Re: The One, The Only...Box Shot Thread! (part three)
said by bjl  :We went shopping yesterday while trying to get out of the heat (102 in the shade; up to 122 in the sun) and came home with this. My wife says it's my anniversary (Oct 14) & birthday (Oct 6) present. I wonder how long she's going to make me wait to open it.  Picture was taken with my old S230. That camera has been good to me over the past 5 years. my wife still won't let me open this.  I feel like I'm a kid again, waiting for christmas morning.  |

A few new toys  Ignore the dust, not in the lenses, just on them, lol. Haven't cleaned them up yet.
28mm f/2.8 Chinon
35mm f/2.8 Mosler
Chinon CP-5 & CP-5s (spot metering)
Edit: I forgot to add that I picked these up for just about nothing in comparison to what I should have had to pay for them, even on Ebay, lol!

| Definitely a bag. Get one big enough to grow with you a bit for when you get around to adding a few more lenses. As far as filters, I got this set of Tiffens for both of my lenses. If you select Adorama as the vendor, there is a major price difference of almost $20 compared to anywhere else.
I've gotten a fair amount of use from a tripod already, so that may be something to consider. You don't have to spend major bucks on one, but I wouldn't trust a Wal-Mart special with this setup. I already had the Suncom deluxe model you can get from Best Buy or Circuit City for like $80, and is sturdy enough for general use. There may be some cheaper models that are sturdy enough, but I especially recommend this one if you're a taller guy like me (6'4).
The last item that you might find useful (which I've yet to pick up) is a remote. The Pentax wired ones are quite pricey (more than the wireless; go figure). I think Gemologist had a link to an E-bay shop for third party ones that were like 1/4 the price.
Congrats and good luck with your new toy. You're gonna love it! |

Haven't done any real field testing just pretend, and so far it seems to be perfect for me. Now I just need a 100-400 Lens and I'll be happy for the time being.
The Expedition 5 is far roomier than I need right now, but I will be able to grow into with another body more lenses a big zoom and a flash plus tons of rooms for filters, whatever it may be. |

| Nice camera yj4x4,,,,,, looks like Santa making some early stops this year. I almost went with the D40,, but Pentax was such a good value and deal for me.
Also thanks for the advice Jodokast96 and TigerNutz,, as extra money becomes available I'll be getting some of what u mentioned,,a bag will be first to protect camera though.

I used to have a Pentax K1000 35mm SLR. For being a low end camera it was quite good. Unfortunately, it and all my lenses were stolen from my car years ago. But i can't complain, the money from the insurence company paid for my first Nikon, a N6006 that I still have and use. |
