Perhaps the 50-200 WR version is more desirable, pushing down the prices of the others ?

I think the sets of photos were very informative. You should definitely not feel like a moron for illustrating effects a finger print can have at different aperture settings.

Have a little patience. They are not easy to find but do exist. As it happens I purchased mine with hood from another forum member here about 3 years ago.

Mine is not for sale and is currently residing very happily on my Super A.

Happy hunting,

I wonder why the time it takes Vista to boot up from cold on my laptop seem like the longest minutes of my life.

Saw one today. Unfortunately it had an Olympus mount. Very odd looking beast.

I'm quite sure it will happen. Don't know what the possible time frame might be though.

A couple more...

Going out with the K10D and leaving the SD card safely at home in my laptop.

Going on a big family day out. Taken one shot and the battery in the K10 goes flat.

Some leasons have to be learnt the hard way I guess. Now I always make it part of my routeen to check these things before hand.

Guilty as charged. Has happened several times over the years with the Super A.

At some point back in the 1980's I have written the following prices next to some of the lenses in my "Pentax Lenses and Accessories" catalogue. I think its quite interesting as some of the lens prices are pretty close to the current second hand prices on ebay. There are some notable exceptions of course.


A15/3.5 £428
A20/2.8 £288
A24/2.8 £165
A28/2 £262
A28/2.8 £82
A35/2 £184
A35/2.8 £87
A50/1.2 £198
A50/1.4 £96
A50/1.7 £58
A50/2 £40
A85/1.4 £388
A100/2.8 £145
A135/1.8 £437
A135/2.8 £97
A200/2.8 £582
A200/4 £145
A300/4 £485
A400/5.6 £451
A600/5.6 £2166

Now if I ever get my time machine finished I'll go back and purchase a few 85's and 135's.

Cheers,
