On my way to the station in Bradford, en-route to that London I stopped off at the city's last camera shop to drop off my A35 2.8 for repair...
As some of you know I've been in the market for a TC... They pull out a Pentax-F 1.7 AD converter... Is this the kind of thing you've been looking for? I'm asked...
Yes. Replies I, thinking it'll be well beyond my budget...
Fifty quid...
I may still be in possession of his hand...
WHOOP!
I wonder how much the A35 2.8 repair will be now they have read this!!

I spent half an hour experimenting with it this evening and it appears to work particularly well paired with my 'Pentax-M 40mm 2.8'... From the quick test I did (using a Coke can at ISO-5000) it appears (to my eye using only the K5's LCD screen) to give a slight increase in IQ!
I'll post something when I have a more interesting subject...
The M40 is not a lens I use often but paired with the F-1.7-AF-Converter it gives a FoV of 68mm which sits quite nicely between my FA50 and D-FA100mm macro lens... So it makes a little used lens more useful too!
Won't be going on ebay (or more likely the classifieds here) for a while...

Shooting film is a total change of pace for me. It requires more planning and a degree of patience; both of which I forget seem to forget about when shooting with my DSLR...
I find that after shooting two or three rolls my shots in general, once moving back to digital are better for a while... Until my pace changes and my patience wains again...
Might have to order a couple of rolls for the MZ-7 and MX this weekend!!
