Not selling mine either, makes a great travel camera. AA Eneloop batteries or whatever the local shop has, couple of prime lenses or zooms. Light, compact and fun to use, fit everyting into a Nova 3 bag including a flash

Some might have thought I was a victim of LBA, but I haven't bought any new glass in over a year. Truth is I was just trying to find what I liked.....
I hadn't bought anything in ages until recently, now I find myself buying 2 lenses in the space of a month. I think it's time I called it a day, I'm happy with everything in my current kit, I think I finally reached the conclusion with the DA 15 Limited, until Pentax release something longer than 300mm that is

Thanks Gwyn

I have two lists of lenses, one contains them all from K series onwards, the other is the current kit (the ones I use) I have a real problem selling, but they'll all probably go at some point down to just the ones I use

I think I'm almost cured of LBA but would be seriously tempted by something longer than 300mm from Pentax.

Totally agree, it also keeps my other half from complaining too loudly

There's definitely some truth in that, but I've got to the stage of selling a lens if I buy a new one. So up on Ebay soon with a K 300m f/4 mint, cased, c/w 77mm Hoya HMC Sky 1b alomg with my 645 kit that I never use these days. The only other lens I desire is the FA 31mm Ltd (at the moment) but I can't justify the cost when I already have the FA 28/2.8 and FA 35/2

The review was quite impressive IMHO and I wanted to know more so Googled Samsung NX. There's a German company making lens adapters for various mounts including Pentax

Saw the listing this morning, Buy it Now £370 and was tempted. When I went for another look the price had dropped to £340 Couldn't believe my luck, just couldn't resist at that price, I've been after one forever!

#260640166441 - Pentax DA 15mm f/4 Limited, boxed all accessories. MINT

Hi Mike

Good results considering the less than ideal conditions, liking #3 I'm planning to go to an air show in Rhyl, Morth Wales at the start of August. Not sure what I'll find there, I can only make the Sunday due to other commitments on Saturday, hoping the weather improves.

Regards,

John
