Nothing. Honestly.
I think the lens acquisition programme is complete.

For now....

A* 135mm 1.8

I've fallen in love with this focal length lately on both my MX and my K5 after spending the weekend shooting with either my Takamur or my M 135's.

O actually like the tak better

Won't be cheap. I am looking for years within reasonable prices.

I'll have me some of that too. I adore my 135/2.5; 'more bokeh' would be even better.

FA* 600/f4 - This would complete my prime line up.

Raybo · 06-01-2012, 07:45 PM

DA 40 is pretty much all I need right now..........

I just got my Vivitar 70-150mm plus multiplier this afternoon, for a song, in a lot of lenses with two cameras no less. Definitely a casr of patience is a virtue. I've looked at this lens at least 2 dozen times in the past year or so, but only once was it in a Pentax mount and in that case the shipping just made it too pricey for me. I have to take a bit of plastic out but this should do me nice and having that coupler is lovely. They're supposed to be just great together.

Sandy Hancock · 06-11-2012, 05:08 PM

I'm beginning to covet the Sigma EX DG 85/1.4 HSM.
Must. Not. Crumble.

RioRico · 06-11-2012, 05:46 PM

I still covet the XR Rikenon 28/3.5 Aspheric, which weighs a mere 60g. I should bump my WANTED post again for that. Anything else worth coveting? (Certainly not my neighbor's ass.) A Zuiko or Nikkor 60mm macro if the price is right. Otherwise, I'm too satisfied. Until I'm infected by a NEED for all the Limiteds. Then I'll be doomed.

**dadipentak** · 06-11-2012, 05:59 PM

I ain't sayin'--don't want to drive the price up. I'll just say it's a lens that some others have mentioned.

trublubiker · 06-12-2012, 02:29 AM

SMC Pentax-FA* 200mm F4 Macro ED [IF]

That would cure my macro lust.

And I'm very interested to see how the new 560mm f5.6 stacks up.

This or the 250-600 should be at the top of the list ... but aren't just because they are so unwieldy, which leaves the Sigma 500/4.5 as easily the best option ... saving hard now.

**NaClH2O** · 06-12-2012, 04:21 AM

Just one lens I covet now, FA* 200mm macro.

NaCl(one just got sold on eek bay for over $2500. Not a lens I'll ever own unless the lotto gods smile on me)H2O
