Oh a new Pentax 35mm SLR..... Now there's an idea

A boy can but dream.

I'd be keen to see the second one but with a deeper depth of focus

Would be interested to see how they'd compare

I was always one of those who would post when this issue came up, to say I have had my K30 for five years and not had a problem.....

And now this past few weeks, it has started for me.....

If only I had read about this back in 2014, when I must have spent about 50 hours reading about my choices!

Then again, if I had, I wouldn't own anything Pentax.

Swings and roundabouts.

Hopefully there will be a flood of second hand KPs when the new camera is announced!

In my head I have swapped my 100mm macro for the 85mm, and ditching the standard 55mm 1.8 takumar has virtually paid for the 8 element 50mm 1.4.

If I can bring myself to sell a couple of third party M42!lenses I'll have paid for the 105mm takumar too!

That's my justification and I'm sticking to it!

Oh, and selling my F2 and all my Nikon lenses paid for the Hasselblad.....

Just in case she's keeping tabs on me

Three lenses in as many days for me....

And to think, I've been having a good clear out the last month or so as well.

Ho hum!

Had the 105mm Takumar arrive today too

Didn't really need it really, but price too good to turn down

Even with the inflated prices the Pentax bodies are still offering great value. They are often half the price of a comparible camera from Nikon or Canon

Cracking set. What was the setup?

I think it's been the case for the last couple of years, no doubt due to the film revival.

Certainly when I picked up a 50mm 1.7 I paid 50 for mine from a decent shop although granted you could get them for around 30 on ebay
