This lens is currently on sale on ebay in Australia
SMC Pentax 1000mm F8 Lens - eBay Film Camera Lenses, Lenses, Photographic Accessories, Cameras. (end time 07-Jun-09 21:25:18 AEST)
and here's the moon shot with it:
It's a better cleaner shot but I am not seeing much more detail than with with my 55-300mm
I thought those old lenses were pretty good or was it just a lousy shot? Or maybe the mold?
Not sure but I will try again with a 1.7x teleconverter and a K series 300mm I just bought (once it arrives). Will shoot both full moon as crescent/half moon pics and repost, in case people are interested!
Cheers,
Daniel
