That's true. You don't... As I see it, it's merely evidence that we all have other lives, and at times, the level of interest and involvement in our PHOTOGRAPHY lives temporarily diminishes and we get involved in other things. That we feel comfortable with sharing that part of our non-curriculum activities is indicative of how comfortable we feel with our friends! We can either bow out and not post anything on the Pentax list, or keep our oar in the water and maintain a presence. Even if it's NOT about cameras, and Pentaxii in particular. Sound reasonable? I just got a brand new-to-me MX. Body only. I have a sufficient number of lenses for now. I'm not done collecting the various Spotmatic cameras, nor the K-mounts, only a few of which I have. There may even be some I won't find interesting enough to collect...I don't know! But for now, my evening will be comprised with cleaning up and detailing that new MX body, as best I can. Sometime this weekend, I plan on putting a roll of film thru it. FUN!! You can do any of several tests to see if a new/used camera is operating within reason, but the best way for me is to take 20 shots + with some of my favorite film.
