Hi Peter,
I am guessing that Stan wrote that last reply prior to reading your comments
about the powerzoom and its affects on mounting that lens, and this is why I
didn't worry to respond (and you did it for me now anyways!).
I am glad that you did provide this info though, as even though I did work
out that it was that "ridge" that was in the way of the lens mounting
correclty, I wasn't aware what the ridge (and power zoom contacts) were for
and might very well have continued to try to mount it, thus damaging my
cameras.
I have had another very recent acquisition (last week) of an ME Super
(offered to me by a very generous PDML'er who wish to remains anonymous.
BTW, thanks again, if you are reading this!). The 28mm works perfectly on
the ME Super and as it turns out, is a wonderful lens which has now found a
permanent home on this body. As far as extra specs for it go, I have no
idea what else you may need to know? It has 55mm filters, is a Vivitar
Series 1 f2/28mm prime with "PK" written on its mount and also the following
written on the inner rim of the filter thread "Auto Wide-Angle No.22838226".
Does anybody know what "Auto" means? I am guessing it has something to do
with "autoexposure" on the relevant bodies?
As for establishing a list of other lenses that are affected by this, I
agree that it would be a good idea. I am unaware of any others at this
stage, but will receive the Vivitar Series 1 VMC 28-90 f2.8/3.5 macro next
week and will let you know what I discover then.
Right now though, I'm gonna do some scanning and show you all what I've been
up to on the weekend....
fairy.
