Hi Stuey,
Long time no speak. See previous Post for my current thoughts. After 50 years handling a Pentax Body and Glass I have to move on if I can still take the Pics.
I am putting together a list of stuff to sell. If anybody wants to know, please send me a PM
As for purchases I have just bought some new glass so I may not buy more - I suppose it depends what's going and when 🙂

When I started out I decided not to overspend as such.
My first Pentax was my k10, which I still use, my k5 was a it's my birthday so why not kind of purchase
I started buying mf lenses so I could try out different focal lengths but ended up keeping most of them.
I love using photography as a slow down and relax part of my life and getting out and snapping often with one lens and camera as I enjoy it, no other reason to be honest 😀
The latest this that or the other doesn't really interest me - I have recently treated myself to a new lens as my trusty old sigma 70 - 300 fails sometimes so I bought a lens to sort of replace itthat as it - I hope the new purchase will serve me as well as the siggy did.
I keep up to date with the new bodies just in case one packs in and I replace it.
I have used both k5 and k10 for weddings and never had any issues or complaints but understand why a pro would want the best kit - I just try to avoid weddings and refuse any requests other than family or friends.
Get out, shoot more of what you enjoy with what you have would be my advice and buy when you have to or if it makes you happy and you have the money

That's certainly an unusual cottage ☺
There is a campsite in south Wales with a converted jet plane for hire as a holiday let that could prove interesting ☺

Those images on the link you supplied certainly reinforce the point and are inspiring. 😀
I'm sitting here camera in hand wondering if the sun may come out, then I remembered I live in Wales so it may not
Those images certainly suggest I should just go out anyway.
So I will use my normal ethos, brew first, act later☺
Regards
Stu

It's stare run David. Despite appearances it felt pretty sturdy.
There's definitely a place for you in heaven Stuey.......you'll be the one at the Purley Gates clutching a set of hinge pins asking St. Peter if he knows where 'these have come from?'
