A Tamron 135mm 2.8 with an M42 mount, swaped out for a K mount I have spare. Then all for the Nikons; 35 1.8 g, Tamron 18-270 and a Sigma 10-20.

A Sony A290 came up when I was mindlessly looking at Ebay, great price with the kit lens so its on the way. Said kit lens will most likely go back on the auction site as I am not a big fan of 18-55 lenses having only kept the one with the K50 as it is also white and weather sealed so the combo can be used in bad weather. The 290 is a CCD based camera as far as I can tell the same sensor as in the 380 I have and that produces good files similar in rendition to the 10mp sensor in the K200, K10 and Nikon D60,80,200 cameras.

I bought a rock and roll bed for the T4 so the kids can now go in her and I seem to be acquiring a Nikon D80, no lens though but as it is as good as free well can't pass that up. Had a D80 before and was quite pleased with the output and it has the in body AF motor that a lot of the lower end Nikon's dropped.

I have had the S3 twice, regret selling frequently there is something magical about that sensor, damn tempted to buy another and the Nikon 85mm 1.8.

I also have the Tamron 18-200 and Pentax 28-200, Jay Maisel is a big user of super zooms the Nikon 28-300 I think. You are right its better to get the photograph than not at all.

A Sigma 28-300mm in K mount, am a big fan of super zooms even though they are inherently compromised but I think and feel the drive for perfection can be overrated but mainly they are very convenient.

Not a camera or a lens, not a photographic thing but something that will help facilitate some photographic projects; a VW T4 camper van.

FA 50mm 1.4, Sigma 24mm 2.8, Sony 50mm 1.8, Tamron 70-30 last 3 Sony/Minolta mount. Now looking for a 35mm and around 90mm at a reasonable price and desired primes will be sorted, though a 16 would be good that might entail either a Samsung NX or Sony E mount to facilitate and Im not sure I want to buy either and a VW camper van looking for one of them.

Err I got a Sony 380 dirt cheep, I think its the highest resolution APSc CCD Sensor camera at 14mp, there was a Kodak full frame I think was higher. It was a price I could not refuse and I am sure I have a Minolta lens or two some place.

A K200 due to the K10d thread making me fancy a CCD sensor camera and it was a great price, a spare 35-80 Tamron from a charity shop, a Tamron 70-210 as it had the right mount on and I am enjoying using manual focus lenses. Now need to go to Ikea and buy a shed load of batteries.

One of these and some other Tamron lens as it was the cheepest way to get a KA mount, the 35-80 was £18 so that seems good.

What is wrong with both? Some cameras are quite beautiful things of themselves so on a shelf to look at is fine. People collect fine china plates (my late mother did) but still use plates on a daily basis, so if someone wanted to have a collection of all the 1960's Pentax cameras in a display case but uses only digital it seems perfectly reasonable. Besides those that collect old cameras or other things are saving them for future people to see and enjoy.

So I have bought a K50, the Pentax experiment has worked out having acquired the Tokina 100-300, K-X Pentax kit lens, 28-200 FA and 50mm A also a Tamron 18-200 so thought a second body was an idea. The K50 has though cost me more than the rest combined by a fair bit, it also means I have a second kit lens, will sell one and bonus for me anyhow it is a white one, matches my Panasonic G3. Now its the hunt for the couple of lenses I want to round out the set, 16mp is plenty enough for me.

Wait, I thought there is always room for another camera or lens just to see what it brings or as a spare. Well that is my reasoning anyway.

I am inclined to agree, an awful lot of cameras from the last good few years are perfectly serviceable machines. The KX I got for £20 is plenty good enough, the 6mp thread here shows that even older cameras can take fantastic photographs.

A Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 as I used to have this on a Fuji S3 and I loved it then, though I had first gen on the Fuji and now have the second gen on a Km. Also I got a 50mm f2 A series, was a blinding price. I don't shoot much out side the 18-90mm range on a 1.5x camera and the 18-50 range is my main range by far.
