I would suggest one of the "plastic fantastics" - if on crop sensor the 35mm f/2.4 and if on full frame the 50mm f/1.8 Pentax lenses.

It is a superb lens, but it is indeed very heavy. It is also great in the rain. I carried one around Pickering for several hours in solid rain and it came out of it unscathed.

There's a whole section of Vintage Lens Reviews I have been doing for ePHOTOzine: https://www.ephotozine.com/reviews/vintage-lenses-133 including a few Pentax ones.

If anyone has anything interesting they'd be prepared to loan then I'd be happy to review it. As these are only done as time allows, please PM me first so we can discuss it.

All my Paterson file negative filing sheets are still in fine order, some 40-45 years on. They are kept cool and dark.

I don't know about that, but Sue still refuses to carry the ladder so I can get a nice elevation to landscape shots. I would gladly have carried her books from school....

Glad to hear you're up and about Gareth. I guess it will be one step at a time, but hopefully you are well on the way to recovery.

The CD range of Soligor lenses was a premium range dating, I think, from the 1970s or 1980s.

Wow, that's crept up on me, we've got other things on Saturday so we'll have to see what we can do on Sunday. Thanks for posting the reminder!
