Hi Uncle Vanya

What you sell lenses ?
Strange phenomonem

Dave

I actually have sold 15 or more if I recall. But I sold less than I bought. And most of the sales were less expensive lenses.

[redrockcoulee]

if you want to truly want to correct your erring ways -

try one of the Pentax 100mm macros instead of that puny 90mm

you could go for the " newest and brightest " SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro WR or if you want something a little less expensive you might get lucky and find
an " experienced " SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro or FA 100mm F2.8 or F 100mm F2.8 macro


"The optical design is the tried-and-proven formula of the previous generation D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro lens, which in turn had inherited the optical design from the well-respected FA 100mm F2.8 and F 100mm F2.8 macro lenses introduced in 1991 and 1987, respectively. None of these earlier lenses had rounded aperture blades... . "

true none of the 100mm are " limiteds "but they are Pentax

all kidding aside, you seem to have a nice set up

For the few times I use it I am willing to be led astray.

I also have a wonderful trio of lens, a 60mm Distagon, 100 Planar and 150 Sonar for my Hasselblad.

[Mikesul]

I have planned several times to finance other projects by selling some of the limiteds and I just couldn't do it. Weak of will.

[SSGGeezer]

I mailed off a lens I sold yesterday, but it was certainly not a Limited or * lens. It was one I liked a great deal but rarely used of late. I did once sell a * lens. I still regret it even though it's current owner does great things with it. I want one of the new 100mm D-FA Macros but no budget for it, especially if I plan on getting the new 11-18 * Iens early (I hope,) next year.

What Uncle Vanya said^^^^^, It is too easy to pick up a nice lens here but harder to part with one even if not often used.

thanks

I'll bring out those facts when someone ( sisters in law ) comment on my small collection of lenses

My wife said that she doesn't want to inherit my "museum hit by a tornado"
I have no idea of the number of lenses I own. What I know for sure is that I still love (and use!) some Pentax lenses I bought at the end of the seventies, and that I would never let them go.

The M85/2 was especially difficult.

That's not fast, it's positively sedentary... a few of my "Ladies" can show your 85 a good turn of heels when it comes to speed.

Joking aside, it just takes a bit of practice and confidence.

[aslyfox]

I was warned that when I bought my first limited it wouldn't be my last

well

just received my new to me " experienced " SMC Pentax-DA 40mm F2.8 Limited purchased from a forum member via the market place

lens, hood, screw in cap, end cap and bag

looks like new

I also got a cap for the 21mm Limited from another forum member via the market place

it does fit the 40mm Limited if I remove the screw in cap

this means I can protect the 40mm limited lens as I carry it without having to use the screw in cap

[pepperberry farm]

for me, when I use the 40 Ltd, I remove the hood and cap altogether and replace them with a generic screw-in hood and pinch cap...

I keep the hood and use a fujifilm film can lid on mine.

Same here

I keep the hood and use a fujifilm film can lid on mine.

I was doing that, now I use a generic 40.5mm pinch cap. I was concerned that constantly pushing the film cap in and out might wear the paint over time.

I try 70/2.4. For some specific situation too dark. Comfort of street photography is amazing. I only test it few hours, but good feeling I get for years. I only have 77 limited. I think about another limited with wide angle, but with F above 2 to dark rooms. Now I can't decided what choose from limited. I'm looking for limited quality and compact size.

[aslyfox]

the most " modern " " limited " lens won't work for you

Pentax-DA 15mm F4 Limited
Pentax-DA 21mm F3.2 Limited
Pentax-DA 35mm F2.8 Macro Limited
Pentax-DA 40mm F2.8 Limited
Pentax-DA 70mm F3.2 Limited
HD Pentax-DA 20-40mm F2.8-4 Limited DC WR

and the older larger limiteds may not work:

[pxt]

I must check 31 limited. It will look like nice for my K3 II. I have 77/1.8 limited. I'm looking for more less than 35mm.

Why 31 limited will not make work in your opinion? Is AF speed problem like in 77?

[azath]

The 77 is absolutely gorgeous. Rendering is what is said to be, quite special. I've never used other FA's ltd to compare.

DA 15 ltd has a great rendering, but there's a real limitation when it comes to corners/border sharpness which is quite poor.
