That lens would look good on my Pentax K....

I voted a while back and mine were:

1. LX
2. MX
3. ESII

The ESII is a bit left field, but I do enjoy using my ES/ESII combo with a selection of SMC Takumar lenses. I've never used the MZ-S, and probably never will unless I win one in the Pentax Forums grand raffle, but I suspect that as great a camera as it is, I won't enjoy using it so much. Part of the fun of film, for me, is that it isn't like using the K-3. If using the film camera feels just like using my digital, then I might as well use the digital with the benefits it brings. That's why I really enjoy things like my Ondu pinhole, my Lubitel 2 or my Agfa Isolette II.

Cheers, Kris.

Its a beautifully sharp lens which Is why mine isn't for sale... Slightly on the slow side, but not unworkably so. I'll admit I tend to use my K30 more, but not because the K28 is not a good lens.

All super images. I think the first one is my favourite, but perhaps the last one... The second one is a super fungus (fly agaric?) but the background is less pleasing than 1 or 4. All great though, love 'em.

My tickets are booked. How do we book the sensor clean mentioned on the website?

Many thanks, Kris.

As it is just down the road, I have no excuses... I'll be there!

As a hobbyist who only takes stills, and has been going backwards technologically (I've mainly been shooting pinhole camera images on medium format film lately), I'm happy to keep shooting what I have.

BUT, that doesn't mean I disagree with you. Ever since I joined this forum a decade ago, there have been the gloomy nay-sayers, but even I notice the slow speed of new releases over the last couple of years and the statement that mirrorless was a fad was depressing. It reminded me of the music promoter who turned down the Beatles because rock'n'roll boy bands were also a passing fad.

Only time will tell, but even this die-hard Pentax fan is feeling a little nervous about the future.

I'll do some research and get back to you via PM. Is the "toy" lens, the wide or the tele?

Many thanks, Kris.

Must resist the temptation to add a red one to my white one! If you decide to split it I'd be interested in one or two lenses.
