Get a K 135 f2.5 or SMC Takumar, M42 version, either is a bargain at any price you're likely to pay. If you really want a bargain, get the K 135mm f3.5, (not the M though that's not bad), if you want a real bargain. On 10/6/2015 5:25 PM, Sandy Harris wrote: P.J. Alling

In fairness the flash is an AF200T so it's on the small side, and I won't have any spare batteries for it. On the other hand, it's hard to make out, but there's a clip on tulip shade for the 24mm that's holding up the flash head in the picture. I probably wouldn't carry the remote, the

I've yet to find a perfect bag, it depends on the lenses, somewhat as well. The one I use for that was made by Landsend. It looks a bit like a square canvas fishing creel. It holds the camera with one lens mounted and two others. Or one other lens and a sizable flash, (AF280T). Unless I'm
