The first seems to be the almost similar to the 35mm Macro limited by Pentax.
Anyone tried these Zeiss lenses, especially the Sonnar, and want to post a couple of pics and experiences?
p.s. I paid C$145 for the 35mm and C$97 for the 135mm, both look clean from photo's (we will see when I pick them up).
p.p.s I got a genuine Pentax M42 to K mount adapter for C$25 + tax at Henry's here Toronto.
I don't have and K, or M lenses excluding me from other clubs, so I started a new one on here.. lol
You are going to love the flektogon 35/2.4, i had a low serial number one (Apparently there are 2 serialnumber ranges, one for export, and one for DDR domestic sales, rumor has it, the lower serials are for international sales and had more QC) a while back, but the misfocusing body "made me" sell it, when i looked recently to get one for the K20D, i could not even find one at the $160US i had paid for mine, so $145CAD is a steal, and you are right, it does focus close and it's blistering sharp, that aside, i expect you will appreciate it's color and contrast.
Good luck with your club, if people can get steals like that, they should join you. I won't have the leftover $160+ right now to rejoin
IS this the elektro or the full mechanical i am talking about?
