Thanks everybody. Nice to get a little boost now and again. Cheers, Kris.

I always did like my SMC Pentax-M 100mm f/2.8 lens: a pretty photo.

After the disappointment of not getting anywhere in the PUG quarterly competition, I won Amateur Photographer picture of the week with this image shot using my K20D and my SMC Pentax-M 100mm f/2.8 lens.

Yet more sheep.

Those old M lenses have life in them yet.

Having spent years using slide film I found exposing to the right fairly natural. Having given up on slides (I used to take them for lecture purposes but now I can use a scan of a negative film as easily as a scan of a slide) I'm finding the latitude of print films a bit of a luxury. Kodak Ektar can be a bit fussy, however.

Cheers, Kris.

K135/3.5 which is never chosen over the K135/2.5 or the A135/2.8 but I won't get rid of it because it is a K series prime.

My K200/4 which I don't like as much as my M200/4 but won't get rid of because it is a K series prime.

Various odd Russian standard lenses which aren't worth selling.

SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2 because it was my first ever lens.

My Tamron 70-300mm zoom because of the purple fringing etc.

There are probably others...

Sadly the K300 is the only 300mm lens I have ever used apart from an abysmal modern Tamron 70-300mm zoom which has some of the worst purple fringing I have ever seen.

I quite like my K300.

Likewise my M85/2

I haven't ever been that happy with my K200/4 and prefer my M200/4. One of my favourites though is the M100/2.8.

Best wishes, Kris.

K30s were certainly selling for much more than that not all that long ago. The price of old manual glass shot up about four years ago. As a buyer who rarely sells, I'm glad the prices are coming back down again! K.

A spilt pint! Just the financial loss alone is enough to bring anyone in Perth to tears!

Best regards

I remember all too well. The first night I was in Perth the pint I bought to go with my supper was more than the meal! Mind you, what you save on lenses helps offset the cost of beer...
