It was your FA43 pictures that persuaded me to buy mine! I couldn't even wait for SRS to get a silver one in stock so ended up with a black one.

The anti-spam thing is the one provided by foliopic. It is a little hard to see I'll admit.

Thanks for the kind comment, I'm glad that it looks OK.

Best wishes, Kris.

A while ago I won a years subscription to the foliopic website hosting people. I have finally got around to doing something with it.

It is still very much a work in progress but if you want to have a look it can be found here.

Comments, error corrections, free lenses all gratefully accepted...

Back to the reviews issue. If you select something from the drop-down box to limit the reviews you see, you do not get what you expect. Thus, if you select 'all' you get nothing, and if you select 'lenses' you get only one of the two lens reviews.

Bit hard to say really as I have never really quantified what I use and how often but I would say...

Used quite a bit a like a lot: SMC Pentax-M 100mm f/2.8

Used much less than it ought to be especially considering the cost: SMC Pentax-FA 43mm Ltd.

Of my expensive lens purchases (the DA* 50-135, the DA 12-24mm, the FA 43mm) I use the FA much less than I expected. I thought I might use it on film a fair bit but I tend to go for the 'K' 50mm f/1.2 as it is easier to focus manually, and on the SF1 and Z20 I use my F35-70 zoom.

All the same, I don't think I'll sell it and I still daydream of the other two FA Ltds...

I love St Cross, lovely place. Stunning images too, especially the first one.

Although usually my sympathies lie with photographers and not the misuse of Section 44 and so on, in this case it strikes me the 'photographer' was deliberately baiting the security guards and and policeman with a view to getting his five minutes of fame.

My first 35mm was an ME Super and when I peered through the viewfinder of some other cameras I kept wondering what was wrong. I was certainly spoiled!

K.

I voted yes simply because the take-over has no impact on my desires. Dunno what I'll buy though, depends what comes along. Given I am using film more and more a 67 seems most likely!

K.

Quite true, but it is fun to have anyway. The only viewfinder I am missing now is the FD-2 which ought to be cheap but always seems to go for silly money.
