Hi P.J. thanks for your answer. I wonder whether there are some other nice Cosina lenses for Pentax, I got a 1.9 50mm prime with a body but never used it so far?
What about "Exacta" lenses for KMount, they look cheaply build and are very lightweight but maybe some of them are still usable? Anybody got any experiences with "Exacta"? greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: P. J.
