Jan. 2009 Outing - Suggestions & Registration

[le petit prince]

Finally we got a lady Pentaxian joining in this time

Make that 2.. fliplock is another

And guys, do note she and I are deaf.. and we communicate best with you all via writing. Not ideal, I know, but can't be helped. Pardon if we seem standoff-ish due to this.

Those who have met me before might be surprised that I say that, but in noisy places, my hearing aids pick up more background sounds than speech, so I am practically deaf when it comes to understanding what people say.

If it's going to be crowded, wouldn't earlier be a bit better? Just wondering, I don't actually know.

Btw, where's bridge garden?

The bridge garden is that big bridge connecting People's Park Complex and Pagoda Street along Eu Tong Sen Street.

 

[istDeS]

Don't think it's me who poisoned him lah, otherwise he'd have got the full house (all three FA limiteds) already :bsmilie:

Maybe he will if you show him how good the other two FA limiteds are.:bsmilie:

Oops, sorry, but glad we have one more lady joining

Actually I didn't even notice that you have some problem hearing us until you said so Don't worry, we'll sure have some fun together ...

I tested the FA limited lenses at Shriro. The colour and sharpness is really good. I actually went back on another day to test the lenses before deciding to buy. But FW and Denis do help in part in convincing me....

 

[flowerpot]

[creampuff]

How about meeting at Chinatown Point MacDonalds?
Beside the MRT station and can eat if early.

I was there yesterday afternoon, the shop doesn't have many Pentax stuff left, only an LX and an MX, plus some accessories for them, several M42 Takumar lenses including a couple of brand new ones (if you are willing to pay the premium prices ). The shop does carry quite some camera bags and tripods nowadays, probably because film camera business is too bad

Sounds tempting. Any M or A lenses?

Also, could someone spare me a M 28 or M 135 to test for the day? B&S needs more of them. ;p

Nope, no more M/A lenses, just a brand new Takumar 17/4 fisheye, a brand new Takumar 50/4 macro, a used Takumar 85/1.9 and a used Takumar 50/1.4 I think. Prices are not cheap though.

A Takumar 85/1.9 you say? That's some find. :thumbsup: But I'll stick to K mount lenses for now.
