The introductions of the *ist and *ist-D seem to be bringing in an unusually large number of new names to PDML. Welcome aboard, Taz. You wrote: "I have Minolta and Pentax gear..." Which generation of Minolta do you own: manual focus, or autofocus? It manual focus, I would pick up all that great classic glass by Vivitar Series One, Soligor C/D, and Tokina AT-X, all available dirt-cheap in Minolta manual-focus mount. " I seem to just like to collect it with no really good reason to justify it...lol. And the idea of selling any of it bugs me too much. I'll probably just have to put it all in my will." Consider giving or lending it for a year or two to your local school's camera club, or to an aspiring young photographer or a relative who has the potential to become one. When I was ready to part with my Zenitar 20/2.5PK lens, I recognized how little it would net on the used market. So I gave it to the local art teacher's teen daughter, who was using her father's MX. She was delighted. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
