Yes - I got a good ebay deal on the famous 55mm f4 for my Pentax 67. Very nice :-) At PentaxForums.com it's rated 10 by most people :-) And i finally got around to buying a Manfrotto 322RC2 head. Man, that's nice: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/sets/72157625905382599/ Regards Jens -- Treat

I found the 300/4 to be a decent lens and used it quite a bit. With a 6x7 negative, many sins are forgiven. I shot this with the 300/4, f32, 1 second. Hardly an ideal ap but necessary to get the DOF I needed here: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5416945size=lg Here's one with the

Thanks Bob. In regard to the girl's eyes, I would have liked to have seen them as well. But she couldn't avoid squinting, even though she wasn't in sunlight. I think that's because she wears sunglasses constantly. Paul On Nov 5, 2010, at 6:15 PM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Paul, I think that 1st

Go for it, Nick. They seem to be getting cheaper each day :-) Although I've noticed, that on ebay the prices seem to vary a great deal. For instance a 165mm LS lens (which I want soon) seem to sell for sometimes 100 USD and sometimes 500 USD, according to completed listings. Regards Jens --

Thanks. Yes film is great - again. I believe that the digital photography revolution have really killed many of the bad or not so good labs. No developing at the nearest street corner anymore. Now we MUST go to a real pro-lab. And when we do, we get excellent high rez. negs, that will scan to

The last version of the 55/4, with the lens information printed on the tapered end of the focusing barrel (like an SMC-A lens) is excellent. The 55/4 that precedes it was not. Paul On Nov 4, 2010, at 6:43 AM, Gasha wrote: What was your impression about 55/4 ? Is it worth to get it ? I
