LOL Well, the truth is, as of yesterday, I'm actually "bossless" - and really, it is a great thing for our department, as some so called "bosses" have no people skills by any means. It really feels like a breath of fresh air, at last!

I will re-do all the images this morning/afternoon to make sure that all optimized for 750 viewing.

P.S. I really like the gallery style, great work James!

Don't call me boss. :P If I were a boss in real life, all the crew members would suffer from my OCD traits...

Thanks for all the trouble you are going through in uploading these fabulous images. I had been working on another website now... I think I am too easily distractable

Sorry boss, will fix - completely forgot about 750. I realized that I neeeeeeeeed to establish a workflow for my images, so I can easily re-size with minimal loss of quality.

M39 can be converted to M42 via an adaptor sold on ebay for 24 dollars or so.

But a novelex adaptor is needed to bridge the lens itself to a SLR. Otherwise the back of the lens would hit the mirror itself...

Topcor are produced in either in M39 rangefinder mount or M42 mount

BTW, the longer border of the uploaded images cannot exceed 750 in themes of time

Bummer on that Topcor! BTW, what mount - M39 or Topcon with some kind of converter?

Topcor 58mm f1.4 is off ebay now!!! Bad news. I had been waiting for that auction to end...

Yes, I have been wowed about how good Nikkor 55mm f1.2 is and really keen to check it out myself.

Speaking of pentaxians in the local area. We have 37 pentax users that are registered in this forum but only 3 of us are really hanging out together.

Time will come when there are more photographers in your region. To be honest, it does not have to be pentax users to hang out with.

Oh man, I'm so far into the country, have no one near to test/try anything with =) Just PM'ed on the listing for Cosina f1.2, want to give that a world too, hoping it is not sold yet. Do post your photos with Nikkor, always fascinated with large aperture lenses!

I am meeting him up tonight and gonna try out his new Russian lenses too.

I am getting a Nikkor 55mm f1.2 to try
