It's not just Pentax lenses either. A little while back, I was looking for a 90mm lens for my 4x5 camera. I was looking at Schneider Angulons. A year or so ago, they were selling for $150-160 in good shape. Last one I watched ended up going for $338. A year or so ago, you could get an decent older Super Angulon (larger lens, better coverage, newer design) for that price. I did however, find myself a nice Wollensak Rapter Super Wide Angle 90/12.5. Now to remove the aperture stop in the shutter so I can open it up far enough to see the image on the focusing screen. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
