Re: What toys you have in 2002?
Oh dear...I started reading this thread, and after counting up my acquisitions for this past year, I'm almost too embarrassed to list them all! I like the older Pentaxes, and for years now have been using my trusty MG, with a SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2.0. It all started with getting a backup MG body, so I'd have a source of parts, just in case. It was in such good shape, I decided to get a new lens for it, so I picked up a nearly new Pentax-A 50mm f/2. Fine combination... Then I rejoined PDML. Oh boy...another misstep! My next body was an almost perfect Spotmatic F! What fun that was! So I joined the Spotty group online and started educating myself about the M-42 lenses and bodies... One thing led to another, and I now count 9 Takumar and 7 K-mount lenses of various apertures! Sighhh. Would that that were all...I also have, by actual count, 7 new-to-me Pentax bodies, the newest of which is my precious MX! The one thing I got for Christmas I really love is The Ultimate Asahi Pentax Screw Mount Guide. grin Easy to keep me pleased! Before all this Pentax-gear-buying flurry, I had been a sometime collector of various examples of nice but somewhat less common cameras. Now I've turned into a dangerous Pentax amasser!

I'm limited with lighting as I use daylight coming in from a window. Any other ideas. I'll post a pic tommorrow to illustrate, maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Don't ever use vaseline. It's too easy to transfer it to the equipment. Stretch a peice of black nylon (stocking material is good, and usually free). If it's not soft enough loosen it. If its a bit too soft, burn a hole in it with a cigarette. If you are shooting colour, then use a taupe coloured material. Warms things up quite nicely. William Robb

Re: Re: What toys you have in 2002?
A nice little black MX body. Honestly, as far as I can recall, that's it for new camera toys. Bought a whole lotta film though ... Happy New Year, one and all. And Thank You again Adelheid for great work putting up the PUG. hmm, any other threads I should answer ... didn't major in philosophy, so not that one ... my favourite 50mm is the M1.4 ... haven't been reading the composition thread ... OK, that's my wrap-up for now.
RE: Re: What toys you have in 2002?
Oh, I forgot that I also acquired two new-to-me LX screens. One is now in the MX and the better one (thanks, Rob!) in the LX.

For the LX, I picked up a few viewfinders, new hand grips and screens (golden section ones at that). At some point, I snagged an Auto Bellows K as well. There was some other small stuff, but that hits the high points. William Robb

I daren't even think about listing my acquisitions. Too scary. Well, right before Christmas I kept getting outbid on a Pentax F 70-210 on ebay. So in frustration, I bid on and got a Tokina AF 70-210 (with Macro setting). Now I have a K-1000, a MZ-5n, a Pentax 50 f/2.0, a Pentax FA 28-70 and a Tokina AF 70-210 (plus the Albinar and Vivitar zooms which I will dump back on ebay). I hope that covers me for awhile -- because I can't forsee spending any more on camera equipment soon (not until the current credit card bills are paid). And I hope the Tokina AF 70-210 is a decent lens. Doe aka Marnie I wish someone had warned me that reading this list can really pull one into buying more stuff. Hehehehe.

I used to be happy with my LX, 2 K-1000s a half dozen lenses, my 6x7 and a few lenses, and the 4x5 and a few lenses. Then, I decided to buy a computer, so as to learn a bit about digital photography, since that is where my industry is headed. One day, while surfing the web, I came across the Pentax USA website. Spotted a link saying Click here to join the Pentax Discuss Mailing list. Joined this mailing list. That was 4 years ago. Since then, I have nearly retired from active photography. Not withstanding that fact, I now own 3 LXs, a couple of ME-Supers, a Program Plus and a few other bodies. I have bought a couple of dozen more lenses for the 35mm, 3 more lenses for the 6x7, and a nice wide angle lens for the 4x5. A 6x7 bellows (SHEESH!!), and a couple of bellows for the 35mm system, a microscope adaptor which I will likely never use because I just don't find that stuff all that interesting, and a bunch of LX viewfinders, one of which I will likely never use. Two fisheye lenses (one is never enough) and 5 teleconverters, including two Pentax 2x-S. 2 of my camera bodies have never had a roll of film put into them by me, my 300mm f/4 for the 6x7 has not had a shot taken with it yet, and at least 3 of my 35mm camera lens purchases have not been mounted on a camera since being purchased, and one has not been on a camera at all, I just picked it up off a shelf, gave it a cursory inspection and bought it. This list is a very bad place. William Robb

William Robb wrote: my 300mm f/4 for the 6x7 has not had a shot taken with it yet, Bill, Bill, You've gotta go out and shoot some stuff with that 300/4. Remember it's like a 150 35mm lens. It's great for shooting people without them knowing that you're shooting them. It's a lot of fun. USE IT! Paul Stenquist

Re: What toys you have in 2002?
That's because Pentax gear is like Chinese food; you're hungry again a half hour after you've eaten. Since I've switch to a stick to the ribs brand, all I bought last year was a used 50mm lens, a flash bracket and a off camera flash cord.
