Well, then I guess that would be impossible inasmuch as I'm only 29.

It does have a wonderful feel to it compared to trying to manually
focus
the kit lenses that came with my K-x. The older lenses make me wish I'd
taken up photography a long time ago. I can't help wondering how much
better I'd be as a photographer if I had started when those lenses were
still being made.

This lens always remind me how it was difficult to machine some metal
parts with micrometric precision during school hands-on sessions. It
gives some respect and taste for manufactured objects. Handling a lens
with perfectly adjusted but smooth focusing ring is really a joy in
itself. It has a strong comforting effect taking some photographs.

Welcome to the list, Alban!
I'm looking forward to seeing submissions from you and hope
you'll be
able to participate in the discussion more in the
future. I've gained
an incredible amount of knowledge and inspiration from PDML
and I
consider joining the list to be the smartest thing I've done
since I got
my K-x.
I hope you love your 50mm/1.7 as much as I love mine. I find
it a
complete joy to shoot with.

Hi PDMLers,
I didn't dare to introduce myself earlier before I
uploaded my three humble shots to contribute to the PDML
photo annual 2011.
I'm Alban Bernard, I'm French and a pentaxian since my
father offered me his MX and a couple of lenses on one of my
early christmas (Pentax 50mm f/1.7 and a Sigma 28mm f/2.8
Macro as a bonus). Shooting films were a bit expensive for
me at that time and so I didn't use them as I would have
liked to. My father died in 2005, then I decided to give
photography a more "serious" try. Later, I purchased my
k200d, thanks to the pentax K mount, I was happy to reuse my
father lenses in a digitally upgraded set.
I went to the PDML in 2009 to learn a lot. Good catch!
I got the inspiration and the good mood from this list even
if the traffic rate prevented me from reading all the good
post. In a certain way, reading it helped me not to be too
gear-addicted.
~Alban.
