    well then, fancy this. heh

    Pentax K-1000
    SMC Pentax-A 50mm f2.82 lens
    Corton 75-200mm f4 zoom lens
    2x macro converter
    no flash unit

    Recently upgraded to a:

    Canon AE-1
    Canon FD 50mm f1.8 lens

    I consider my Nikon Cool Pix L22 a snapshot camera, so it doesn't count.

    Elemento don't be hard on yourself! It's not the best gear that makes the photo..... It's you that clicks the button, the camera just stores the photo. Today it's not about the cameras anymore..... Invest in lenses and you'll have a blast! I hope to see some shots from you using the tubes

    Ron - The snapshot camera does count!

    It might be useful to use manual focus when you are using different extension tubes
