I've been thinking about one too. I've shot a lot of medium format film on fixed lens cameras, it might be nice to be a bit more flexible.

I would buy one of the bargain Qs as a back-up in case it does go wrong again. K.

Yet another ME Super as my first SLR. Then an MX, followed by a K10D.

It has a very good reputation even if it comes from the period when Pentax made butt ugly cameras. It has all the bells and whistles too.

There is one listed on ebay - a bit more expensive than I expected though

That is the pre-order price from the Samyang lens people direct. I just had an email from them saying that the lens wasn't available yet but as far as they knew it was still on the cards. Not sure how these people have one for sale!

Thanks for checking. K.

Although I'd not want one myself (I rarely go above 135mm for my style of photography) I can see there is room in the line-up for a good quality TC, perhaps something matched to the DA* 300.

It is more likely that they'll make one of those than the tilt-shift lens I have been after. I was saddened to see the Samyang advert in AP didn't list a PK mount version of their lens despite it being listed in their original press release. I've just checked B&H and although they did list a PK version initially at $999 that has now vanished.

Sounds a good excuse to go back to Oz! K.

That last one is my favourite! K.

The whole Lomo thing is a really mixed blessing. Getting people to use film? Great. Promoting filthy dust covered images as art? Boo. Charging the earth for simple gear? Boo. Getting people to be instantaneous? Good. Countering the desire to be sharp right down to the last pixel? Good...

I just wish that when they bring in new cameras they would be well made. They don't need to be modern marvellous technowonders but do they really have to be plastic rubbish?

Nice little haul, congratulations! K.
