Getting into the back of the lens is pretty easy. From memory, there are a few bits that could be misassembled and hopefully easily made good.

that's my thought - that this lens has been taken apart and reassembled wrongly.....

Perhaps someone has had your lens apart and made some modifications. My M 35 2.8 operates identically to all my other Pentax manual lenses.

Travel Sailing to Antarctica

2009 I'm sailing with the historic tall ship Bark Europa to Antarctica.
The route went from the southern tip of South America to Capes Horn over to the Antarctic.
That was definitely one of the most beautiful and extraordinary journeys
I've ever done - it was just fantastic.

The landscapes in the Antarctica are very impressive. There is almost no vegetation there,
only a few ground lichens. The landscape is very rough and originally - large black
Rocks / mountains with glaciers and huge icebergs. And then the silence that is very
impressive.

Animals we have seen, of course, many - several types of penguins, various species of seals,
leopard seals, elephant seals, albatrosses and many humpback whales.

That there are many photos, I'll show them in several parts here. I hope you like the photos :confused:

High swell at the crossing - the Drake Passage


Paradise Bay - one of the most beautiful landscapes


Icebergs as big as an island

ME Super Film Advance Problem

The only thing I can think of is to take off the plate and see if the wind lock is bent or anything like that. Check out this page:

Favorite Classics > Pentax ME Super Ramblings > Three Common Failure Problems

Especially the part I bolded in red.






QuoteQuote:

Three common failure problems of the ME Super come to mind:
1. Over zealous winding
A. Winding too hard, especially at the end of the wind stroke, can shear off the tab shown below. If this is the problem the wind lever will move freely until it wedges into the other components under the frame counter plate.
And… you’ll be in for some serious disassembly.

B. Winding too hard when the wind lock isn’t released will bend the wind lock catch. You’ll know it is bent if the wind lever can be wound, then wound again without releasing the shutter. But luckily it can usually be bent right back in position without permanent damage.
