Just saw a play and had a couple of bottles of 'Anchor Steam' allegedly brewed in San Francisco... Quite nice!

The play was a work in progress, not bad but the beer helped...

M lenses will not need a converter to work on Pentax DSLRs...

Do you perhaps mean 'M42' ?

I have a Hama 'Omega Premium II' tripod... It's alright but for the money and in hindsight I could have bought used and got something better...

I keep comming very close to buying a Red Snapper for the reasons listed by davidstorm above but when you 'have' a tripod it becomes difficult to justify buying another one (especially to 'her indoors')...

But if I could justify it (to her indoors) then I'd be going for: http://www.redsnapperuk.com/camera-accessories/RS-324___RSH-12_Head.html#nogo

And possibly a macro head as well (maybe)

I have one in for repair at the moment.
Not sure whether I'll be keeping it or not as yet but feel free to PM me for details of repair or an offer and we'll take it from there...

Are you UK based? (if not I honestly don't want the hassle)

The problem with 35mm, either a slide or neg, is ... you have to produce an output of some type.... If you're scanning then you need a lot of elements in the process to come together optimally....

A digital camera with FF can produce all this with just one press of the shutter.
Yes, and that speaks for the convenience of digital. But excellent as digital is right now, even the best does not yet quite match the quality of some film in some hands. Those hands will be greatly more experienced than mine ... but I can judge the results with my eyes readily enough, and digital still has a distance to travel, if indeed it will ever match the tonal qualities of film.
About 25 years, by then most if not all film users will be pushing up the buttercups.

According to KenRockwell.com we'll need a 175MP sensor to equal the resolution of film.

...

Yes DSLRs will have 175MP sensors, but for a few years yet.
I for one don't want to have to deal with file sizes a 175MP FF sensor would produce...

Does give me a bit of hope that my FA's will be of use after all
