Thats close to what im doing. I rebuild/restore cars, and old tractors so Im used to working with rusty parts, and heat...always much bigger chunks of iron though!!!!! Right now I have my fav penetrating oil mixture on it.. { 50/50 ATF and acetone] and I am going to hit the cover with a heat gun. I figure the heat gun will be a more controllable heat source.

I'm guessing this is just the well the battery sits in? Lots of corrosion on the outside, but none inside, so that's good. I REALY don't want to mess up the bottom plate so I will start with something mild so I don't mess up the finish

The problem is its frozen on, and the slot it mostly rounded! I fear the battery has leaked, and froze it all up, but the PO has buggerd up the slot to remove it. I made a curved tool to fit as tight as I can, but its still starting to slip. I don't want to spray anything on it becouse of the fear of hurting the Finnish or camera. Any tips for me on this? I really think I just need to bite the bullet and ship it out to be cleaned..

Thats a great idea! With the taper, and flexabilty you just cut to fit, and paint it black and I bet 90+% of the people would not know it from top end gear!!

Well I know little about them... I assumed they all had a shoe to put a flash on... but now that I look at mine it looks to have some kind of a adapter mounted on the viewfinder... are these not common?

Ok Im learning thanks!!!!!

OK.. so the one that came with the SP came with a 50mm lens, and a.... sorry dont remember the number.. but its a tele lens of some sort... its pretty deep, so I am thinking its not for the 50mm.. Ill research it more.

Thanks for putting up with the dumb new guy!

LOL!! Oh I know that for sure!! I know its 99% me..maybe more.. I know someone that has a clue can get much more out of it!!!


Thanks for all the ideas guys. I will have to dig up some pictures, and maybe its just what I take pictures... I seem to do mostly closeups, or landscape type pictures, and asking a lens like this to do it all just isnt going to work. Im pretty low on my skill level, and getting back into it after many years away isnt helping.

Nice to know that its not great.... but useable.

OK, well Ill start and say I'm not really skilled at picture taking. I'm working on it... and maybe one day... That being said, I have a old Pentax K1000 and it came with this "SMC Pentax M 1:2 50MM" lens. With my experance it really doesn't take much better then just normal point and shoot type camera pictures. Was this some lower end "fill the hole in the front of the camera" type of lens, or it it just my poor photo skills? What, if any is a good use for this lens? What is a better choice for a "do a lot" type lens? Thanks for helping me learn!!!

The seals are on the back cover top and bottom? Don't see any on the top, but something flaking on the bottom. I don't know what its called, but if you remove the lens, and above it in the bump up that holds the viewfinder.. ( how's that for not having a clue? :) ). There is some form of a seal strip that all nasty and braking down. Almost like rotting closed cell foam. Is that user replaceable? I'm very handy.... but have big fingers.

Hello all. The name is Paul, and just found this place searching for info on my new find

Got my first slr in the 90's. One of the "other guys" a EOS... well that got stolen on new years 99, and the next year I scored a nice K1000 from a yard sale..$20.. I've been a fan sence... well film use has come and gone and haven't got a ton of use from the old girl till the last year when I started teaching my kids about film... Well yesterday I'm walking around another garage sale, and open a little bag.... what do I find? A nice old Pentax! Came with two lens, and at first glance I thought I finely found a tele lens for my old K. ( you don't want to know what I paid. :D ). Well get it home, and I find its a Honeywell Pentax sp1000. So now to research what I have!!!!
