SMC-F 50 f1.4! Guess what gem! ;) I was actually looking though the classifieds (which I never read) to see whether it was a viable option to list ist D no.2 in, and my attention was suddenly grabbed and smacked around by an ad for a supposed 'smc-f pentax 50 1:1.4', for AUD45 (that's about USD32). I figured it was highly likely a bait and switch, but I gave the number a call, and upon hearing it was indeed lettered in red, and plasticky, I called a cab and hurtled down to the seller's location. OMG! SMC-F 50mm f/1.4, practically MINT! Bought it straight away. That wasn't the end. An SMC-FA 28 f/2.8 AL as well, excellent condition, AUD55! Also spent AUD15 on a CPL, 5 on a skylight, 5 on a hood, 3 on 3 rolls of Kodak Gold 24 400. Including the AUD30 I spent on a cab, I still did pretty well I reckon. He was also selling a Sigma 600 f/8 mirror, and a mint manual focus Sigma 75-200 3.5-4.5, but I wasn't interested. Turns out he used to have an ME Super and it somehow got fried and he hadn't touched his camera gear in about a year. He was quite glad to offload it and you -know- how glad I was to be on the receiving end! So anyway, spent the rest of the afternoon at John Coyle's who inspected and helped me shoot this romantic product shot: http://home.iprimus.com.au/heygoose/imgp0243a.jpg (his body btw- mine's on holiday..) and I must say it's almost bizarre how well they go!
