I would go tropical too, but in French Polynesia. I would photograph
atolls and locals. The body would be an LX, the lenses would be a
SMC K 50 1.4 and a Vivitar 90 2.5 macro. I don`t have a true macro
Pentax, so I have to cheat. But I might substitute the SMC K 50 1.4
with a Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50 1.4 and adapter, because of
it`s superb wide-open characteristics. Do I have to make the decision
right now<g>?
