I've never tried any of them. My opinion is that if they're too lightly
built, they won't last long.

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

The M lens was made in the days before massive re-badging. I expect
that it's a different lens.

Hi Mark
I tried right now to see the photos but the links are dead ....
Is that Cosina different from the Pentax A/M200 or the same lens under
another name?

These were taken with a Cosina 200/4.0 manual focus lens (no "A"
setting). These small web images don't do it justice - it's really a
very nice lens, both optically and in terms of construction. It's back
from the days when lenses were built from lots o' metal and glass :)
even though it's "M class" in terms of size.
