A few days ago I inquired about a 39mm to 42mm adapter because I wanted to try an old Industar Zenit lens in the ist D. Well, Shel loaned me his, so behold this anachronism, the black tape special edition soviet * ist D:

Has anyone mounted older lenses on their digital cameras? Anyway, as it is, the lens doesn't seem to focus to infinity, even though it should (it is an SLR lens, and there are adapters for M42 made to be used with it). It makes for a nice portrait lens though. I might even go out and take some pictures with it now. j -- Juan Buhler http://www.jbuhler.com blog at http://www.jbuhler.com/blog
