It is tempting, but I have my Horseman now. I just need to buy the BTZS developing tubes. On the other hand it would be fun. But then... well maybe... yes but... oh fooey.
I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

If money is tight I would stick with what you have. I wouldn't go for the 35-70 etc. as you are basically repeating what you have. I would either (a) save up for a long time for some really class glass (you'll never regret buying the DA* 50-135mm for example, a lovely lens for portraits) or (b) if you really must feed your LBA pick up some manual primes such as a 28mm or 35mm, or even something "interesting" like the Jupiter-9 85mm or the Helios 58mm. These lenses often have unusual bokeh and an interesting feel to them when used for portraits fairly wide open.

That adapter works with M42 then one could just put it on an M42->K adapter as it says near the bottom of the review. There are some Mamiya 645 lenses for sale on ebay which seem to be going for reasonable prices. This would seem to be a relatively low cost option......

I think it is the fact that the site resizes your images for you to show them on here. I prefer to upload an 800px wide image to flickr so that the site doesn't resize them.

Some of your recent "things that remain" shots ought to be automatic entries to the PPG although I have noticed they seem, generally, to prefer "nice" photos (if you see what I mean).
Best wishes, Kris.

Another lovely shot, Andrew. Less bleak than your other series but still excellent. Tip to others... click through to the larger size which is better than the reduced-sized image here.

Well, sadly the good Burgers of the PPG didn't like it They did, however, like my snowy trees and the ice-covered barbed wire. The last one surprised me when it was accepted. I am still waiting to see if the Atlantic sunrise and one of my factory pictures gets in.

A certain well-known ebay seller has the FD-1 viewfinder for sale at about a hundred pounds more than it is worth... ~sigh~
