Have you considered mowing lawns to raise the money for that 77mm

Its a little soft around the face but i know how difficult it is getting that critical focus when you are so close to these little devils.
Keep em coming mate.

Another great shot, very ammusing
Your a good advertisment for this lens but i'm not paying AU$2100 bucks for it
You had better ask Chirpy about how you find goldmines, there must be a few still 'down under'
All our goldmines are mined out im afraid. well the one under my house is anyway

I think this weeks competition gives an unfair advantage to Clarky and others from 'down under'

I don't think this battery business is really relevant. It's not like a DSLR, which consumes lots of big, heavy, hungry, batteries. You put a battery in the Super A and it will last for a year, maybe three. And a spare is smaller and lighter than a 2p piece, so it's not a problem to carry a lifetime's supply.
I don't have any Pentax stuff at the moment (except the K10D, my Auto 110 set and a compact 90 Zoom) and I like taking them apart, cleaning them up and putting them together again (jigsaw style) as much as I like taking photos with them. I can't seem to go to a car boot sale these days without buying an Olympus Trip (currently own 7), Rollei B35 (2) or even a Kodak Brownie (3). Most of them I end up selling or giving away once they're working & looking like new again; others (like my Rollei TLR and my Leica IIIf) I can't imagine ever letting go of.
So while I'm sure the Super A is a better body it just doesn't tickle my fancy in the same way the MX does...
Well he is doing the opposite to you guys and selling his DA lenses as he is in a bit of a financial bind at the moment.
He reasons it will be easier to replace his digital stuff when he gets back on his feet and will just revert back to film with all his beloved older lenses, which he swears he will never sell. Sound reasoning i guess.
He has some nice DA and EX Sigma lenses also, so i might pick up a bargain or 2.
