You're kidding! How could I not have known that? In fact when I was posting a minute ago, it occurred to me that the actor who played the devil was brilliant and I didn't know who it was. You have to give credit to Ridley Scott for that film. Everyone was good, even Tom (I'm Tom Cruise) Cruise.
The name was vaguely familiar, but I had to google Pennywise. I did see "It". Once again, I didn't realize it was Tim Curry.
My favourite Unforgiven quotes, from Will Munny (Clint Eastwood). Squint when you read these:
"Hell of a thing, killin' a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have."
"I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another, and I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you done to Ned."
"All right, I'm comin' out. Any man I see out there, I'm gonna kill him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill his wife and all his friends. Burn his damn house down."
Sorry, back to acquisitions. I'll stop now. :cool:

Great deal! I like your taste, I've enjoyed all of those. Unforgiven is my favourite duster of all time. Legend was the best movie Cruise has ever done.

Yeah, it looks like it's been kept in the box since 1990 and the box was kept in a box. But I'm sending it back. The AF doesn't work and I suck at manual focus. :confused:

I don't feel any envy at all over this lens. Probably because I don't know what it is. :o

New flash bracket, Custom Brackets Digital Folding-T:
Portrait orientation:
An unexpected bonus. The shoe cord I bought has a swivel that is great for macro shooting:
Folded up for packing:
This system should be nice for weddings, sports and macro shooting.

I've been using the grey wrist strap because I hadn't found anything better. You pointed to exactly what I need; a leather wrist strap with a split-ring attachment. The Pentax lug is rather sharp, in fact it cut the first wrist strap I tried. Fortunately the camera didn't fall. A metal ring will resolve that issue. The colour selection is ideal. Gordy's O-ring is a great feature too. I hate that most wrist straps constantly slide off. Thanks Séamuis, much appreciated.
It is as I was told; tiny, sharp from wide open and great contrast. The FA 50mm is a small lens but once you put a hood on it, as I always do, the size difference is very evident. I'm intending to carry the K-x/DA40/fanny pack everywhere. I'll miss some shots because of the fixed focal length, but not because I don't have a camera.
PS I just gave you an attaboy for the Gordy tip.

I've had the K-x since January, but the 40mm Ltd is new and so is the fanny pack. I bought the belt pack specifically to carry this combo. The DA 40 is a beauty; tiny but solid, sharp from wide open, great contrast and the waist pack is very unobtrusive. I've wanted a pancake lens since before I bought my first DSLR and it's extra nice to have this small body to mount it on.
