Not sure if anyone noticed, but I have picked up four screwmount lenses before and during my most recent vacation. Anyway, I just wanted to relate the fun I had using them. I had only carted my MZ-S and LX (2) with me on vacation. I had also left all my screwmount lenses at home, save the Tele-Takumar. I decided one day to leave all the K-mount lenses behind (okay I took the 77 Limited which has become my favorite lens to carry) and just use the new screwmount lenses for a day. Other than the hassle involved in changing lenses - and only having one Pentax K adapter - I had a blast taking photos. I had almost forgotten the feel of those lenses. The smooth focusing, the hefty feel. Also their size seemed rather small. When I get a chance I will have to post some images of the Tele-Takumar 300/6.3 on the MZ-S. The lenses looked at home on the LX, and really did not look out of place on the MZ-S. But then again, I don't mind the look of the Limited on either camera. Yes, I like Pentax and the compatability across the ages. Hey, maybe I should look for an ultra-wide angle screwmount to use on the upcoming digital SLR! :-) Cesar Matamoros II Panama City, Florida in Baltimore, Maryland - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
