Yeah, My LBA led me to buy 4 lenses within 2 months. Sounds a bit scary for myself. 2 limiteds, one DA prime, and sigma 70-200

Pentax lenses are addictive

I have always said, THE ONLY CURE FOR LBA IS TO BUY MORE LENSES. although I have not had the time to practice much in the last mounth I do plan on feeding the habbit after the new year. Since Cutler Camera is no longer in business and they have returned my deposit on the K10D preorder, and since the camera is just about on the market. I will be awaiting the first shop in the area to stock it and will be getting the camera and the DA 10-17mm and something in the 100-300mm focal length. and of course wait for the repair cost from Pentax on the rebuild of my FA 600mm (this should cost my first born, but then he doesn't like me anyway, so they can have him.)

Good Shooting.
Cheers: David

WHAT DID YOU DO TO A 600MM and what version is it?


Also to roentarre: I have done about the same too.
50 F1.4, DA16-45 F4, 77mm Limited, DA50-200mm
K10 is coming hopefully begin of this week, keeping fingers crossed.



PRICING
I should have pricing tomorrow. I am meeting up w/ my friend than. I will PM adam/Mo with that info, they will set what go's and if final approval, how much. (Hint: I would suggest something like $10/ec that should cover costs, and give a lil to the site for upkeep too. I know its a little high, but maybe we can see about that. Though after all it is meant to be more of a way to keep funds up for the site)

WHAT DID YOU DO TO A 600MM and what version is it.

Hi Brendan,
It is an FA 600mm and I didn't do anything to it honest. I bought it in a little shop in Maine and never tried it untill I got home. ( I didn't want the guy I bought it from to know how much of a jerk he was. ( when you have a sucker right). the price for it was really to low to be true. I took a few shots with it and found I had focusing problems. I took it over to our local repair shop and Wes cleaned the contacts of both camera and lens but this did not solve the problem. so I sent it to Pentax Service. (they did the exact same thing and sent it back) still not working right so I contacted Pentax and told them the fix didn't work. I sent it back again (they still have it) and Pentax said the only thing they could think of doing was to tear it down and rebuild it. I told them what ever it takes for what I spent on the lens I want it done. So I hope to have it back by spring.(would be very nice) but I call them each week and the lens is at the factory and they are so far behind in regular production, It will be a while.

Good Shooting.
Cheers: David

PS. Just to let you and Adam know It's worth the price just to be a supporter.
the stickers would be great Idea as a bonus, for say a $20.00 donation. or what ever you could give to the site.

[BrendanPK]

yes I remember you telling me about that one now.
(I hate You!)
Maybe i could use it one day you could use my 300 2.8

I got some rough pricing, I will PM adam with it.
I will also post the "options" we could have, I would settle on max of 2.
THe current design would cost a little more with the red. An all white (or I found a brushed gray color that looks better I think, will be the cheapest option.
On average orders of 12 at the existing size will be needed for a decent cost price for decals. Bumper-sticker types would be a little about the same even with the "3" colors (red, white, black)
I will post some of the additional designs later
