Some old favourites there!
I have the 40mm, a 50mm f1.4 and the 70-150mm zoom from the M series. Have given me years of pleasure.

A good lens is a good lens, whoever makes it..........

The above is just a casual test shot, but it was a dull overcast day yet the colours are good and the image has plenty of contrast and loads of detail.

40mm XS on a K-01

Outstanding quality for the size and cost. It would appear that the optics are the same as the Pentax 40mm Limited, but at a fraction of the cost.

The previous owner of mine made a small hole in the rim of the lens cap and attached a 'keeper cord' so it wouldn't get lost. This also makes it a tighter fit so it doesn't come off.

Thanks... I saw that Japanese offer, but by the time you add duty, VAT and "handling charge" they become too expensive compared with the going price for black ones in the UK.

I'll let this run a bit longer, and I have a saved search on Ebay.

If nothing used and affordable turns up I'll try the major suppliers.

Anyone? Anywhere?

Browsing the web, I see many "Camera Bags" advertised have a side pouch for a laptop.

I agree with johnriley though, my days of lugging my entire kit around in a large bag the weight of a small child are over, especially with current good quality zooms. Often, just camera and a small prime lens comes with me.

The idea of the FLUCARD though, usable with K-3, and any modern smartphone running Safari or Chrome browsers is brilliant, with so many photographers owning smartphones...open the .jpg in Instagram or similar for a quick and dirty edit and upload to social media.....

I wouldn't want to do any serious editing of any important images on a 7"tablet, I would want to use my PC and big monitor.

Bigger tablets with better screens might be OK though?

Hey Cabstar,

you can flog it to some Canon or Nikon fan.......

........ and use the proceeds towards a Pentax FluCard!

Surely there must be one sitting in a drawer unused somewhere.....?
