A friend wants a new camera. He is fixated on a Nikon D70 for some reason. We were at Best Buy looking at the options they have last evening. Did you know that all Nikon and Canon lenses are made by Panasonic? Or that pretty much every lens for those brands other than the supplied kit lenses

Cotty, Perhaps you should consider the SMC Takumar version of this lens. It has relatively modern coatings and shouldn't require any modification at all. Just screw it into an adapter, set the A/M switch to manual and away you go. It was selling for a bit less as well last time I checked.

Cotty, You're not going to get much fisheye effect at 17mm unless you're getting a 1DS. Tokina makes the 10-17 fisheye zoom in a Canon mount. Of course, you would miss the sadistic glee of a mount transplant without anesthesia... Rick --- Cotty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm on the lookout
