I got as far as buying the zoom, the enlarger lens and the connecting ring, but chickened out of gutting the zoom. I really must finish the job...

Love the pencils.

I shall never forget seeing the sea topple my tripod and watching my beloved DA* 50-135 break in two on a rock. Amazingly, they managed to fix it.

It does seem a shame given how much development must have gone into the cameras and the selection of lenses.

A friend of mine has a boat which he defines as a hole in the water into which you throw money. I feel the same way about photography! But as long as I am having fun, and the bank balance can cover it, I'm not that bothered. I don't buy things I cannot afford... hence the lack of a 645Z and a set of lenses.

I'm having an attack of déjà vu... Once upon a time it was "Pentax will die without a full frame camera", now it is "Pentax will die without a CSC". Somehow, the name seems to live on.

Lovely set and Gareth picked out exactly the same two photos I did. Both are super images.

On my round the world trip five years back (owch... is it really that long ago?) I took my LX for colour film and MX for BW. I never regretted the extra weight and although I shot a fair bit on my K20D, I also got through a lot of film.

Cheers, Kris.

Some super images there. It looks like a great trip. I especially like the 2nd and 6th images.

I'm off to find your film images now...

Some fascinating images and must be fun to set-up.

I must admit that I am glad for the exposure latitude of modern films. Makes a pleasant change after years spent shooting Kodachrome 64!

Need? Probably not. Like to own/use? Definitely.
