I dont think that the superb quality of the pentax screwmount, K, and M lenses are a secret. But, I do admit, to many people they are just "obsolete" "old" lenses, even though they have never used them and know nothing of their imaging qualities. jco

Hi Shel, I had a similar experience with a Super Tak 135/3.5. A lens that I paid all of $10 for at a camera show. And the bokeh on the lens is beautifully creamy at the wider apertures. Let's keep this our little secret, so we can buy up all of the underrated screwmount lenses. ;-) -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
