4 May

I knew I should have bought that plant from Sainsbury's on my way home from work,
but thought that £6.99 was being a bit OTT just for a PAD!
Anyway to the photograph...
Around 4 years ago I decided I wanted an automatic SLR with one suitable lens to replace my Olympus OM-2n and collection of lenses.
I decided to buy the Pentax MZ7 with Sigma 28-300 lens and tried to part exchange my Olympus kit.
When I was offered peanuts I had to keep it and was glad I did as over the last 4 years I have used it regularly
including a black & white print course at Norton College. (Ok I stopped using it when I bought the D70)
This is the 65-200mm F4 zoom attached to the camera.
Must run a film through it again some time!

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
10s f/32.0 at 105.0mm ISO 200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

I always wanted an OM4-Ti.In fact I saw one secondhand for £800 !!!! I hope my D70 keeps its value that well....

There was smething nice, solid and well engineered about the old kit, just a shame they have to use film !

I love those fancy lines on lenses. They dont' seem so common any more.
