I find myself seduced into considering lenses on mounts that I'd have to modify or adapt. Do I really need DKL-mount Voigtlander and Schneider and Kodak lenses, when a DKL-M42 adapter costs ~US$65 and a DKL-PK job is even more? Do I really want Exakta lenses which require custom-building adapters? Am I a glutton for punishment? Stay tuned for the gruesome details.

If you're a glutton for punishment and modification, I'll trade you my Mamiya 135 2.8 SX mentioned above for your 55, plus as much beer as you require.

I have just got myself back into photography after about 25 years. In those years I was into music and playing guitar. I was caught up in what they call G.A.S. {Gear Acquisition Syndrome}. Now I find it ironic I am spending most my time now on "FleBay" looking for the best deals on A series prime lenses as I used to searching effects pedals and amps! L.B.A. is fun though!
