Perhaps the value of the SMCT big glass will go up a little too. My SMCT 300/4 would be a 450/4 and my SMCT 500/4.5 a 750/4.5 which will be a big help with motor racing. If it'll take screwmount stuff then there is a whole world of "obsolete" 3rd party lenses that are no longer obsolete. Time to search out that 6x7 Zoomar 240/1.2 ! It would also be amusing to see an M37 asahiflex lens on a *ist digital. I believe there were M37 - M42 adapters which could then be mounted in an M42 - K mount adapter.
