If you wind the clock back 20 plus years, then I used to like listening to Yes while I was mucking about in my DIY dark room.

"Close to the Edge" and "The Yes Album" being personal favourites.

In keeping with this being a photography forum perhaps a Hasselblad 500 should be in the list.

Just to keep the Swedish end up, so to speak.

Cheers,

Fellow LBA sufferers. Heads up for a rare thing of beauty at ffordes.
The A* 135 /1.8 I think £799.00 seems pretty reasonable. These things are very very very very rare.

They have a lot of nice second hand Pentax glass in at the moment. I guess someone has sold up their collection.

What a great set. Thats given me some inspiration to have a go at something similar. Plenty of rusty and rotting farm machinery not too far from where I live.

I can actually hear Mannesty's 500mm lens in the Classified section softly calling to me....

LBA is a cruel and wicked mistress. Can't someone please buy it soon and put me out of my misery !!

Ebay is the root cause of my LBA. I try to avoid it as much as possible these days and use the kit I aready own.

That said I one day, when I scrape together enough money I will get the DA 12-24....

Perhaps just a quick look on ebay before bed and see if I can find a stupidly cheap one somewhere...

Oh no I must resist... The temptation is too great...

Hi Stefan,
I would also consider the old DA16-45 if I were you. Okay its f/4 and not the f/2.8 you want, but it is a really capable lens and you can pick up second hand examples quite easily for a lot lot less than the DA16-50.

A good comparison of the two here:

Last summer I went around Stockholm doing some touristy things. I noticed pretty much everyone else with a DSLR camera was either a Canon or Nikon user. Then I went to classic car show and I spotted lots of fellow swedish Pentax users. Would I be right in assuming the average Pentaxian is also a classic car enthusiast ?

I like the last shot of the Jag best.

Cheers,
