Larry, your spirit of generosity never fails to impress me. And I might consider your offer except that the K-1 box has already migrated to the boxes-of-boxes corner of the storage locker and so shipping it would involve the risky use of some alternate packaging. I can’t in good conscience do that to the new toy. But thanks anyway!
BTW, one item holding me back has been the lack of a proper plate for mounting the camera on my tripod. But I did uncover my stash of miscellaneous plates this evening and will do some quick test shots tomorrow… Of course the body base is not the same shape as the *ist-D or K-5 so the oldies continue to be of little more than sentimental value. stan > On May 8, 2016, at 6:05 PM, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: > > > > Stanley Halpin wrote: >> I’ll check the 35macro and the 55/1.4 >> Give me a couple of days.
