It is a really good lens, and worth the price of a new one. Speaking of AF, normally its AF performance is fast, silent, and sure. Above average among Pentax lenses.

If I'd buy a lens with an inbuilt motor, I would ONLY buy it new!
Also the DC-motor does fail much more rarely than the bloody SDM-Pentax-motor it can fail.
So does the socalled SDM-motor of the Tamron made 18-270! I know a person which had one and after a few years the motor zoomed very very slow.

Nice! I prefer the TLR for 6x6. I also have the Agfa Billy record II, which I use for color 6x9 and a Franka Rolfix II that I use for B&W.
I will likely use this Zenobia for color mostly, I have a roll of Ektar 100 in it right now, but I might switch to Fuji 100 at some point. I hear the Fuji greens are better. I need to test that and see what I like.
Here is a unintentional double exposure with flash, last shot on first roll.

Nice find and a great deal.
Last week I was talking to a friend that I only talk to a few times a year. He said he wanted a newer Pentax to replace his aging ME. So I picked up this SF1 and 28-80 for $40 at KEH. I told him I wanna try it out for a month or two and sell it to him for $30. He agreed. So here's my new "temporary" Pentax. It's really nice. The only thing I don't like is the longest shutter speed you can select in manual mode is 1 sec.

This KX belonged to my fiancee's dad. He bought it in '76 when they were living in England and kept it until he died in 2008. I didn't realize how dirty it was until I looked at the pics.

A new addition to the family! (The MZ-3, not the 43mm) :)
I shot with it all last night at an event and am instantly a loving fan of this body.

I understand you like to take pics of cars, here there are two taken with this lens:
One at 35 mm the other at 210mm, I don't think I approached the target between the two shots.

Just picked this one up. Seems fully functional, with original case. A very complicated leaf shutter reflex which is expensive to overhaul. Nice for my Retina collection, but I prefer the simplicity of the range or view finder versions for reliable use..

Hahaha the grip is getting stronger ....... soon you will be buying a desk purposely designed for processing and storing the gear ..... then a display cabinet ........ oh and all the pelican cases too ......
I would share my symptoms in a pic but the wide angle I have cannot go beyond 180 degrees ;)
Maybe I need a theta? theres an idea ......

round two was today. i tried to slow the shutter even more for some of the shots. VERY VERY few keepers when shooting at 1/80. i liked this one the best, even though the bike isn't super sharp, i like how the background looked and the little glint of sun off the tail section.
what do you think?

Remember they guy that cold supposedly bend forks and spoons with his mind? I never saw him do any like that though! Neat shot!
FS...#1 and #7 are stunningly beautiful...certainly two of your finest shots among many. I'd sure like to have a large #7 to print and hang for my Mom...it would go perfectly in one of her bedrooms.
Not much from me today...I was so busy....but I did get a shot of Newbie squirrel FS...and he is really growing fast! He looks a lot like Otis..imagine that!

Thanks to DCShooter, I now have a small family of custom Takumar lenses for mounting to various gorgeous looking Pentax film bodies.
