I recently acquired 2 GXR bodies an an A12 mount. I have two fully charged aftermarket (Kastar) batteries and formatted SD card.
Problem is the shutter buttons on both bodies are stuck...can't take a pic.
The live view works and the VF-2 viewfinder works when the mount is attached, but I can't take a pic. Same problem with both bodies.
I was hoping to find someone in the Sarasota Florida area who has a working GXR body that I could test my A12 mount on.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Pentax K2000 that doesn't work, but the focusing screen looks perfect.
Not sure if the screen will fit in your camera.
Perhaps some of the knowledgeable guys here would know.
I'd sell the whole camera as is for parts.
Let me know if you're interested.

Try holding Alt key and type the number 156 using the numeric pad on your keyboard. When you release Alt, the symbol will appear. NumLock must be enabled
I just did it £

A beautiful young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean.
But just before she could leap from the docks, a handsome young man stopped her.
"You have so much to live for," said the man.
"Look, I'm a sailor, and we're off to Europe tomorrow, and I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take care of you, bring you food every day, and keep you happy."
With nothing to lose, and since she had always wanted to go to Europe , the woman accepted.
That night the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat.
From then on, every night he would bring her three sandwiches and make love to her until dawn.
Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered by the captain.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she replied.
"He brings me food and I get a free trip to Europe ! Plus, he's screwing me every night.."
"He certainly is," replied the captain. "This is the Staten Island Ferry."

You should check out Jon Goodman's site Favorite Classics / Jon Goodman's Seal Replacement Instructions
If you scroll down to the Pentax Spotmatic, he says all the dimensions for the new foam.
I've bought a few of his kits and found them and his instructions to be great.
Probably a lot easier than buying foam and cutting it yourself.

Great job fixing the bent rim on the lens.
What did you use to get it back to looking so nice?

I found this Panagor tripod collar in a thrift shop.
I never saw anything like it, and there was nothing about it on Google or Ebay.
Has anyone here used one like it?

Three old Grandmas were sitting on a bench outside the nursing home when an old Grandpa walked by.
One of the old Grandmas yelled out, 'Hey, we bet we can tell exactly how old you are!'
The old man said, 'There is no way you can guess my age!’
One of the Grandmas said, 'Sure we can! Just drop your pants and undershorts and we can tell your exact age.'
Embarrassed, but anxious to prove they couldn't do it, he dropped his drawers.
The Grandmas asked him to first turn around a couple of times and then jump up and down several times.
Determined to prove them wrong, he did it.
Then they all said in unison, 'You're 87-years-old!'
Standing with his pants down around his ankles, the old gent asked, 'How in the world did you guess my age?'
Slapping their knees, high-fiving and grinning from ear to ear, the three old ladies happily crowed.....
'We were at your birthday party yesterday.'

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Joey Pagano?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And who was the girl you were with?"
"I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
"Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Nina Capelli?"
"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."
"Was it Cathy Piriano?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?"
"Please, Father! I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"
"Four months vacation and five good leads...

She was a hard working woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand.
Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk. She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk.
He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching.
For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well. Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, "You have done a really good job, and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels." The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night.
One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return.
Two o'clock and no hired hand.
Finally he returned a round two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him.
She quietly called him over to her..
"Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said.
Trembling, he did as she directed. "Now take off my boots."
He did as she asked, ever so slowly.. "Now take off my socks."
He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots.
"Now take off my skirt."
He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire light. "Now take off my bra.." Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor.
Then she looked at him and said, "If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired."

The above post reminds me of this sick joke:
Before Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested he had his parents over for dinner. His dad said "Jeffrey we don't like your neighbors".
Jeffrey replied, "That's OK just eat your vegetables"

A friend of mines brother died of cancer recently. She asked me to help her clean out his house. He was a hoarder. The place was a disaster with crap everywhere.
I found his camera bag which she said I could have. It contained a Minolta XE-7 (meter not working) and three Minolta lenses.
A Minolta MC Zoom Rokkor-X 100-500mm 1:8 with hood, a Minolta MC W.Rokkor-X 24mm 2.8 with hood and caps, but the best was this Minolta MC Rokkor-X PG 58mm 1.2 with front and rear caps and original rare hard to find D55NC hood. All were in excellent clean condition.

Brenda and Steve took their six-year-old son to the doctor. With some hesitation, they explained that although their little angel appeared to be in good health, they were concerned about his rather small *****.
After examining the child, the doctor confidently declared, “Just feed him pancakes. That should solve the problem.”
The next morning when the boy arrived at breakfast, there was a large stack of warm pancakes in the middle of the table
“Gee, Mom,” he exclaimed, “for me?”
“Just take two,” Brenda replied. “The rest are for your father.”
