Work horse

I know the problem!

Me too Or should that be

Anyway. For years my core kit was an ME Super and a SMC-M 50mm F2 and a SMC-M 28mm F2.8. When the ME Super died it was replaced with an MX in 1993. That was stolen. My current workhorse is the K10D with the kit lens. Despite all the other offerings in my bag, the kit lens still gets the most use probably because I appear to have a good example and have not felt the need to "upgrade" to the 16-45 or the 16-50, preferring to add to the range rather than replace anything.

Cheers, Kris.

In my film days it would have been one of my LXs with the Pentax 28mm shift on the front, second choice M series 50mm f1.4

Now the lens which is fitted to the K7 in the camera bag is DA*16-50. Second choice lens would be DA*50-135 or DA*60-250 depending on the shoot.

Favourite set up for speed/convenience while on a general purpose shoot (eg while working as the official photographer for an event) is K7+DA*15-50 and K20D+DA*60-250 both with grips and carried on an Optec dual camera harness. Then all I need as carry around extras is spare flash cards. The DA*60-250 gets replaced by DA*50-135 when the light falls off or for indoor work (eg bands).

Good logic.

The camera I used for many years was a Super-A bought with the A 50mm 1:1.7 lens. That camera most often had a Takumar (non-SMC) 70-210 lens on it with which I recorded most of my family's earlier life.

Since 'going digital' I've probably taken more images in the last few years than I did in almost 20 years with that combination.

ME Super with the SMC 50 1.7.

It was given to me by my dad when I was about 21 (ish) when he got his Contax. I have been in using it for over 15 years, initially as a point and shoot for family stuff (I was third in the pecking order at family functions behind my grandad, and dad). Then my interest grew as my ability improved and I would go out specifically to shoot.

Only went digital last year.
