no - I can honestly state that I am not interested in film...

this SLR is non-functional; it came with a couple of lenses that I did want, but the camera is in really nice shape, so I kept it...

but the thought of a K-mount DSLR this size makes me itch...

Just a word on my Sigma 20mm:

I had sent it back to Adorama for repair (due to a horrible overexposure issue); they found that the lens had a sticky aperture and repaired it...

when it arrived, I noticed damage to the lens that was not there prior to me shipping it...

I've already notified Adorama about the damage....

That sucks. Hope they make it right.

Looks delicious!

I’ve gained 100 lbs since finding this thread. And only 75 of those pounds are lenses

believe it or not, I'm not one of those clamoring for a FF anything - I am happy with my APS-C camera bodies...
