Feb 3: MX

I've got gear acquisition syndrome. Though I love my black MX, I wish Pentax had made an aperture priority auto model to go with it. OK, there's the ME Super, but I don't like the push button controls. Too fiddly. I had one and traded it years ago. So I'm looking at Olympus OM-2s on ebay, I could just see myself with one of those. With a nice 50mm f1.4. Hmmm. Just like David Bailey. A kind of 'thinking man's Nikon'. Can't see myself getting one though. I'd need a 100 f2.8 and a 28 f2.8, a spare body or two and I already have all that with my Pentax system. It'll pass.

I always yearned for a black MX, but back in my twenties even having two of any finish was a bit extreme.

Hmmmm... I'm off ebay for a little while. I was getting carried away.
