Hi all,
I'm 28, French, living near Paris, gunsmith
I'm interested in Pentax since '95, my father gave me his ME equiped with a SMC-K 50mm f/1,2 ; so easy to work with !!
During 2 years, I thought it was faulty because all the pictures taken with it were slightly out of focus (very slightly, but visible ...)
Then I realised I needed glasses ... that was SO logical as it isn't an autofocus ...

Now that I have a job and a little money ahead, I bought a few SMC-M lenses : 28mm f/2.8, 40mm f/2.8, 100mm f/2.8, 135mm f/3.5, 50mm Macro f/4, 24-50mm f/4, 40-80mm f/2.8-4, 45-125mm f/4, 80-200mm f/4.5 ...

I think I'm badly ill ; those lenses are so beautiful !!
I can't wait to try them
And still, I'm looking for others SMC-M lenses.

Ciao,
Voronov.

That's certainly a credible arsenal of lenses. Odd that you are french, have a russian nickname, and use italian language in your post.

Do you have an identity crisis ?

Good luck with the lenses.

I studied russian in school and I like comics books (la Machination Voronov / The Voronov Plot).
No crisis, I assure you !!

My only problem : I have some other cameras : Rollei 35S (singapore), Minox 35GT, Praktica MTL3, Minolta 7S II, Vivitar 35ES, Olympus Mju II & Camedia 5060 WZ ...

Bye !

Bonjour Voronov

Welcome to the forum,
Unlike Mannesty I didnt notice the "ciao" in your post, I was more concerned that you were a gunsmith but discovered you needed glasses, I had a mental picture of the rich and famous out on a grouse shoot but unable to hit anything because you had trimmed thier gun sights. that really appealed to my English sense of humour, Thank you for making me smile.

And Peter, I hope you dont take everyones username to heart, I dont want you pointing me towards those viagra posts that keep popping up LOL

Hi impotentspider,
Well, in fact I learned about my eyes long before I discovered firearms !!
Glasses at 16, guns at 22 ... otherwise it would have been ... not so good !!
"By golly, I miss every damn bird I aim at !!"
And by the way, I LOVE english humour ... especially the Monty Python Flying Circus "nudge-nudge, wink wink, SAY NO MORE !!"

Auf wieder zehen !
VoronoV.
