I used to carry a Hassy 500CM + 2 backs + 2 lenses + tripod on my motorcycle.

Subash, I've bought some medium format equipment just for fun. The transparencies from some of your mountain rides would be spectacular, but the weight would be bad on the motor cycle. :-( Regards, Bob S.

Re: pentax sighting...sort of...
Nice story. I recall when the 6X7 was introduced (I think the 1960s). I picked it up and decided that it was much too large for me to handle. Years later, I settled on the 645 Pentax which I still use to photograph weddings.

My Bronica ETR kit would be worth about let me think ummm nothing these days. But not worth selling either. So there it is packed away, and there it stays. A medium format kit seemed like an investment in the future back around 1980, now it's a white elephant.

pentax sighting...sort of...
hi, no photos, just a small story... :-)) there's a camera repair guy near my workplace who does everything from small point and shoots to nikon d200s. since he has been at it for long, he also has a large customer base and his camera repair shop also serves as an unofficial sell-buy hub. i drop in once in a while to see if he's got anything interesting (over the last two years i've got a k50/1.2 and the k30/2.8 from him in very good condition at throwaway prices)...i had gone there yesterday and for the first time yesterday laid my eyes on a pentax 6x7 in good condition. looks like one of the earlier models (asahi pentax) with a takumar super-multi-coated 105/2.4 lens. he said i could have it for the equivalent of US$240. i wouldn't know what to do with it and don't even know whether i have the biceps to handle it. so just played around with it for a while just to get a sense of what it must feel like to be in the brotherhood. the k10d is itself more camera than i can handle :-) regards, subash -- cheers, subash -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
