I'm very good about that... I used to walk around with a camelbak on
but in NY they don't know what it is and I got strange looks ...
It is 82 in the livingroom and kitchen ... a bit cooler in my office and
bedroom.
Maybe you should mail me the 30 for safe keeping. ;-)
Um , not! ... actually, It's been claimed already.
I'm going to let someone at Photo_Tech look at it closely with a bright
light (the guys there do that favor for me occasionally to confirm there
ain't no fungi or scratches.. ) on Monday before I ship it to
the new owner.
Boy the lens is fast!
Tomorrow 101 in the shade.. I'm not going out at all praying there is no
power outage.

I already have a first dibs on this from a list member to whom I offered
mine for less than that . friends price.
I haven't even had a chance to do the photos of the equipment yet
but that's partly because it is just too hot here even with my ac's full
blast. I melt at a lower temperature than most

50mm prime SMC Pentax FA 1.4 BLACK - this works on manual on the
istD and kinda worked on auto focus but not properly ... apparently
it works on later issues -- or some (a brief check on ebay) With
operating manual from 1991.
Let me know what you want for it...
Let me do some more digging :-) I guess you know this lens ..
It's the same as all the Pentax 50mm f1.4 lenses but in FA livery,
(Ok, so they were supposedly tweeked, and they have the best coatings
Pentax put in the focal length). I've been looking for nice short
portrait tele for the K20d that takes full advantage of the
automation. The f1.4's aren't perfect but they're more than good
enough. I find that I don't end up using the M50 f1.4 on the K20d, I
used to use it a lot on the D and Ds.
It's still a "current" lens, too:
http://www.adorama.com/PX5014AFA.html
That price is about 2.5 times as high as when I bought mine new, when
was it, 3 or 4 years ago? Around that time used specimens would
typically fetch a lot more than the new price on eBay because "everyone"
thought it was discontinued, and hard to find...
