Camera is supposed to be here any minute now. It's just a p&s but it is Pentax
and it will be so much easier when I go out with Sami than taking the big one.
I'm excited about it!

Oh and I didn't give reasons - the 1.4 is way overdue and sensible
beyond question and the 8-24 is what Pentax owes me for making me wait
in vain for the DA* 11-16/2.8 rotting away in their drawer...

Not a lens as such, but the 67->K tilt/shift adapter would be a nice thing,
even with 45mm as the shortest focal length (tilt/shift/fish-eye 35mm would
probably be too much). It might even be possible with 645->K or 67->645.
Basically this: http://www.rugift.com/photocameras/mc-35mm-tilt-shift

How about a new lens, Ecke, not an unlikely and cost-prohibitive adaptor
for old glass.
