I plan to shortly sell my great condition M 100mm f/2.8. I see you have a few offers already, but if that's of any interest send me a PM.

I have a 645 with 55, 75 and 150mm lenses and it could be very good for your purpose. I also use a Yashica Mat 124G (6x6 TLR) which is more enjoyable to use but not as well suited to portraits.

I'd love a 67 but the 645 is (just) light and small enough to travel with and to use quickly, much like a 35mm SLR. I suspect the 67 would be much worse in both respects (but I'd love to have one anyway).

The K-S1 seems to be a kit with the DAL 50/1.8, their current price is 639 (less the cashback) which is far from a bargain.

The K50 is a kit with the 18-15, currently at 631.89 less cashback, which isn't too bad a deal.

Could be good deals but I'd check the SRS price beforehand to be aware of what's really good or not.

Good DSLR backpacks are pricey, many ridiculously so. The Kata is the best I've tried. BTW it comes with a rain-cover.

If I wasn't saving my pennies for a K3 I think I'd have jumped on the DA 15 and 40 offers to complete my set of DA limiteds.

I have one of these which is superb and sounds like it might fit the bill. Depends on the lenses and how much extra equipment you're talking about.

This may well not be the nest price for it:

I've seen people with the same problem before and I think it's a problem with development rather than the film. There's a name for this effect but I can't remember it.

Hmm, it says "UK sourced stock",, I'm not sure that can be true for these.

I really want one but will hopefully be in the US next year and might wait until then.

A very nice set. I'm also not a big fan of Ektar, but 3 & 4 here are very good.
