Wouldn't throw it away of course (sold the 67 gear but it would have made good boat anchors), but I did manage to liberate quite a chunk of Pentax gear before the prices started to fall significantly and before the US$ took its nose dive :-) Problem is that I bought a chunk of new gear with the proceeds, like a set of LTD lenses, some choice Voigtlander lenses in K mount and a new MZ-S on the premise of things to come digital. As we all know the only Pentax DLSR released thus far took too long to deliver and was significantly different from the initial camera that was presented to the public. A real disappointment unless you are into comparing camera sizes or a user new to the market with money to burn for lenses.
