Thank you
it is my hometown Stafford in England, took my kids last weekend to the playground and they had the fountains on. Parents were sitting underneath the trees watching them.
I had a couple of frames left in my Spotmatic II, I wanted to test my new Takumar.

Cameras. I has it.
Beautiful photos. I especially like Art Deco touches on buildings.
When the K-II was introduced I read the K-I and K-II comparisons and played mind experiments on which one I’d like. Couldn’t reach a conclusion. Mind experiments because at this point I can’t afford either one.

Thanks! I hear you, I still have to part with some gear to even things out. I haven't paid off the no-interest PayPal credit purchase yet. It was a bit of a big chunk for my hobby.

I was lucky enough to be given a working MX. Here are some shots on Foma 200 with the excellent 1.7/50.

The 105mm f/2.8 is a cracking lens. I have the Super Takumar version.
How are you liking the K3 III?

I've owned many Pentax cameras over the last 50 years...Spotmatic, K2, LX among others. I was disappointed when my local full service camera shop stopped carrying Pentax (now Ricoh). You'd think Nikon, Canon, Sony and Fuji are the only cameras made. Currently I use a K-3 these days with three Limited lenses and and an 18-135. No need to upgrade as it does everything I need in a digital SLR. Otherwise, I shoot film with vintage Nikon S3 and Leica M6.

The K3-3 is a quantum leap for me, I had the K5-IIs and love it but this one is in a different level
I'm still getting used to its quirks but so far is a winner
- Viewfinder is very bright
- Noise and vibration are minimal
-Control layout is logical, but menus were reshuffled and it is hard to rememebr
- Touchscreen it's not something I like much, I had to disable it so that my nose doesn't wrek havoc.

After several years of negotiating my father in law agreed to pass his SP-F
He bought it new in the mid70s and has used it a lot.
The 35/3.5 is a wonderful piece of glass!

It is basically the same design as the AUto-Takumar from 1956 all the way to the K-era
THe M-series is different
35mm is a focal I had overlooked in favor of 28, but I'm changing my mind
