Almost a little of everything. My screwmount gear has been somewhere in a moldy basement 650 miles away for more than 35 years, so I did not think I should really count that.

Pentax should note the amount of 3rd party lens ownership.

Not many people are shooting film.. it's a pity.
But developping is not that cheap (except if you have a lab).
And who prints every photo taken with DSLR nowadays?? (Another poll? ^^)

I don't like shooting film myself. Everytime I take a picture I think "well there's 25 cents". Because it costs so much I can't get myself to relax. I've become a better photographer shooting digital because I'm not so afraid to make mistakes.

Yes they should. I know Pentax's camera department is small but a bigger lens selection would be nice.

Well, mostly lenses for my DSLR and a Pentax P&S.
I missed out on the film SLRs that Pentax had to offer since I was shooting Nikon then.

I'd imagine we're running out of room for more options, and the poll's starting to get a bit unwieldy. Still, it'd be interesting to see ownership broken down by specific models, and also expanded to include things like flash strobes (Pentax and third party), grips, etc.

Plus a Cosina PK mount SLR with 50/2 A. My son (see Avatar) plays with this one. It can take it too

Also own Pentax binoculars. My wife likes them better than her Nikons of similar specs.

So start some more polls. Everybody here loves polls. Let's see, you could start separate polls for ownership (past and/or present) (per brand) of:
* film and digital SLR's, P&S's, RF's, MF's, LF's, panocams, spycams, vid- and/or cine-cams, aerial / xray / pinhole cams;
* motor drives, motor-driven cams (electric or spring or whatever), hand-crank cams;
* flashes, lighting systems, IR / UV / multispectral lights, repeating strobes, light-show gear;
* grips, tripods, monopods, minipods, steadicam / bike / helmet mounts, dollies, cranes;
* rocket / plane / chopper / balloon cams and mounts (model or full-size);
* micro- and tele-scopes, mono- and bin- and trin-oculars;
* filters, diopters, effects glass; et cetera.
Working on those should keep us busy awhile. Hmm, should this go into the OBSESSING ON GEAR thread?

I've got a very old Pentax spot meter. Disapointed they quit making these. I'd like to get a newer model.
