SMC 1.4 50mm >>
1. Super Program w/50 f/1.4 "A" (or "M") w/circular polarizer (functions as
ND filter and vitally necessary for the 50 f/1.4 in many daytime situations).
2. Vivitar (NASA) 70-210 3.5 (constant) zoom with that fabulous true macro
feature that gets you down to within 11" ~of the film plane!~
*Good as most PENTAX constant zooms, including the PENTAX f/2.8 "pro" lenses.
3. A sturdy monopod.*
*Besides its obvious use, you can't ~know~ how a sturdy monopod helps
negotiate steep paths (or as a speed brake going downhill).
4. Motor "A" (for those times when hand-cranking just won't do).
Weight? 8 lbs (10 w/Motor "A"). Easily fits in carry-on bags or photo
jackets.
