LBA test! If you answer yes to 2 or more of these, you have LBA, 1. Have you ever searched eBay for the words "Super Takumar" and filtered it for those auctions that are only "Buy It Now"? (Try it now)
Yes. 2. Do you compulsively look into the used lens section at camera shops or KEH for anything that could remotely fit on a Pentax camera? Even though you already have the focal range of 15mm to 300mm covered with your present lenses? Yes. 3. If someone says they have a 50mm Pentax lens, do you question them further to find out exactly which version it is, and depending on the answer, do you get smug or jealous? Most definitely yes. 4. Have you purchased more than 3 of the Limited lenses? Not yet :( Why would I do it? I can't help it. i want to...!? 5. Have you ever put your lenses in a display case? No. lenses exist to be used, or admired in hand, 6. Have you ever hidden receipts because "no one else needs to know how much I paid for it"...? Can't hide a receipt when someone else accepts your package :) 7. Have you ever felt pride in getting a lens for under market value and set that as your new "threshold to break"? For example, you pick up an SMC-M 28mm lens for $15 bucks, and now you're on the look out for grabbing anything for under $15 that could qualify as "a better deal"...? Sure, but that's a ridiculous deal! 8. Have you ever drawn up a short list for which lenses to bring on a trip and then thrown in some extras "just in case"...? Yep. 9. Have you ever stalked a lens on the internet, by researching it tirelessly for days by looking for sample shots, qualified reviews, tests, etc., and this lens pre-dates the internet? Oh yeah! 10. Did you pre-order a DA* lens and get giddy just thinking about its arrival this summer? No. Zooms suck.
