darkroom in my basement. I'm using a Pentax K1000 SE right now, that someone gave me when I asked people for their forgotten about 35mm SLR's :lol: Having fun.
