Sad to say have to miss upcoming ploughing again (grounded by medical chappies) thanks to those who have liked my humble efforts, much appreciated and uplifting. John.

Last week, having promised the wife that I would buy NO MORE LENS, walking past charity shop, hello I thought, Pentax F 28-80, needs cleaning, £10...........well, I had to didn't i, well I know it's not highly rated, but come on £10. Be a shame not to. Got it home, the cleaning was all external dust. Result. Focus slightly off on K1 just required +6 on fine tuning. Not a bad little lens to go with the 35-70. Happy days.

I have the Pentax Rear Converter K T6-2X sitting in my drawer, where it has sat for some years, I bought it to use on an old 300/4 Pentax. The results were awful. I have not used it since, prefer to manual focus.

I have bought two lenses from Japan in the past year. Both purchases problem free, in fact the more recent took just 4 days to arrive with daily updates as to the whereabouts of my package. A very pleasurable transaction from beginning to end. Also no import duty was paid by me (lens cost £120.00 incl. P& P)

What is it about camera lenses that can reduce camera owners to gibbering wrecks over an item that they don't really need, will seldom use, spend numerous hours thinking about what they will do with it when it arrives, and then put it on a shelf........and look at it. I confess I am in this category and do need help.

At last. I have been offering up prayers to St. Veronica that this temptation would be removed from me.
