    You sure have lots of gear. Though I don't have a list of the smaller items such as filters, etc… It would be interesting to read any kind of reasoning as to why you decided to acquire any of the larger items such as lenses or flash.

    The flash was a very old one my Dad had in the cupboard, its nothing too fancy, and was free :)

    The lenses though, I just enjoy playing with different lenses, trying to find the ones I like. So far the SMC A 50mm f1.7, Helios 44-2, Tair-11a and SMC M 28mm f2.8 are my favourites. I am trying to get rid of some of the others I dont use.

    Many of the filters have just been acquired with lens purchases.

    Wow, you’ve really pared down on your lenses!! I see on the Pentax Forums that you’re looking for a 35-70 zoom. How about a much more useful SMC FA 28-70 f4 ($100 including shipping from B.C.)?

      Thanks for the idea. $100 is a bit more than I am looking to pay. I used to have the F 35-70 and loved its sizing.
