(sry im new =)

We love new members, and we don't ask you to say you're sorry for asking questions here.

A lot of this stuff is confusing at first.

Before you know it, you'll be an expert.

Cheers

Ditto!

And welcome!

Nice work.

LOVE the horses!

Look fine on my monitor, too.

George,

Just read your PMs and am grateful for your advice as always.

The quest for the 31 Ltd will commence when the bank balance heals.

Then the 77 Ltd.

Hello, my name is Mac and I have LBA.......

You out there Batty?

Cheers, Hefty

Yer makin' me get the warm and fuzzys!

Wheeeeeeeeee............

Mike,

Finding the ideal focal length has become even more difficult when we use the same lenses for film and digital (as I do).

That's why there are so many

Oh, gosh - Ltd. LBA

Anyhoo, I'll be pleased to let you know what I discover.

Good luck with the quest.

Just sent George Lazarette a PM on this, but I don't think it will get to him.

Anyway, just to say that I'm following his recommendation and have ordered a new 43MM Ltd., in silver, here in Canada. (Can't find even one used offering on eBay. Tells me something).

I've discovered over a few years that I'm really a prime lens fan, but only have M42 screw mounts (several).

Rather than replacing them with K Mount primes, I think I should consider entering the lofty world of the leather bag

I'm paying as much for this lens as I paid for my SRS refurbed K110D and kit lens, but somehow I know it will be worth it. And it is the more reasonably priced of the Limiteds.

Stay tuned for my over-the-top gushing (objective reviews).

"It's not beautiful, but it's probably the best made of the AF cameras. Nice and simple, too. Nothing to get in the way of taking pictures."

I have one of George's SFX bodies with an SMC Pentax-F 1:3.5-4.5 35mm-135mm zoom on it, and couldn't agree more. Robust, reliable, hassle free, not elegant, but fits my hand beautifully.

Heft a combo like this for a day of two, and you're prepared for any Pentax DSLR.

Congrats!

I've revived 3 Spotmatics and a Spotmatic F with lightseals etc.

It sure is a great feeling to use these older clockwork gems and see the results, isn't it?

The MX is a fine example of Asahi's quality.

Enjoy.

Darkmunk,

Your submission was also EXACTLY what I was looking for and has been printed out for my ever-growing file of notes. I've also filed Martin's link in My Documents.

Had my reply to Martin appeared before your entry, all would have been well. As it is, I can certainly see why you were indignant and don't blame you a bit.

I really hope you accept my explanation and my appology.

My wife continually gives me heck for taking action too quickly, before I have ALL the input. Maybe I should listen to her more often.

Off to master histograms (now that I have ALL the input.)

Thanks
