: Can someone recomend high power zoom lenses for Pentax
: Es-II..and where to buy on the net
Ivan,
Did you put a couple rolls of film through this camera yet?
You must understand that on an older camera the light seals
(usually a foam material) may be weak and leak light in through
the film door. Until you "test use" the camera to
confirm proper operation, light tightness and accurate meter
operation, you may be wasting your money. Any number of
malfunctions may crop up during your test use of the camera.
Please take a couple days to use this camera with the lens that
is on it. When you see that it works properly and to your
satisfaction we will all put our two cents in on what a good
choice of lens and tripod (with a high powered zoom you will need
a tripod) would be. I promise.
But to buy a lens for an untested camera is putting the horse
behind the cart.
Frank
