Hi all,
Today, I went down to the local Pentax service centre to
get my Z-50p repaired. (Its LCD and LED are defected...)
The total cost will be around JPY17,000 (some USD150) and
it will be ready 27th.
I felt curious about the cost and asked the clerk how much
it will be for CLA of an LX. Sh

I'd probably prefer black, but, from a cosmetic standpoint, if the
black lens and black body don't match up well, it could look pretty
bad. IAC, I'm not that concerned about appearance except WRT how

including my March PUG submission.

I got my 50mm f4 macro for CAN$40.00. That is about the same
price as the 50m

SF1 or SF1n comes with a 2CR5 battery pack. It is the grip of the camera
itself, where you see the big letters SF1.

have an endless supply.

Love the silver and black. Hate all-black (and
all-blacks, but don't tell em I said so). It is so
morbid and boring.

A Minolta was recommended to me. I think because it
was cheaper. I think I look too young to have money.
People generally think I am about 8-10 years younger.
But I had seen the Pentax MZ-30 brochure and nothing

Minolta too. Probably thought I was s
