LBA Cured ! SMC-K 24mm 3.5...Scored Last Lens !

Dlanor Sekao · 03-30-2015, 06:33 AM

Please don't laugh too hard.
After purchasing about 20 manual lenses over the last 18 months....I just scored my very last lens on my want/wish list.
Its a SMC-K 24mm 3.5 and is Mint ! I also got the SMC-A 35mm last week I was after too for so long and couldn't find.
LBA......CURED ! Whewwww.....what a relief.

Ummm....I had that one and sold it for a Samyang 14mm last year. It was nice , but the Sammy had it all over the 15 A.

For the record, LBA is never cured, it's just appeased.

I remember saying almost the exact same things once, but now I realize, "the more I fight, the worse it gets."
I just bought my LAST two lenses, now I want four.

Then join the monthly group Single In and shot a month with it and share your shots.

Well congratulations! I hope you enjoy them.
As for me, the lenses I want I'm not buying, I only buy what I use. One actually doesn't exist anyway. That would be a wide-angle DA* prime. I might buy two more FF primes when I get a FF. My APS-C line up is as complete as yours.

I entered Pentax DSLR world with a K-x/two DAL kit lens combo and was initially happy with them. Eventually bought the “Disneyland” lens DA 18-250 for that specific purpose. Down the road the thought of getting a prime at FL I shoot the most would be nice. After experimenting with a few dozen cheap ebay manual lenses I settled on the DA35 f2.4. While on another family trip, I found myself needing (wanting) a longer, faster AF prime – enter the DA50/f1.8. When the K5 upgrade came, I sold the 18-250 for an 18-135 to have a WR setup. Somewhere along the line a second body (K-01) joined in. Two primes and an all-around WR, LBA cured, I was done – wrong! Four DA* later I’m now “eyeing” FA and DA limited primes…. AFAIK, I believe giving up photography is the only (cure) for LBA...

May I ask what's your total number of lenses at the moment? Just to know how many lenses one must have to cure LBA...
