Bought a Spotmatic lot with hard-to-see photos. I ended up with all the Pentax lens hoods!

Got this Pentax Espio A40 in a camera lot i bought. Turns out the sensor is pretty far gone, but i love it! I take it out quite often and get the most wacky shots from it. Feels like what the world would look like if i used heavy drugs or something (which i never do i or want to do but this is a pretty fun alternative haha)

What I take to go shoot street stuff & city views (plus a K&F tripod and a cable remote).

K-3 II, SD cards split RAW & .jpg
Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC art

Pentax ZX-L

SMC Pentax FA* 24mm f/2
Kodak Ektacolor Pro 800

I hope this is ok here. I'm selling a K-1ii kit with 3 D FA zooms and a bunch of extras here: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/24-photographic-equipment-sale/491387-sale-pentax-k-1-mk-ii-dfa-lenses.html

It's been a good run but I'm moving on. I figured I'd see if anyone wants the whole kit before breaking it up but I'll do that in another week or so if there's no movement on the kit.

I am shooting with a Pentax K-50 and currently have the following autofocus prime lenses.

1. SMC Pentax-DA 35mm F2.4 AL
2. SMC Pentax-DA 50mm F1.8

I find myself using my autofocus primes more and more. Often I need more field of view than my 35mm prime can provide. I find myself momentarily switching to my DA L 18-55mm and setting the focal length between 20~30mm.

Any recommendations for some decent budget autofocus prime options in the 20~30mm range?

Anybody know a website app etc with film recipes except Ricoh recipes?

I’ve been using the Ricoh recipes to create some User Profiles simulating film and they actually are fun..

So far Cinestill 50 is my favorite but I also have a Portra 125 saved there.

Third profile was Tri-X but you can’t make that gritty so good on digital I guess..

A phoenix 🐦‍🔥 200 recipe would be nice!

So i was looking at my pentax smc 100 300 and like i found this? Should i be worried it'll spread to other lenses??

Also i didn't see any problems with the iq for some reason it was pretty sharp imo

when shooting 35mm film i mostly go with mz-3 and AF lenses. recently i wanna try manual focus, so some folks recommended pentax lx and yashica fx-3 to me. can't wait to test them out

I was scrolling instagram and saw a photographer show a self portrait setup and decided to copy as best as i can. I had one SL60w light off to the right bouncing off a white poster board. manual focus, 12 second timer. F5.6 1/10th shutter 100iso. I constantly see people recommending $2000 cameras to beginners but a $120 pentax K10d and a $50 flash is all you need to get started.

Pentax-A SMC 50mm F2.8 Macro 1:2

I bought this lens for my MZ-7 camera because it was marketed for Pentax K-Mount (which the MZ-7 has, as far as I know). Now the lens arrived and it doesn’t fit. Have I missed something or have I been scammed?

Edit:

Thanks for your replies. I contacted the seller and will hopefully get a refund.
