As I have had an interest in photography for a good few years now (late 60s) I have accumulated a fair amount of equipment.

Just a few bits and bobs then.
I tend to sell my older lenses to help fund the upgrade.

I suppose that could the problem I have - I just don't like to part with it Seriously though, some of the modern lenses are maybe lighter, computer designed and built for digital. However, some of my FA Lenses are actually appreciating because pentax lenses of that quality are just not about. Of course there is the lure of the Pentax Full Frame Digital..

Just found a Pentax FA*200mm F2.8 for sale. Great for portraits of my Grandaughter as I can be far enough away to get those candid shots she will love me to show her friends when she grows up!!
