Hi Malcolm, Malcolm wrote: 1. Am I being unrealistic, in hoping that Pentax might produce a digital body, that I can use my 35mm lenses with? Has any manufacturer done this?
Dave wrote: No, you're not being unrealistic, just that it won't be too soon. Other companies have done it: Nikon, Canon and now Sigma for their own lenses but Pentax and Minolta or Olympus haven't done it just yet. Malcolm wrote: 2. I need to replace my el-cheapo tripod. Bearing in mind I used it with a 500mm lens quite often and will use it in the future with a 67II I want quite a sturdy beast. I don't want to pay much more than �100, but I don't care if it is heavy! How my current flimsy effort lasted so long is a mystery! Dave wrote: Manfrotto 190 CL is what I'm currently using. Seems solid as a rock. Wished I had it when I was using the 645n because it would have been a god send. You can get all sorts of different heads for it as well. Cost: $180.00 CDN, a little less than 85 GBP Malcolm wrote: 3. I know of a charity auction coming up, where one of the boxes of bits contain camera bits and bobs. I can't view them - it is all unseen - a real lucky dip and I will bid on the basis that it is money to charity. Does anyone have any strong objections to me posting any non-Pentax items (?) here at cost + postage (assuming any of it is worth passing on) - I only use Pentax.
