Hi Tanya,

But here in Estonia the cheapest DVD burners go for 1300EEK (137AUD). Sure, those are
DVD+R(W) writers. Quite good DVD+-R(W) is about 2000 EEK (210AUD). Check for NEC
ND-2500, for example.
But with used Pentax lenses the life is not so fun in
There have been manual focus two-touch zooms made.
The Pentax A 35-70 f4, etc. What I really want is

It's a little lighter than my SMC Pentax-FA 1:4 28-70mm AL.
The feel is about the same, when I use them on manual focus on my

Or, you might check out Vivitar's 28-70mm 1:3.5-4.8 MC Macro-focusing zoom.
