Got the PM, I have found that I use zooms more on digital than primes, but I'll keep an eye on it. I'll probably keep the Pentax, I think it will need a prism at some point as it's showing some marks. Other than that it's very clean and even the case is in good condition. I used some Beeswax leather feed to keep it supple.

Well worth keeping manual, non-electric cameras and the K1000 seems fairly reliable. That's why I haven't sold mine I guess.
How are you getting on with the EM10? I've hardly used mine this year though I did try it out with the Tamron AD2 zoom I picked up recently and the results weren't too bad.

Very well, almost half the size and a lot lighter than my DSLR. Tbh I've only used it a few times, I usually carry it along with a film camera as a back up. I'm debating on whether or not to sell my Nikon, plus I've still got my Fuji HS10 kicking around plus a Pen EP1, EPL1 and a Panasonic Lumix G1.

Just grabbed this lot off ebay (sellers photo) the K1000 is a Chinese copy with a duff prism, the Canon is of no interest. However the Nikkor 50mm 1.4 and 55mm F3.5 Micro lenses are definitely worth the price if they clean up (slight fungus)

Nice find. Nikon lenses don't come cheap these days so hope you can fix them up.
After a morning's distracting mental wrangling, I caved in on the Oly 45mm

Lol, caved in eventually. I can't see any fungus in the 55mm but the 1.4 certainly has it behind the rear element. I'm sure there are plenty of guides online. If I can clean it up I'll probably put the 1.4 on my F2 and the 55mm on my other F.

Decent haul there. I had aspirations of servicing an Ikoflex I've got and taking it on holiday but that's next week and I haven't laid a finger on it! Just gonna take my Fuji X30 I think

Contessamat? Closest thing, auto exposure. I'll likely keep it simple and just taken the Fuji.

Very easy to get bogged down with gear, can't enjoy shooting when hopping between cameras.
