So I put my Q7 on my Pentax K 500mm f4.5 lens:

The lens is pretty awful on digital (lots of chromatic aberration and

Hi
I have just acquired - and have been using - a late version SMC 500 4.5, I also have
an SMC-A 400 5.6. The telephoto effect and the compression of planes is much more
noticeable with the 500mm lens. The manual diaphragm is a slight drag but not too bad
with an auto camera. I focus at f4.5
WOW
I agree that #01 is the best. I can't tell you how delighted I am to
see really fine images done with a thread mount Spotmatic of similar vintage
to my own.
I also appreciate your information on how you scanned the negatives.
Beautiful work!!!

G'day Mark,
Those are all excellent shots. I really like the colours in "Blue

The guy also had a SMC K 500mm f4.5 with original case that could only

The lens is pretty awful on digital (lots of chromatic aberration and
