About three and half year ago my son was born. A great excuse to go
replace my Instamatic with something a little better. I was ( I now
think) poor enough at the time to only be able to afford a Pentax
K-1000. A camera best described as crush-proof and fully manual.

Using the Pentax involves developing a certain amount of knowledge
about f stops, ASA, shutter speeds and the rest. I came to love
taking pictures through the effort I had to put into it.

These days I still take picture of the kids as I find them the
easiest peaple to convice they want their picture taken, but
I now take mostly scenic and object trouve (my wife calls them
bits of junk). I'll take a snap of anything interesting.

My camera bag now contains:
	K-1000
	28 mm
	50 mm
	200 mm
	x2 adapter
	Kodachrome 64.

Any suggestions for a better lightweight kit ?

One of my fondest hopes is to be able to sell a picture (help keep the
IRS a bay). Anybody in netland have any suggestions how to start ?
