Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!

That`s even worse when you`re 63 !!

Hi selectcase

I bought a Spotmatic 1000 back in 1991 from Fairs Cameras in Rock Ferry,Merseyside.It cost me £129.50 plus £8.50 for the hot shoe attachment.Also £15.96 for a pack of four Kodak 35mm 36 exposure 100 ASA.

All still in the ERC with a 50mm f2 lens,original box and paperwork.
I used it a lot between `91 and `93 when I bought an ME Super and got into M mount lenses,before moving up to the MZ50 which I gave to my daughter and got an MZ5n.Then Digital happened !!

Lovely camera and in its day as now an extremely useable and friendly camera.

Enjoy

Ah,davex,as a lover of fine wine and food you must have heard of the Italians,Spanish & Portugese ! As a retired Maitre Chef de Cuisine with an interest in such things,I was also taught that the French learned their cuisine from the Italians , who in their time had learnt from the Chinese ( Marco Polo and the Spice Route ).I too am a bit of a francophile - but as you say..............however !!

I keep all my lenses not in use in an Ikea 5 drawer tallboy/chest either in their original cases or in a loose plastic bag.Any silica gel sachets I get go into the drawers with them.
No problems so far - 28 years .

Welcome Beth - enjoying it is surely what we are all about ?

Everything else is learned either by asking,failing/succeeding,trial and error,or friendly advice.

I love my Pentaxes and I love the ability to capture whatever in the world is within my eyeline and interesting to me - if others approve I am doubly blessed.

Any questions this is the place to be.

Oh I hate these because tomorrow I will have thought of ten more !!
No Order :

Bladerunner
Spartacus
Highlander
Gladiator
Life of Brian
The Jerk
Wicker Man (original !!)
Once Upon a Time in America
The Wild Bunch
African Queen

There --------------I`ve just thought of at least 3 more - oh bums !!

Tony

Me too - O Pentax master - did you see Asimov`s I,Robot ?? Clever !!

That was no lady - that was Sigourney Weaver - mmmmmm
She`s in Avatar too
Vangelis` music makes Bladerunner ( from a short story by Phillip K Dick )and Ian M Banks is monster even when he isn`t writin sci-fi !

Sorry impotentspider - weak attempt at humour based on misspelling - must be my age - only things close to an Andriod ( sic ) are the huge exoskeletons used by the miners/infantry

Hi Prieni - I`ve been on to the website and the only Firmware updates/downloads refer to the *istDL,DS,and DL2 - no mention of the bog standard *istD bought originally in December `03

Any views ??

Appreciate

Tony
