The 85mm f/4.5 lens also had a bigger brother the 300mm f/5.6. Both were very special and very expensive. They had fluorite and quartz elements to correct against chromatic aberration produced by IR and UV light.

Still no takers ?

Something for the collector with a larger wallet than mine.

I have a mate (and fellow aviation enthusiast) who lives close to East Midlands. Thanks for the info, I've past it on. I've never seen a 225, but its little sister the 124 has been to Stockholm a few times. I of course have never had a camera to hand to capture the moment.

Cheers,

Fingers crossed.

Pentax could retrofit so many good features that are pure firmware to older models (yes, I know they are in the business of selling product). Most of us have been loyal to Pentax for many years, it's payback time.

This is so true. I hope someone from Pentax reads this.

Good luck kris, and have a nice time. And when are we going to see you on Time Team

Never been on Time Team but I did star in "Terry Jones' Barbarians".

And there I was idly hopping through the satellite TV channels last night, when I thought to myself - hold on, I recognise that face !

Interesting program Kris.

Where does the Kodak 'Brownie' fit? That was my first camera.

It used 127 film, was certainly not compact, and did not have interchangeable lenses.

OK, I guess it was compact in its day.

Mine too! In 1950 I think!

I also started with one of these. At the time I thought it was a great camera.

Years ago I took every lens I owned with me (just in case), but these days I carry as little as possible. At the moment just the K10 and 16-45 seem to cover most of my needs. I might take another lens along in a spare jacket pocket (protected in a soft pouch). If I'm using a film body I like to just take a 24mm lens along.

All the best for 2010,

Thanks for all the answers. Now I know they exist I'll keep a look out on eBay etc. One is bound to turn up sooner or later.
Cheers,
