Brilliant, what a testament to Pentax, what era was this lens Peter, my oldest is about 1980. And I like the unintentional "selfie". Lovely to see a set-up that is obviously used.

Thanks guys for link. Job done.

I would like to add my best wishes to you all for a happy and peaceful Christmas, especially to all who post advice for others.

Eyecup arrived safely. In good order. Thanks Bill, Happy Christmas.

I have a plan (sorry that should read cure) for those poor souls suffering from L.B.A. My cure is, you send me the lens you do have, I will then send you high quality photos of the lens that you aspire to that you can display on your walls, thus curing you of the need to purchase said lens while increasing my stock of lens that I do REALLY need. There I think that will work, must dash nice young men in white coats at my door, Happy Christm........ argh get off me you foo.....

To get back to the OP. Over the years many people have asked me "what camera should I buy John" I have always asked them, what do you intend taking photographs of? and they don't really know. They then say but you have lots of camera stuff to which I reply, where is it now as we speak, and the answer to that is usually, in the cupboard at home. So if you want (and can afford to spend) many pounds on camera gear and leave it in a cupboard for a great deal of the time, then go ahead and buy. If not save it for something you will use regularly. I think the point I have painfully tried to make is if you can afford to do it and not regret it, then the choice is yours, nobody else can make that decision for you.

Payment sent
