The only MZ-5n I have on my database went for £56 and that was a body only and boxed so it seems in about the right ball-park. The only Z-1p I have went for considerably more. (I don't have many of the more modern cameras as I was more interested in prices for the screw-mount bodies and the M-series.) Personally I think the Z-1p is an ugly bit of kit, but I don't know that the relative build quality is of the two.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Kris.

Because my work account is proudly listed on the college web pages I get hundreds of spam messages a day. My personal hotmail account I get possibly a couple a week. It is nothing to do with Mac v. PC but how you use and distribute your address. Put it out there on an open web page and you're stuffed. Personally I would send spammers to the lowest pits of hell for eternity.

Best wishes, Kris.

Very nice, I like it very much. The only thing I would change is to clone out the graffiti on the rock.

Nice image, thanks for showing us.

Best wishes, Kris.

If I was selling or buying lenses for 35mm I would have a sense of how much they should go for and what is good and what is bad. My problem with the LF lenses is knowing the good from the bad. I guess I'll find out, hopefully not the hard way!

Thanks for the link Dan. I had seen some of their lenses on ebay too. I wonder if they would do a reasonable part exchange.

Cheers, Kris.

Lovely shots and just goes to show what quality one can get from a 30+ year old lens.

Best wishes, Kris.

Looking at those photos I am less thinking "I have the wrong camera" and more thinking "I am in the wrong job..."

Cheers, Kris.

Some years ago I went to a friends wedding in Romania. When I got there I was handed a pile of films and asked to take photographs. Argh. All worked out well in the end although I think I started going grey that day.

Best wishes, Kris.

If you look in the latest Pentax User Club magazine you'll see several photographs by John R. using the 16-45mm.

Best wishes, Kris.

Yup, that lens is now on the back burner.

It came with a 210mm lens (equivalent of a c. 90mm on 35mm) which is not really what I need. I am now looking for something in the c. 90mm range and may well sell the 210mm to pay for it. Although as you know, selling lenses is easier to say than to do...

He had the advantage of knowing what he was doing. I am going to be on a steep learning curve. It is a bit difficult to merge into the background with one of these.

Will do, although it might be a little while before I have something I am happy to post!

Best wishes, Kris.
