Seems so straightforward now.

Been watching a Pentax K2 no. 361963597114 but not going to bid on it. A couple of days left I think, SP of a tenner and no bids so far. It's seen some use but a decent enough lens on it as well and they're pretty reliable things. If someone is after a good SLR then I'd say put a bid on it. These were the top of the line and really only bettered by the LX, which is like saying a Lambo is better than a Porsche.

Thanks for the heads up, tempted but really need to ease off now as I have five crates of cameras now!

28mm lens on that Pentax too. Will keep an eye on it. But those low starting prices can be dangerous. As a result of one, a Yashica Minister will be arriving later this week.
Managed to get out on the SV this afternoon.

Which Minister did you get? I have a Minister D somewhere. Meter takes a PX625 battery but its only used to aid setting.

If it's any help the bodies of the K2s go for about £50 ish and the lens seems to be good for £40 or so, maybe more.

Fixed my SV too! Clean carbs and the rrrrhumbaaaa has been restored.

All my SV needs now Johnny is a good clean. It's looking really grimy.
Kenzie, it's a Minister iii, supposed fully working and doesn't need a battery.

Hey Yokohama, I posted off the lens today. Went first class so hopefully it will land with you tomorrow.

Brill. Thanks Kenzie. Not going into work tomorrow so I'll be in when it arrives. Maybe the Yashica Minister will turn up too.
