Get a K 135 f2.5 or SMC Takumar, M42 version, either is a bargain at any price you're likely to pay. If you really want a bargain, get the K 135mm f3.5, (not the M though that's not bad), if you want a real bargain. On 10/6/2015 5:25 PM, Sandy Harris wrote: P.J. Alling wrote: There is no

In fairness the flash is an AF200T so it's on the small side, and I won't have any spare batteries for it. On the other hand, it's hard to make out, but there's a clip on tulip shade for the 24mm that's holding up the flash head in the picture. I probably wouldn't carry the remote, the flash,

There is no perfect bag, which is the problem. Sometimes you luck out however. I often go out shooting with three small lenses and a single camera body. (In case anyone is wondering, the lenses are the 43mm limited, M 85mm f2.0 and A 24mm f2.8). I've used a pretty small zippered case that co

Crumpler US got back to me. They don't offer the Daily series in the US. I might order one from the UK. I'm liking the design of the 490. If it will also fit a PowerBook 15", it would be useful to me. The price on Domke F803 bags has gone up quite a lot. I recall buying one at the local store

Sounds like your "sling style" Crumpler bag is almost identical to my Timbuk2 Commute XL. It works well, but I'd like a little more opening at the top and a little more dedicated compartmentalization for the camera gear. I'm almost to the point of designing and building my own... ON the oth
