Picked this SP up on a whim. I already have two. Now not sure why I bought it. Oh ya it's a nice one that's why.

Well finally got my 50-200 today. Was on order from Dec.30. Pentax seams to be in short supply around here for some reason.

If you are able to do the work yourself and or you can get it done for a reasonable cost then yes. The Only major problem I see is the lens issue. If you have to go looking for the glass it may be a cost issue. It's an excellent performer. The Lens is sharp. The camera is fairly compact and...

The front Elements are a common issue on the QL17. You can use a 1.4V zinc air hearing aid battery and the meter will be fairly accurate unlike with a 1.5V LR44. The RF/VF can be cleaned. Seals are messy to do but not that hard. Your biggest issue would be the Lens glass. Have overhauled...

Nothing like a Classic Black Spotty. Have one around here somewhere....

Remember your not buying a new or modern camera. Unless the person selling it states there is a warranty I assume there is not. It's hard sometimes when your not inspecting the camera in person. You need to know the person who is selling at least by rep and feedback. It also helps to know the...

Just wondered how many are shooting with FSU (Former Soviet Union) Rangefinders. I picked up a FED 2(d) with a J8 on the weekend. It's not my first but the other have new homes. The guy I got it from also has a Zorki 3M I think I will get next weekend.

I have breathed Life back into many Electro35's. Most likely I am to far and shipping costs would be high. If you have basic skills I could guide you through. Most likely the power wire above the battery box.

the 50-200 sells here for 230-250 CND regular price so 80.00 off is a good discount.

Might be a bit far depending where your located Henry's Cameras. I am in The Toronto Canada area. It was on sale for 149 CND. 80 Dollars off. Tomorrow is the last day on sale.

Well I popped into the local store and the 50-200 was on sale. It was also out of stock but they ordered on for me at the sale price. Just could pass it up for 149.00. should have mine in a week or so.

No Problem. If you don't feel up to opening the camera finding some to check for you is a good idea. Best of luck with you Electro35.

well if you battery adapter is working correctly and the contacts in the battery box are clean the next step is to decide if you want to go on looking for the issue. If so I will continue to help. The next step involves removing the top cover to check the power wire. This is not really difficult...

Well I am in real trouble then. If the Yashica RF lenses are the same.......
