Replace the 35mm lenses.
At least they'll work when Pentax comes out with a full frame digital
camera... ;-)

Joe,
What do you really like to do?
Do those 67 negatives really excite you?
Maybe you need a 67 and a couple of lenses.
I think the 35mm kit is really important.
I'd replace as much of that as possible,
although I might consider the DA lens option.
There has been lots of positive comments on the new DA zooms.
They make it easier to carry the kit.
(Myself, I might try the drinking and hookers but my wife would beat
me to death.)

It turns out that my insurance coverage (still haven't found the actual
policy - just coverage limits) is replacement value. With a good addendum.
Once my equipment's replacement costs are estimated by an independent
company (I hope) I will be paid that amount without question for my loss
($500 deductible). As I replace the pieces that I can from the used market
if I can find them, anything that costs me more that the estimate will be
paid for based on the receipts I tender. If it is no longer manufactured or
reasonably unobtainable, I can replace the old equipment with new items that
equal to or come close to the lost items in specification, and I will then
be paid the difference.
So I'm asking for recommendations from the crew. Keeping in mind that I have
a K100, a K10, a K20, a PZ-1P, three LX bodies and ALL the accessories every
made for it, about 25 K-mount full frame lenses left, a 67 135mm Macro left,
a Pentax cassette loader for the 250 frame back for the LX, and a very small
freezer full of bricks and boxes and 100 ft rolls of 35mm and 120 film, and
sheet film in 3 sizes. And don't forget, I'm 66 yrs. old, and statistics say
will live only another ten years at best unless I lose 80 pounds and start a
program of vigorous daily exercise, in which case I'll most likely live an
additional one or two!
What would a PDML'r do?
Replace my rarely used 67 gear? Y N
Replace my great 35mm lenses? Y N
Buy new DA* optics for Digital Y N
and sell my LXs and PZ-1p?
Sell all the gear I now own and Y N
get a Canon body + 2 lenses?
Sell everything and invest it all in Y N
the stock market?
Sell everything, and spend it all Y N
on hookers?
Take up drink as a final solution? Y N
