Please don't feel insulted. If you don't dare to use a lens, it is quite useless no matter how brilliant its optics is. Buy something else you like to use. I had my dearest equipment stolen earlier this year (I reported here) including a not so easy to replace SMC-A28/2.0. To me, it died an heroic dead in action. By now I bought (all used) a MZ-5n, FA43/1.9 and M135/3.5 as well as a inexpensive Sigma EF430ST flash. I have to admit that none of them is really difficult to replace, though the 43/1.9 is a bit on the expensive side (at least for me). Just a piece for thought. > > ------------------------------ > > Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2001 13:29:14 -0800 > From: "Gerald Cermak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: OT: Earthquake in Seattle > > jeepgirl asks: > > > Have you thought about insurance? > > jeepgirl > > Good insurance will pay for the actual replacement price of all items, but > it won't cover the time spent (and hassles) re-acquiring a large collection > of Pentax equipment, especially if most of the equipment is no longer > manufactured. > Judging from the (too) large number of ebay related posts on this list, I thought at least some people on this list like the time spend hunting Pentax lenses. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
