I've been playing with 35mm a bit more lately - I went down a rabbit hole with getting a Zenit 35mm SLR because it had the 16mm fisheye on it, turned out the camera was one of the later versions that had a Pentax K mount, so I wanted a less crusty camera to shoot with. So I found a Pentax MX on ShopGoodwill, with a 50 1.4 for under $100. The MX has issues, including eating batteries, so I took it in to my local repair shop. They wanted over $300 to overhaul it, so I bought a Pentax LX for not much more. Got it home, to find out it has issues with the film advance. So I bought a winder for it thinking maybe the issue was with the manual film advance lever; oops no. That didn't fix it. So now I'm sitting on a pair of problem children with a handful of lenses for them (the 16 fisheye, the 50 1.4, a 100 f2.8, 200 2.8, and a 28-70). So I'm on a gear-buying hiatus for the foreseeable future. I'll have to wait and see what the quote for fixing the LX comes in at. But until then I can keep using my Canon F1 that I have a 24, 50, and 80-200 L lenses for.
