You're right about dust - it makes dust on digital sensors pale into insignificance.

Dust always was a problem with film.

I've been looking at your website, which is very impressive!

This is a Classified Ad and we need to move this discussion - please start it again in Pentax lenses, after which I shall tidy up this thread.

Yes, 1975 for the Contax RTS. Memory puts it much later, but apparently not!

Surely the Contax/Yashica mount was much, much later than the K mount?

Music properly recorded always sounds best on proper Hi-Fi. This means powerful amplifiers, large speaker assemblies and correct placement of these within the listening space.

High-end Hi-Fi is very, very expensive these days. It does however soon show up modern compressed CDs. My best sounding CDs date from the earlier days of the technology. We have now gone down a path that has reduced quality.

I've just had a look at Amazon and the original CD is available used at some ridiculous price. The remastered version is apparently not as good quality-wise, suffering from severe compression.

I'm surprised how many of my CDs are now collector's items.

It would be incredibly nice if it turns out that SmutjeUK is a philanthropic multi-billionaire with an interest in Pentax, and is about to send all the items on the list that follows! Alas, most probably isn't...

I think I would quite like a brand new, unused Pentax LX, all boxed up and forgotten on some dealer's shelf, and suddenly on offer for a knock-down price. There will be one somewhere!

You posted it in a thread in General Digital Photography section, but I've now locked that so we can pick up the thread here.
