Have a good time exploring it! If you have any questions, feel free to comtact me off-list as well. >Any�comment�on�the�lens�it�came�with?�Helios�58mm,��f2. I didn't like it at all. It wasn't sharp at all... Replace it with a cheap russian Mir 2.8/37 or a Zeiss Tessar 2.8/50, or a Takumar if you plan to use it for taking pictures as well... Please note that Zenit E uses manual diaphragm lenses. Gabor - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
