A broken man

I made a stop at the Worcester PC World and they had the Pentax 100 f2.8 macro at £349 AND I DIDN'T BUY IT!

I just can't justify it.

So, you can get a bargain in PC World on a discontinued line (for them). I nearly bought it to resell but then I though - resist!

Nothing that I could see - if they had the 15mm DA it would have been another story.

My son didn't help - he was saying just do it! I have my Vivitar 100 3.5 macro which is amply good enough for me. It is, it really is, it truly is. Thank the Lord I don't commute into Worcester any more.

From your signature, it doesn't look like you've sold much!

Clarky - it was visions of my wife's reaction or the required duplicity that restrained me this time.

Incidentally I am living witness that Clarky sells gear. I bought a 21 ltd from him because he didn't use it much. Guess what? Neither do I but I can't see why not apart from reaching for the Sigma 10-20 when going wide.

Perhaps it'll get more use when I'm travelling light which the 10-20 isn't. Very nice lens all the same so I'm not selling.
