I agree with you. I always travel light, bringing the minimum amount
of equipment for the conditions I expect to encounter - usually just
one body and a maximum of two (rarely three) lenses. I'm more than
happy with my Pentax body - I don't need 8fps. All I really want is a
high-quality 400mm auto-focus prime. Is that asking too much?

Ah, yes. Well. In that case, I have to agree with you. Some of
those old Taks had a feel and a quality about them that's unmatchable.
Nothing like fondling a big strong lens to get that tingly feeling!
