Last week I purchased the cleanest black Pentax KM I've seen in a while.
However given the current UPS strike and an uncommunicative eBay seller
I'm starting to get the feeling that I may have to request a refund...

Sorry to hear that, Chris. Given that it's only a week, I'd be tempted to give it at least one more full week with some attempted seller contact along the way. I have had a handful of very uncommunicative eBay sellers over the years, but only one who didn't come up with the goods eventually...

YG is an under appreciated filter and the classic Pentax metal ones are a delight..

Just got a new gaming PC. Will obviously also work just fine for photo and video shenanigans. Got some sweet parts for cheap thanks to a relative that works in IT.

Here's the main bits:

Intel i7-6700K 4.00GHz Processor
GTX 1060 6GB Video Card
DDR4 16GB RAM
SSD 225GB
HDD 3TB

And a used and older (but still very decent) 24" monitor (HP ZR24w).

That's a *nice* setup. Lightroom (or similar) will run very smoothly indeed on that!

Mitakon Zhongyi Lens Turbo II, K mount to Sony E mount.
Poor man's "full frame" when coupled with my dormant Sony a5000.

Shots taken with the above configuration (SMCK 55/2)

I bought a light seal kit from Jon Goodman for my Spotmatic II.

One of the reasons I got it. It seems that the further west you go the fewer paved roads there are.

And we did have 14" of snow yesterday but all the roads were plowed by the time I picked it up.

Yeah, it's pretty backward west of the Appalachians, at least until you get to the Rockies where the roads are paved again.

Not a new truck by any means - but - LNIB LX Winder. No one has questioned LX Continuous Focus to my knowledge, so I should be good to go for Action now

UPS dropped off my 10' by 12' muslin's. The quality seems fine for what they cost.

**ChrisPlatt** · 11-23-2016, 07:16 PM

11 rolls of Ilford HP5+ and an unknown length of Kodak Plus-X in an Alden 74 bulk loader

Price was only $25 shipped from a trustworthy member at APUG.
