Well, I am ready to be greeted with whatever 'secret handshake' you may have - that is if you will have me :-)
I am now the proud owner of a Pentax 67 with a Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR/6x7 1:2.8/90 Leaf Shutter lens, along with TTL Pentaprism, Pentaprism, and a Folding Focusing Hood. I had time to do some quick snaps today and will drop off the roll tomorrow to verify proper operation. I used the Pentaprism today.
I also picked up a Super-Multi-Coated FISH-EYE-TAKUMAR 1:4/17 lens. I used it today on my *ist D. It looks interesting with the few snaps I had time to take. It seems I need to go out and explore the possibilities with this lens and then go out and have fun with it and an LX.
Just had to tell someone,
Ya gotta bring those babies to GFM, Cesar!
Congrats on your new family members.
cheers,

Don't worry Frank,
All my medium format gear will be there and whatever 35mm gear will fit in my convertible's trunk :-) Of course the fisheye will have to be one to make the trip.
I commented on a previous post that some shots I took of my back yard with the fisheye looked a little soft. Well, I took some shots with the *ist D and the shots look great! The only thing I can think of was the weather condition - it was rainy so there may have been some mist or such on the lens. I will definitely look into exploring the fisheye some more. Maybe you can pass some words of wisdom along.
Always looking for pointers,
