It's Photo World again. Already been there twice. Nothing jumps out at me; I can't afford the f/2.8 zooms, nobody's selling Pentax primes, the Canon 5D Mark II plus 24-105mm f/4 L kit lens costs a mind-boggling 180,000 pesos which is the down payment on a car or an apartment (or could buy you a ten-year old Honda Civic or half of a ten-year old BMW 3-series sedan).
I was looking for the Nikon DK-21M magnifying eyecup, so that my K10D viewfinder can feel "full-frame-ish," but nobody has it in stock. Nobody has those cheap 350-peso umbrella clamps either, they're only selling the 1,200-peso umbrella clamps. I should make the clamps myself from steel epoxy, save me a trip to Binondo.
June the used camera guy has a 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor-P in thoroughly beat-up condition for 4,500 pesos. Not a bad price (checked ebay completed auctions) but I'd hesitate to buy one in such a state for that price. He said he'd bring some Pentax lenses tomorrow (but he said that yesterday!)
Maybe I should just buy wireless triggers and return Dennis' ones. Those I'm sure I will use.
