I gave my Panasonic GX85 2 lens kit plus a Meike 25m f/1.8 to my son who has some upcoming travel. I was using it for video and it is ok at that but I decided I'd rather try something different. It's a nice little camera and he seems to like it so far.

A soon to be happy Pentax Forum member bought the Sigma 120-400 I had for sale. I shipped it today. Also sold some parts on eBay.

A pint of blood - donation #119, I think.

Picked up a nice 50mm 1.8 Canon FDn lens on the way to the donation centre (with a mile or so diversion), which was a nice extra.

Phoenix(Tokina MFG) 19-35/3.5-4.5 PKA, Rikenon 105/2.8 1:1 Macro, both excellent lenses, but I have more convenient glass which is even better. Unfortunately, both sold on eBay instead of on PF Marketplace. Both sold for more than I was asking here, but after fees I’ll end up with the same money.

Well today I'm returning a Dell USB-C AC adapter that I bought a little over 2 weeks ago to replace a broken standard AC adapter that came with my laptop. Unfortunately the adapter stopped charging my laptop and is probably not compatible. So now I need to return it and buy a new, standard adapter... Happy days...

ChristianRock · 01-08-2020, 03:19 PM

Sold my Vivitar (Cosina) 24 2.8 and the Pentax LX in the last few days. To the LX buyer I'm also sending some more things that are either broken (ZX-M, SMC-A 70-210 f4) or mostly working but probably just for parts (SMC-K 24 2.8) for free.

I have some more nice affordable film-era full frame lenses in the marketplace in case anyone's interested

I am about to sell my Sigma 105 macro with dedicated ring flash, first not kit lens I bought in K mount. Now that I have 35 ltd and 200mm macro I barely use this sigma set.

Tokina 150-500mm manual zoom, on its way to a new home...

Congratulations! That reminds me, I need to get back into the habit of donating. I think I reached #13 last but a couple of unforeseen hospital visits have meant my donations have been sporadic at best! Last two I went to were advertised as walk in and appointments but I was turned away because I'd not made an appointment!

De-acquisitioned one of my two remaining K-S2's. At one point I had three. I'll make my son a gift of the the only one left, along with the 55-300PLM.

Next up will be culling most of my very good ND glass and using only the square/rectangular NiSi's and holder and one rectangular Breakthough for the same holder. The round Breakthrough's are particularly good (think I have four of those), and at least one each of the Hoya ProND's and a B+W XS-Pro along with several brass step-rings.

Gave away my Irix 15mm Blackstone; too much vignetting for my liking. The friend that is receiving it already has my old K-5.

I got some lovely images with it, Mike, still some of my favourites, but you reach that point where you think 'what if I see a really great shot? - will 10Mp be enough for magazines, competitions etc?' - so it stopped being the camera I had with me - and we all know that that's the best one

What is wrong with 10 Mp?
It will be quite enough to print for magazines.
