Open the back, press down on the hub of the counter with your thumb and rotate it past "1", keep it there, and close the back

I didn't realize Pentax had the equivalent to Minolta Celtic or Nikon series e lenses...
Is the K 3.5 better than the M version?

Why does the m42 version command more money? I thought the designs were the same

I meant with field/view camera roll film backs- you hit the interlock and advance a frame - you have to remember - "did I advance the film last time?"

Remembering if you had already exposed that sheet of film/frame yet or not - when in doubt, advance

So I've been playing around with it- contrast through the viewfinder seems a tad low compared to my Hasselblad 80- guess I'll see how the portraits come out

The only lens I have for the 645 right now is a borrowed Hasselblad 80 Planar sitting on an adapter and I'm not focusing well enough on it
Also, the split screen is hard to find

Not a lot of discussion on this lens
It's more affordable than the 150 2.8 for me and I happen to like a little more compression for my portraits

How does it do in resolution and sharpness?
Ming Thein didn't like it on the 645Z but I'm using film

Thanks

So, I want to play with some early Pentax goodness
I picked up an SV and a slightly too early 55 1.8 (S/N is on the low side)
Any other lenses from that era I should pick up?
Were there any internal improvements between the S2/S3/SV models?

Thanks

First time SLR. K1000 or MX?

The MX is tiny, and I'd pick either the KX or KM over the K1000 (which is goes for the same price as the KX and KM on occasions)
