hey, given the recent substantial rise in prices of vintage pentax prime lenses, its not even really that costly a hobby in the long run it seems.
While I do have complete set of SMCT and am going for all the "K"s, neither of these series have much zooms, so I just go for all. But your right, the M and A series have a lot of zooms, much more than SMCT and K, I wouldnt ever want to pursue or collect. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim King Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 11:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Pentax K 28mm f2.0 Lens J.

I've been collecting the A primes for a couple of years now, with a bit of help from several folks who post here; the only ones I'm still missing are the A*600/4 and the A*1200/8. Given their rarity and the current inflation of Pentax lens prices it's unlikely I'll ever have them... I also have fairly good collections of the SMCT primes, the FA primes, and the K primes, as well as a smattering of the M primes. Lens collecting is certainly addictive, but it beats spending too much time in bars!
