This is a portrait of my friend Garrick who plays the jazz tenor saxaphone in SF Bart Stations and public places. Taken with a Noctilux with Fuji 400 film, converted to b&w in Picasa.

Ted, got any shots of your friend with the sax in the picture?
BTW, did you sell your Noct and Summi lenses?

Hi Warren,
Wow, lots of great photos from you, Mike and others!
Yes, I'll post a photo of Garrick with his sax, actually he has it on now, and you can see the strap I think, but I have other photos of him smiling.
Haven't sold the Noct or Lux yet, I can't justify keeping both though, so will likely be selling one soon, can't decide which I really need to keep though.
Just got a K100D Super to use some old K-mount and M42 glass with, another reason to sell some expensive RF glass soon.
I would love to see some shots from your K100D with the old Takumar lenses. I had a Pentax Spotmatic and an Asahi H3V at one time. I never really liked old Pentax slr bodies that much but the Takumar lenses that I used were superb. I had a 28mm f3.5, 50mm f1.4, 55mm f1.8, and a 105mm f2.8

Hi Ted,
I'm guessing you have a 50mm already, but if you want to play around with a Vivitar 24mm or a Pentax SMC 135mm, let me know and I can bring them Tuesday. The Spotmatic was my first camera, and I still run a roll through it now and then.
I'm hoping to not get into the LBA (lens buying addiction) with this dslr, I will be using it with an old 35/1.9 Vivitar branded lens, 28/2.8 JC Penny lens, and a 50mm Chinon 1.9 lens (I think Cosina mfg.).
They all work great, and I wouldn't mind using any out in the rain or whatever.
The pentax pancake 40/2.8ltd is interesting, but other than size, I haven't seen images much better than the 35/1.9 old manual lens I have (though the latter is many times larger).
