Originally posted by RioRico No, it means that if you suffer memory loss, they will all seem strange. That's OK, you can send them to me for safekeeping.
I'm thinking if my mind goes a spreadsheet won't help. But since they are in the sofa they must be honored guests, and I must bring them tea. Sending them away doesn't seem right at all.
Originally posted by wolfiegirl so this is just the 'essentials'? what's your normal stash like?
Let's see.. that looks like 2 dslrs (although the one on the far right looks funky... it's a got a square bit attached?!)
one film camera, some flashes, teleconverters, macro tubes, and lots of lovely lenses! *droool*
Well, I'm not brave enough to collect all my stuff in one place like this, so I don't quite know what my complete stash would look like. Bigger and dustier, I think. Even more expensive, no doubt.
Originally posted by wizofoz The 'one on the far right' looks like a Pentax 645 (nII?) film camera to me. The predecessor of the funky new 645d, the larger lenses and extention tubes nearby are also 645 format, (as opposed to 35mm or APSC format lenses.)
Yep some very drool worthy lenses including the FA's 31 and 77, the Da 12-24, and maybe a M or a 100 mm macro maybe? (not sure).
Absolutely essential, 'Don't leave home without it' kit.
A 645N, yes. Just as good as the NII, but cheaper. No DA12-24, but it does look quite like it I'll admit. No A100 macro either, but I have one at home (the slow version, alas). I think it's the M135/3.5 you're looking at.
I should probably identify my stuff now. From left to right (more or less):
K5D with DA*50-135/2.8, Metz 48AF-1, Samyang 8/3.5 fisheye, grip for the K5, Vivitar 135/2.8 close focusing (Komine, 1:2 macro), Tamron 28-75/2.8, DA16-45/4, FA20/2.8, 645 A120/4 macro, FA77/1.8, M40/2.8, M135/3.5, FA31/1.8, 645 A55/2.8, extension tubes for K and 645, 1.4x teleconverter for 645, 645 FA200/4, Pentax ME with A50/1.7, Pentax 645N with FA75/2.8 and finally CZJ Sonnar 300/4 for P6 with adapter for 645.
Not pictured: K20D, WR kit lens, Sunpak 3600 hammer flash, various chargers, filters, tripods, bags and other little things. And a Pentax AF280T flash that decided to turn up between then and now.
