Hi,
After a recent trip I found myself with some money to spare, and I also lost my Takumar cap. I was looking to replace it, but the ones on ebay look pretty expensive (over $20 for one piece, WTF).
Now I was thinking I could buy 5-10 generic pinch caps (which I will also be using, but I want the Asahi Pentax cap for collection purposes).
I thought I could also find one original cap on top of a cheap Takumar, which I would resell later. So, what's the cheapest Takumar? 55/2, I presume? I found about two months ago a 55/1.8 for a little over $10, so I guess that is the kind of money I intend to spend. Asking just to check if there's an easier way to lift 10000 lbs.
My 28mm also needs a lens hood, and those rectangular ones sure look nice, but they seem to cost much more than I'm willing to pay.
Let's see what's also on the list... a lens spanner and a set of JIS screwdrivers, but I doubt I'll be able to afford them within $100. Maybe some ice cream. I also need to get another polarizer, my old one was bought used, but my local shop sells a new Hoya for about $10, so I'm not sure that second hand is worth it this time.
I drink cow's milk and I'm not ashamed.
