And the > Nikon F3, my favorite, was no slouch either... ;-) My bout of middle aged crazy was trying to piece together what would have been my "dream kit" from when I was in my late teens. Thanks to eBay, I was able to replace my Nikon F2s and 50mm/1.4 fairly easily. The F2 even came with a 35mm/3.5. I then set about looking, and found an 85/1.8. I then set about looking for a 105/2.5 and found a nice one. I would have liked a 35/2, but so it goes. My Nikon kit is complete, with all lenses being contemporaneous with the camera. I even have some Kodachrome from that era in the deep freeze..... William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
