Re: wishlist items
Nice stuff - toys for boys! But how technology has progressed. Eons ago I had a 6" reflector mounted on a heavy wooden tripod with a manual equatorial mount. One had to slowly rotate a knob on the end of a flex drive to keep the object of interest in view. Crude by comparison but it worked.

I figure that it's worth mentioning them here in case anybody is looking to sell one of them, or has some important advice about any of these. The one thing that I'm actively looking for is an equatorial mount. I'm planning on heading out to visit my sister and catch the total eclipse in April. At the 2018 eclipse I just used a tripod and had to keep adjusting it every few minutes to keep the sun in the frame. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Adventurer-Pro-Pack-S20512/dp/B07NY44782 I bought the Pro Pack. Used it with my Tokina 80-200 f/2.8 to photograph the annular eclipse in October, and that's the setup I plan to use in April.

I was afraid it wouldn't be sufficient for my 300/2.8. ... and NEVER gonna try to mount the 600/4 on it. There are a couple of lenses on my wishlist. I don't have an immediate need for them, but they're always on the back of my mind and I could be motivated by a particularly good deal. 85/1.4 I can find an FA* 85/1.4, with hood on ebay (from Japan) for $650, which is about half of what a dfa 85/1.4 would cost, even used. I love my 77/1.8 but when photographing musicians I always seem to want a bit more reach and a bit more speed. Sigma 18-35/1.8 Now that my K-3 III is my daily driver body, and my K-1 is my special purpose body, the 18-35 would be very handy for shooting indoors and save me from swapping between my 20/1.8 and 31/1.8. 24-70/2.8 I've got the tamron 28-75/2.8 and it's a great fair weather daily driver, but for foul weather I'm stuck with the 28-105 which is generally fast enough for outdoors which is where I usually need weather sealing. A modern "long" lens. My 50-500 bigma has given me many years of good service, but its focus is a bit slow and a bit noisy. There have been many times that I've tried to photograph a critter and as soon as I tried to autofocus the noise of the lens scared the beast away. Can't really help with any of the other. I too would like to have the 85/1.4. What do you think would be a *fair* price for a 50-500 "Bigma"? What does the list think would be a fair price? I have one that I don't think I'll ever use again now that I do have the 600/4. I also found out that the "HD Pentax-DA 1.4x AW AF Rear Converter" (which I DID get from KEH) noticeably vignettes on Full Frame. I think I can crop in and/or dodge the corners sufficiently that it won't matter that much ... otherwise I'll just have to take that into account & live with it. But I don't know why Ricoh Pentax didn't make it so it would work with their "flagship" camera? -- Vivere in aeternum aut mori conatur -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
