OKAY. Spanish policemen, friends of 'Serkevan' shot in the direction of 'pentaxian house' in Sweden and 'MikeyBugs95' saw all this in New York. OKAY. This is the real globalization of the Pentax idea

A few years ago, I did consider buying a TAIR-3S 300mm F4.5 - Fotosniper. But I decided against it. Carry that around might have resulted in more than a look or two from the police.

I just bought my beloved Pentax KP, but I haven't sold the Pentax K-50 yet. The look of my beloved wife was worse than the look of 100 policemen

My issue is more practical - the selling price of a K-30 isn't much, and for years I have kept my old camera as backup of my new camera - so I kept old K-30 when I purchased KP.

Does your beloved personal "policeman" (your wife) know this?

OK, OK, just kidding. My wife is an angel

This practice started before our marriage forty years ago and has continued ever since; when she allocates space in our walkin closet, she includes space for my camera gear. She is glad on those occasional times when a camera acts up that I have something to fall back on.

Lucky for you she allocates space for your gears in the closet. Mine are filled with my clothes and my dry box ends up under the bed.

It is being used to monitor some equipment on the ISS. Will the ISS be out there forever?

I hope that, if it does come back, it does it on a soft manner

So they "launched" a new camera this fall unless they bought it used.

LEO {Low Earth Orbit} objects tend not to last that long. The ISS is so large I'm sure the appropriate scientists have already planned how to destroy it over the Pacific when "its time has come".
