The camera is nice. Get a good focusing loupe. You'll really come to appreciate it. And a really good focusing cloth. And a changing tent. A bag is ok, but a tent is wonderful.
And a good lens. The 135/235 is fine for b&w but that's it's limit. (I had one.) A modern NIkkor or Rodenstock makes a fine lens and these days the prices are quite modest. If you can dig up a Rodenstock Ysarex *135mm*, that's a keeper. It's among the last of the series and performs beautifully. If you happen to be rich, a Super Symmar ... Or camera bling ... http://static.photo.net/attachments/bboard/00F/00FHx2-28225684.jpg A few shots with a plasmat or a Tessar and you will soon see the image formation difference over and above the Gaussian design. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
