Pentax have always provided some unique lenses and a study of the range available in the 1960s and 1970s reveals some odd but excellent optics. The 30mm f/2.8 is one of them, relatively rare now and quite expensive.

Your picture set is excellent, like these very much. I'm not convinced it was shooting on film that made any difference, but on the other hand if doing so changes the mindset then maybe it can.

It's a good job you guys reminded me I have to take a cameras well as the lens. How embarrassing would that have been?

Sorry about the delay posting some pictures. last Sunday was scheduled, but then the new Wendy House arrived and had to be assembled.....clearly playhouses take priority.

Next plan is Sunday at Martin Mere, so I shall settle in one of the hides, with a flask of coffee, cold bacon sandwiches and the 150-450mm lens.

A whisper from the AF and the SR system probably.

The trouble is, the camera has taken a few knocks and is not going to be an attractive purchase. eBay might still be the best option, but you will need to outline its history and probably will get a very low price, if you sell it at all.

Brett is brilliant and gave us a fantastic talk at ADAPS a few years ago.

"Discontinued" lenses seem to stay around for a very long time though, so I guess we have time to buy an 18-135mm if we want to. It's one of my favourite lenses, despite its technical "failings", the character of the image it produces is very pleasing.

The 50mm f/1.4 is another lens that has been reported as discontinued time and again over recent years. It's still with us, and might well be very useful with the new FF body!

Page 96 of the manual explains everything.

You cannot have fixed ISO in green, Tav pr movie modes.
