Well, I've put both of my FA Limiteds (77 and 43) on the auction block. I figure I can make some money on at least the 77 (especially since it's black... those seem to be popular), and probably make a bit on the 43. I'm finally deciding that I'm not shooting film often enough (I've got a roll in each of my film bodies that's been there for months), and the likelihood of that increasing is quite slim. I don't think I've ever actually used my FA77 on my film bodies!! :)
So I was checking Canadian online shops for price of DA primes (70, mostly), and I see on the Camera Canada website that Pentax Canada only has 1 FA77 left in stock. I haven't heard any word about the lens going out of production, but I know that Dave Brooks has been waiting (impatiently?) for his to arrive for months now... http://www.cameracanada.com/eNet-cart/product.asp?pid=27970 Immediately, i feel reservations about selling my FA77 - but as I've been watching GDG's musings about equipment, I'm aware that it's only equipment. I just wonder if it's not wiser to hold onto the lens and sell it later! :) -- Cheers, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MichaelHamilton.ca -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
