PentaxForums.com Marketplace Listing Item for Sale
9 Pentax cameras, 10 lenses (K, M42, M37 and 6x7) and accessories Asking Price
35.00 USD Item Location
US (United States) Item Description
Hi Pentaxians,
I cannot upload the missing pictures to my original post so this is an updated version. All bodies work (speeds sound about right and meters move) unless stated otherwise but I'd recommend a CLA if you are planning on shooting with them. All lenses work and are free of oil, mold and problem unless stated otherwise. Any other details are indicated below. Please message me if you need additional pictures. I’d rather sell the bodies with the lenses but if you want a specific camera or lens let me know. Insured shipping is free in the US. Stay well and keep shooting Pentax :cool:
M37 (Asahiflex):
Asahi Kogaku Takumar 500 f5 (+ built in hood, front cap + case missing top) - cleaning marks and scratches on the body. The focusing mechanism is smooth, aperture opens and closes well, and the built-in hood opens and retracts as it should. The mount is removable. In his book, F Sherfy reports that "it is a quality super telephoto lens" and that "AOC recommended the lens for use in animal and plant life observations as well as distant objects of importance" - $520
M42:
Tower 26 (same as Asahi Pentax AP / S) - $165
Asahi Pentax S2 Super with Auto Takumar 55mm f2.2. Front ring of the lens is slightly dented and front glass has cleaning marks) - $95

Asahi Pentax A50mm f1.7 with registration card - $45

You need both an MX and LX :D
I'd use the K1000 for a while and see how you like it. If you feel it is missing something look for other options. If you are happy with it invest in lenses instead.

Sigma used to provide that service so technically it can be done. I remember reading that the most problematic part was the aperture mechanism.

With the 1.4X AW AF pictures can show vignetting at some distances but quality is still very good

I have no idea but are there any screws on the outer wall? In the second picture it looks like there is a small hole (bottom right)

It could be a luxon, migca, presenta...based on what I read in the past some Chinese manufactures bought the factory (and parts) where the last K1000s were being produced and started making these clones. Most of them were black, with a self-timer and a meter with lights. The 50 f2 lens that comes with them was based on the pentax M50 as well.

I opened the link without reading so I had no context and I wasn't biased. I saw the first picture and thought 'is this a painting or a picture?'. It looks very cool but I get an artificial vibe from it. And yes, I retouch my pictures sometimes too :D

For me #3 is just the opposite. Too many things to do and no time for pictures (just with my phone) :(
