First post here.
1982 I bought a Ricoh XR2s - at the time, it was = to a Pentax A or similar?
1998 I bought a Pentax MZ50 - OK but bland by the standard of nowadays. Motor wind, hard on batteries.
2004 I bought a Pentax *istD - OK on batteries, had to upgrade the hard drives
2008 I am buying a K20D - more hard drive upgrades & backup strategies req'd.
I still have all my cameras, they all work remarkably well. I shoot b+w with the Ricoh with the SMC A 50mm 1.4 attached, the MZ gets no use really, it has the Sigma --can I say that in here? kit lenses 28-80 and 70-300 with switchable macro which actually works well with the D.
I have another 50mm 1.4 A lens I use on the D, a 135mm A @ 2.8 which is great for sports photography.
I actually still get such a kick from looking at my last 28 years of photos in the albums and there are so many photos on my hard drives that ought to be in albums - it's just too easy to not print a digital image and albumise it. The PC has a lot to answer for in that regard - our photo albums are now captive on our computers unless unlike me, you print & put the shots along side their ancestors. I took a time to come around to digital but it is great for the simple fact that you can see if you blew a shot then & there, not a month later as you kick the cat on the way out of the photolab. The creative side is easier as well. Who has a darkroom these days?
I have more lenses, am getting the DA 18-250mm lens with the K10D so I can do a trip without lens changes and pollution inside the case as happens in remote and random locations.
Great forum chaps.
