You can also use this lens on modern Canon DSLR cameras. I have a couple of old K mount lenses I use, as well as M42 mount that Pentax also used, on my Canon DSLR. I love manual focusing!

How old do you think the camera is?

Apr 15th, 2014 at 12:17:46 PM PDT by

Pretty old I would say. 20 years anyway. You can find it on wikepdia

Sorry guys I still havnt had a chance to fully test this out. I work a 9 to 5 and don't have a lot of time. It's been stored well from what it looked like when I found it. I was cleaning out an office building and we got to keep what we found

Apr 15th, 2014 at 5:47:39 AM PDT by

Does lens come with it

Apr 14th, 2014 at 8:52:30 AM PDT by

Yep. Everything you see in picture

Apr 14th, 2014 at 8:53:53 AM PDT by

Is the lens removable

Apr 14th, 2014 at 8:09:29 AM PDT by

Yes it is

Apr 14th, 2014 at 8:49:19 AM PDT by

Have you had a chance to run any tests to make sure that it works properly? This looks like a great camera and I would love to have it to use. Great auction :)

Apr 13th, 2014 at 7:35:39 PM PDT by

No not yet, hopefully I can get the right battery tomorrow :/. Thanks!

Super Auction! I'm watching. Did you know: this lens has the same lens mount as modern Pentax digital SLRs? It won't autofocus, but you can use it without an adapter. It is also compatible with all Pentax K mount cameras. Do you think you could pick up a few LR or SR44 or 357 button cell batteries from walmart and do a few tests to see if it's working properly? If you message me, I'll be happy to walk you through it, and hopefully you'll get tons of bids. At any rate, GREAT AUCTION, and GOOD LUCK!

Apr 12th, 2014 at 8:22:20 AM PDT by

Thanks! Wow you know your cameras. Would I need film to check also? Or just batteries?

Apr 12th, 2014 at 8:28:02 AM PDT by

Oops. I missed that sorry

Apr 12th, 2014 at 5:56:51 PM PDT by

Apr 12th, 2014 at 1:54:33 PM PDT by

Apr 12th, 2014 at 12:52:39 PM PDT by

For exact shipping I would. I've never shipped out of the states

Here's a link to the camera manual - the clean battery compartment is a good sign!

Alright awesome. And thanks for all your help!

You could run a roll of film through it and get it developed, but that might cost around $10; it would probably be sufficient to go to Walmart, pick up a cheap laser pointer from the checkout area ($2.50 ish) and take the batteries from that to test the meter on the camera. Check the shutter speeds to make sure they fire. Check out the self-timer. See if there's any corrosion in the battery compartment. Also, take the camera lens off the body (there's a little lever just to the lower left of the base of the lens, depress it and turn the lens counterclockwise, i think) look through the camera lens and see if there's any fogginess, debris or spiderwebby-looking filaments. That's mainly what buyers want to know, and generally if those things work the camera's a winner.

Apr 12th, 2014 at 8:31:58 AM PDT by

Ok I'll have to check that out. I can verify no corrosion is in the battery compartment.
