Re: What I miss?
Thanks, Stan. I saw the roadmap via a facebook pentax group :-) I tried to keep at last one foot dipped in the (pentax) pool.

Sold the 85mm f1.4 for this?
A big part of the reason I've been away is restoring this thing. Paid for with funds from selling my Pentax-A* 85mm 1.4. http://www.primelensphotography.com/1967_Sprite/large-1.html Good trade? -Brendan "Photography's greatest handicap is the ease with which the medium as such can be learned.

Re: What I miss?
Hello again, Bob, PJ, and Marnie. Walt, I think I remember you. Unless that was another Walt . . .(?) Nice to know some things don't change (much). My hiatus was filled with all kinds of things, even some photography now and then. I've picked up other obsessions in the meantime...I'll do a separate post on that note :-) Good to know Cotters hasn't lunched on his chapeau. Does he still use that old eos-1d? -Brendan "Photography's greatest handicap is the ease with which the medium as such can be learned.

So, I've been off list for quite a while now ...two years? Who can catch me up in two sentences or less? ;-) -Brendan "Photography's greatest handicap is the ease with which the medium as such can be learned.
