I've glued the battery holder back onto the bottom of my Pentax MX, am borrowing some conductive paint from work next week to make the connection to the baseplate, and replaced the mirror bumper foam. I also have a Program A upstairs which is good to go, can use it manual or (with this lens) aperture priority.

Don't tempt me though. On Gumtree in Blandford Forum someone has a great looking FED4 for £12.50 (if it isn't a typo) with lenses, filters etc., plus I'm too much of a sucker for cheap stuff on ebay. I've put a film in the Contessamat; it's been such a job to do and I've waited for over a year to get to it so am actually quite excited about it. There is space in the stable for a Contax RTS or a Mamiya NC1000 though...
