Here's Ctein's reply in re P67 lenses, for Bruce Dayton and others: The reference to the lens is because I traded him an SMCP-M 50/1.7 for a box of photo paper. <s>
--Mike >>>> Dear Mike, Hi, there! I got the two newsletters and I actually got to read them a couple of days ago. Great! (more comments later in the letter) 0h, and by the way, I did get the 50 mm lens, and it checks out just fine. Tests out almost exactly the same as my current 50 mm, which makes me happy. Now I have a backup in case I break that one. If Bruce wants to ask me about specific lenses, I might be able to help him, but I doubt that I have anywhere near the depth of information about Pentax 6 X 7 lenses that you folks expect. When he asks about things like "SMC Tak versions vs. contemporary versions," I just don't have a clue. Remember that I am NOT a lens connoisseur and I generally don't track this stuff. I just know how to run a good test. If he can ask some very specific questions, I can provide very specific answers ... which may very well be "I don't know" but at least I can try, and I would be happy to give it a go. <<<< - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
