Thibouille,
You've got a pretty nice, practical system.
Since film stuff is getting cheaper you could eliminate the P30t and add
another Super Program/MD for not much.
I'll take the KX. :)
The Starblitz flash digital i/f may make it not work with the Super Program.
Best pick up a 200T or 280T. The 200T is a great value because it's TTL &
generally pretty cheap. Often around $20.
The Tamron 70-210 is a good zoom. One of my brothers shot one for years on his
Contax/Yashica bodies and got great results.
Move the 55/1.4 over to the KX & marry them. Then get two A50/1.4 & marry them
to the SP and P bodies. Sell the 55/1.8. Don't bother with the FA50/1.4
unless you really, really like the color correction. It is very, very good but
the A is so good that you may likely not find the difference appreciable.
Keep your eyes pealed for the A35/2.
If you don't use a lens at all, sell it. Spend less money on hardware and more
on film. Make pics, not collections.
Sincerely,
C. Brendemuehl
