Thank you so much, Frank, for your warm words. Perhaps you are right, I need to be a little more lighthearted. I think my P30t with 50/1.4 (or 28/2.8 ?) could take place in my bag ...
BTW I have never had a pancake for my MX (before it went to my cousin) and I think it is quite overprized on ebay, so am waiting for a good occasion to assemble it - just for fun. Talking about 40mm-lenses: I noticed that Voigtlaender brings out a 40mm/2.0 Heliar, for PK, too. Look at http://www.voigtlaender.de/voigtlaender.nsf/pages/frameset?Open I am looking forward to the first reviews.

And, I want something cheap and dirty to throw in a bag or pocket for those times when I don't want to hang a camera around my neck; hence my choice of a little Minolta HiMatic F rangefinder. But your observation of the lack of Pentax product mentioned in this thread is well taken. I for one would have expected to see the Pentax 110 mentioned more than once - which it wasn't. Funny you should mention that your daily commute is boring and that there's nothing of interest to photograph. I find that having a camera with me makes me look at the world in a different way. I'm sure there are plenty of things for you to take pictures of each day. Of course, you'd run the risk of being "that strange man who stands at the end of the train station platform with the camera", to all the other commuters! <vbg> I bet taking a camera with you would make your commute a bit more interesting. Sounds like you need it! regards, frank - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
