Howdy.. My new first time DSLR, the K-R, is still in Knoxville and due to the lovely snow we had yesterday afternoon/evening it is delayed. (It took me an hour and a half to get home and needless to say I did not even attempt to go into work today.) It was supposed to be here this evening but now it may not arrive until tomorrow or worse not tell Monday. With the camera I also went ahead and got a remote and two 52mm filters for the 18-55mm kit lens as I already have two 58mm filters that will work with the 55-300mm kit lens. This coming week I am going to get an adapter so I can use AA batteries and a second li-on battery.
Down the road when our monies are not so tight and once I am comfortable with the K-R and DSLR photography I would not mind getting a couple of extra lenses. The following list is a few lenses I have come across that I find of interest and they are not listed in any order of importance. Perhaps someone on the list has a spare one of these lenses they could donate to a newbie or keep an eye out at local flea markets, yard sales and the like. Just keep in mind if by chance you do come across a lens listed I truly cannot afford an arm and a leg for a lens. Super-Takumar 55mm f=1:2/55 lens Pentax 50mm f/1.7 SMC-M Pentax KA f2.8 28mm lens SMC Pentax 100mm F4 Macro SMC PENTAX-FA 1:2.8 50mm MACRO SMC Pentax 30mm F2.8 SMC Pentax-A 50mm 1.7 Also at some point down the road going to look into an TTL flash but to be honest I am not certain which one to get that I can afford so it is rather low on the list of items. I also would like to ask "When is Spring and when will it finally get here?" I am so so tired of snow and to a degree the cold but more so the snow, ice and bad roads. Oh and some good books or perhaps good websites for us DSLR newbies. Thanks, Jeffery Johnson (If this is the third time you see this please ignore I am sorry as I did not see previous messages make it to the list.) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
