Are we vegans or are we needing high calorie big fat lenses?
Hello Pentax...you once strolled the catwalk as a full figure model. Since then, you have been on a skinny, narrow minded, aperture restrained diet.
Heloooooooo, dig out the drawings and give us what we want.
Yours faithfully....Pentaxians.

What affects me most, is lunch, I hate it. Today for example, I knew I was having lunch with a friend at 2:00PM and probably finished by 4:00PM.
Before lunch I had decided that, as it's a beautiful day and 26 degrees C outside, I'd take one of my cameras for a walk and try and bag a shot or three of a cuckoo, a hoopoe, or a newly arrived bee eater perhaps.
Fat chance. We finished at 4:15PM and I'm stuffed with huge portions of ensalada, pan, macaroni con salsa de tomate y atun, emperador con salsa verde, crema de almendras, a cafe belmonte and a cafe cortado. All washed down with a nice bottle vino tinto.
I'm more likely to take a siesta than a walk right now.
OK, OK, I don't hate it at all really . . . ZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.
Translation for those interested:-
ensalada = salad
pan = bread
macaroni con salsa de tomate y atun = pasta penne with tomato and tuna sauce
emperador con salsa verde = swordfish with a garlic sauce
crema de almendras = cream of almonds with a caramel base & cream and chocolate sauce on top
cafe belmonte = strong coffee, condensed milk, & brandy (tastes like a hot Baileys)
cafe cortado = strong coffee and hot milk in equal measures
vino tinto = red wine (as if you didn't know).
The price . . . 10€ for a menu del dia (menu of the day).

The bigger picture is that you are aware of the situation.
Who's in control? You are of course. Whether you are inclined to shoot or chill is down to you. The fact that you say that you may get shots?..... even better as your still focussed. As it was, you still enjoyed the time. Live it or lose it.
Best regards from Perth, WA.

It's all semantics at the end of the day.
Some kit is good at one thing, other kit better at another. I buy what I see is best for a particular need.
The objective is to get a result.
I see that as "by whatever means available".

I had several rolls damaged going in and out of Russia. Result was green stripes across the images on the negs. From then on I bought film locally and got it developed there.
If you present the film to security when going through the X ray end of security, they will often do a visual inspection. If they refuse, ask politely to see a supervisor. These days, normal staff are too frightend to let anything go through without X ray and are not willing to make the call.

I'm sat here listening to music and considering what to do this weekend. In that I really mean what/who to photograph. The red wine's kicking in and the batteries are charging.
So, do you shoot better dependent on mood?
I think I do.
There's a frame of mind which I just get totally lost with a camera in my hand.
Talk to strangers and make conversation?..... Big time.
Does it pay off?.....of course it does, people become relaxed and comfortable. What makes better people pictures?.....people.
Have a good weekend and get those shots.
