On this camera it'll make a great portrait lens.

I suppose that there might be an adapter that allows use of T-mount lenses on M42 cameras, but you'll need to research it. It has to do with the back-focus.

The Lexar cards with Write Acceleration tecnology work on the Pentax DSLR's. WA makes the camera read the card a lot faster, so it's worth the extra expense to get decent Lexar WA enabled cards.

"delivery only"? "we no longer accept Pay Pal"?

I suspect the camera fell off the back of a truck, if you know what I mean.

There have been digital 4x5 backs before, but they're scanning backs. They aren't useful for moving subjects.

By expanding the dimensions by one more inch on one side, they'd have a true digital one-shot 4x5 back.

I suspect 110 megapixels on a small chip would drown out the image with noise! For that many pixels, you need a lot of room!

Yes, I've used it once or twice, but why bother? Photoshop can take care of all that for you.
I think it's mostly for those multi-strobe photos, where you study a tennis or golf swing. Or get artsy with a dancer.

If you're serious about protecting your investment, business insurance is the obvious choice. Of course, you need to be in business, but even if your company is not related to photography, you could always find some business use for the cameras.

I have two MX bodies I've used since they were bought new in the 1970's. They have always been solid and dependable. They also have DOF preview, something I consider essential in a camera body.

To be percisely accurate, the 45-125 will be the so-called "equavilent" of 67.5-187.5, if you want to be really picky.

The 45-125 gives a range of angle of view on the digital cameras which is similar to the popular 80-200 lenses that were used on 35mm full frame film cameras.

I beleive the DA designation means the lens is designed specifically for the smaller APS-C sensor, which means it won't cover the full frame on a 35mm camera.
