I didn't just buy a Pentax ME today. I'll surely not be getting it next week.

That's probably the reason you asked me to send it to your mom today.

Analogue CBA is becoming a serous problem with epedemic proportions in this forum. Maybe you all should start forming support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Would CBAA be a suitable abbreviation?

The Agfa APX 100 & 400 (and some Kodak Tech Pan) in my fridge and freezer have begun to crowd out the food! But artists have to starve, you know, so it's OK.

I have a roll of Fuji NPS 160 in my freezer, just in case I get the urge.

Javier: As you probably know, I shoot film only. I recently had as many as seven bodies, and now I am down to four. I suppose I go back and forth between CBA and LBA. I eschew digital, but I am happy that the digital frenzy has allowed me to purchase so many nice (and dirt cheap) film bodies.

PS: Your ME Super looks quite spiffy. I should have mine back from Eric tomorrow.

Regards,
Glen

And I thought I was bad with the MZ-50, MZ-5n, *istDS and K10D, (oh I forgot the latter two are digital.....LOL) I can understand 3 film bodies (one for colour, one for slide and one for BW, but 6!) I will have to catch up.....

You need that many for the proper Latin tenses:

The one about to be loaded
the one being loaded
the one being shot
the one being unloaded
the one that was unloaded

And if you have color vs. b&w, that makes a minimum 10 bodies. Boy am I glad digital only needs:
the one with the empty chip
the one with the chip being filled
the one with the full chip

Pentax Buying Addiction

QuoteOriginally posted by jgredline Quote

What are you going to be using for film?
BW400CN right now - easy to process and I'm not good enough to warrant better film and custom processing.

And the shutter sound of an SV or Spotmatic is a treat all its own as well.
Likewise a KX or K2

No, you certainly didn't. You surely won't be getting it next week, either. But you are an OK guy, nonetheless.

My sig formerly asked, "Is there an Anonymous?"

In addition to the cameras shown in my sig, I have a K2, ME and an Oly E20n. Some of the above are sort of For Sale.

At the peak I also had - 2 black Spotmatic SPII's, 3 more KX's, 2 K2's, a black AND a chrome MX - but I rarely used anything but the three in my sig and an Olympus XA I keep in the car.

I know I suffer from PBA (Pentax Buying Addiction). It can never be cured, but I can recover if I give myself to this simple program - sell the cameras I do not use, one camera at a time.
