Cracking set although I think number 6 looks a bit "warm" to me

Black Friday next month ... probably worth looking then although it may be too new for any discounts even then.

I still have my original 16-50 and 50-135mm and sometimes use them on the K-1 in crop mode. Still great lenses.

Would love to go, just too far for me unfortunately.

Promised myself sometime ago I wouldn't buy any more Pentax lenses

So have just purchased a Pentax HD FA 43mm F1.9 Limited

Even the cameras with touch screens work just as well with them on.

Possibly because, sometimes, you can't actually get the one (or at least a good version) you need. e.g, when I bought the K-3 in 2014 I was able to get a (Ex-Pro brand) set of protectors for the rear & top screens, but when I then bought the K-3 II a couple of years later, I could only find a protector for the rear screen and not one for the top screen.

OK, I could have "cut and shut" a larger one from somewhere, but never got around to that.

As I said, I had one one on EVERY camera I have owned including the K-3 II (top and back)

Obviously you didn't look hard enough I use these people for all my protectors LINK

Edit: Wasn't the K-3 and K-3II screen sizes the same anyway or do I remember that wrong.

Lovely set David, really regret selling you the 17-35mm, especially as I sold the 15-30mm not long after.

I think 4, 5 & 11 are my favourites ... re the house with 2 numbers, our home in Spain has the same, one is the road number and the other is the plot number. Not been out there for 4 years, really miss the scenery and the general pace of life.

I really don't understand why people don't use rear/top glass protectors. I use them for every camera I buy and they have saved the screen a number of times.

Even the cameras with touch screens work just as well with them on.
