Kiron 28mm f/2

How's this one treating you thus far?

I’m ashamed to say I’m yet to sport it on any of my cameras!
I’ll be certain to let you know as soon as I do though!

Just pulled the trigger on a 135/2.5 K series.

I do enjoy 135 on crop. And I have more than enough samples of glass in that FL. But, I kept reading and seeing beauties from the K 135/2.5... Hope I made a good choice.

Likely will try to sell my M 135/3.5 once the K arrives and checks out. Breaks my heart but made the purchase with the thought that the K will be the only 135 I'll need in Kmount moving forwards.

I held out for many many months, but I think the LBA has caught up with me. Just over a week ago, it was the Irix 11mm. Today, from two different sources, a new Sigma 10-20/3.5 and a new Sigma 17-70/2.8-4 magically appeared on my doorstep. Hope they don't find a cure any time soon.

I just found an Amazon Warehouse offer for a used/like new 100mm f/2.8 WR D FA Macro. The listing said that the packaging was damaged, but it was otherwise like new. For $177(!). That seems almost too good to be true, but we'll see. Should be here Tuesday. The cheapest I've ever seen a good used copy was here on the marketplace for $230 or $240, and they regularly go for over $300.

If it is similar to the DA*150-450 I got there you will be extremely happy. That is an amazing deal on the D-FA 100!

I bought one on the marketplace here for $230 and thought I'd got a great deal last week ! Good bargain spotting !

So it came today. The outer Amazon packaging was pretty beat up, but the Pentax box looked fine, and the lens appears quite minty. I don't know a darned thing about real macro photography yet, but it looks pretty good to me.

Nice! Is that a rasp in the middle?

A new display for my laptop. I broke the old one a few days ago. Easier to replace that I realized.

Due to prolonged forum outage I just had the win two auctions. Three lenses coming my way. One I have already I'll probably try to sell. Will show them when they arrive.

Cokin 58mm (I think) adapter and a couple of filters. Not sure what the clear one is about just yet so I'll do some digging. The 'blue' one could perhaps be an ND? Not sure, outside my knowledge-set!
Weston Master V light meter. Interested to try this out, probably won't keep but you never know!

The Cokin filters mostly look like NDs but maybe the blue-ish one is to correct tungsten lighting for daylight film.
I haven't seen another Weston meter for a long time, they were the bee's knees once and my father had one, but after he died mother gave it away to a friend (one who probably did not understand what it was for) Then I got another among a lot similar to yours, but one day it suddenly stopped working, not that I dropped it or anything.

3 different auctions 'won' (LBA talking):

1. 2SFXn with 2 zooms and some stuff (about $24 shipping included)
2. A charger for my K-10, an m42 Tamron adaptall with some other stuff (about $48 shipping included)
3. Two DA zooms (about $90 shipping included)

Quite expensive but should arrive start of next week.

Thanks, I'll take a look. But I think I'm convinced I want a 4k monitor.

Saw that too. I don't find 3440x1440 lacking, but I understand wanting the 4K, and at this point of time, makes complete sense as you future proof and think of the long term.

Manfrotto AutoPole for the second studio. Amazon Warehouse less than half the cost of new. Got it in today and see no issues with it at all other than the press handle not working as smoothly as some of my Kupoles. Otherwise it's solid. I hope to limit light stands to just two poles and keep the space as clear as possible.

I love using these.
