**willdmo** · 06-29-2013, 05:40 AM

Count me in too. I will start this month with an older generation Pentax compact, i guess LS1100 or something like that and continue with my K-5 as soon as it is back and whatever nice lens I dare to use a whole month.
Im couriouse about todds use of Industar 50-2. Maybe I will use the same lens

Yep, as Rod said, I'll be there as well. June has been a rather difficult month, in many ways, but July... weill can only be better.
Now if it would just stop raining, had about 2 to 3 weeks of rain, showers, drizzle, etc. etc.
Good to see the great interest in July.

Choice DA 18-250

No snow.. too bad

I'll saddle up again. The only lenses I own which have not been through the SI wringer are the Q02, DA10-17, Sigma 70-200 and DA*300. The sigma would be an interesting comparator to June's DA*50-135, but I don't think I can be bothered doing two months in a row with big lenses.
I am tempted to put the DA21 through a full month, rather than the three way comparison I did earlier in the year. I sold the DA40 and DA70 after that exercise.

Suggestions??

**mattt** · 06-29-2013, 06:57 PM

I vote DA 21 - Its a gem, and more friendly for indoor shooting if you need to in the crappiest weather you'll see this year. Besides, its my favorite lens.

**todd** · 06-29-2013, 09:15 PM

I second the vote for the 21... ;-)

**jackassp** · 06-29-2013, 09:51 PM

I third the vote for the DA 21. Wonderful lens, the best lens I ever sold (OK, I know I'm an idiot).

**OzzRod** · 06-29-2013, 11:50 PM

Please desist you three! I cannot not be tempted into buying any more lenses, no matter how good the DA21.

Too bad Rod. With three votes for and a "please desist" from you I have committed to the DA21. I gather I was at least partly responsible for a recent purchase of a DA*50-135, so I will try to make my July shots equally influential

LOL. Yes you were, along with jack, Bruce and others. Oh dear ........

**jheu02** · 06-30-2013, 09:30 AM

I'll go ahead and give it a shot with the SuperTak 105/2.8 M42 I mentioned in the June thread. Don't know how frequent the uploads will be, but I'll try.

Magical FF DSLR will arrive and your 31 can become the 21...

Bramela · 06-30-2013, 12:45 PM

Hey Sandy, Rod might not be the only one tempted. I have been thinking about the 21 for a while. Your shots might just tip me over the edge.

LOL and spend xxx$ on the FF instead!

@ Bramela Maybe we could negotiate a better price for a group purchase
