Hi,
In the "Pentax Manual Focus Film SLRs", from KM up to K2DMD, none of the reviews are available.
"This page can't be displayed".
Example page : https://www.pentaxforums.com/camerareviews/pentax-km.html
Maybe "somebody" renamed something or some pics are not online anymore.
Thank you in advance for fixing that.
BTW, I sent a few "lens disassembly how-tos" but never seen them in the forum.
Maybe my fault, I will check again.
Kind regards,
Gregoire Hostettler

Dear all,
Here is one first disassembly post for the database. As I am working about two days a week on old lenses and bodies (Mostly Pentax) I tend to take pictures of every new disassembly process.
Many come here with diaph blades stuck, or the little spring gone loose, or fungi. I had quite a pentax-A (KA) number recently having lost both the little golden spring and the little gold ball-shaped contact. I could fix them all using more recent broken lenses for spare parts. This is amazing and a joy to see the little golden contact hiding when leaving the "A" setting, then coming up back.
Anyway, please find attached PDF. First one, many more to come!
Greg

Dear Pentaxians,
I am a retired photographer, always used Pentaxes. Including SV, Spotmatics, all breeds, ES-II, MX and LX. And of course, besides an Hasselblad 2000FC and a Toyo 4x5, my - still working - 6x7.
Now working as an IT Security Officer and I started refurbishing all my old Pentaxes. Wow. Some are still working like new, others had to be disassembled, had a CAL and light seals replaced.
I will have many questions to ask about fixing little problems, somewhere deep inside these little mechanical hearts.
I feel like they have a life of their own.
On top of that, my primary languag is French. I have been living some years in the UK and can speak some German, Italian and Spanish as well.
But, please, excuse my English (no, no, do not excuse my French ;-) .
Looking forward to start some intersting talks and technical exchanges!
Greg
