Originally posted by m8o this just doesn't add up. I kinda think it's someone who bought this stuff up at an estate sale and is re-selling it. My thinking is
a) someone 'in the biz' would recognize how well some of these match with the K10D
b) someone 'in the biz' would list the speed of the lens. I don't see one f-stop in any of the listings.
... just doesn't seem like someone who's owned these for years is the one selling them. JMHO.
The flashes won't work at all. ---and so far I don't know of any
replacement for the 080C ringlite that will.--- I own one and am screwed....
The M series lenses---while usable---- are a kludge due to the crippled
k mount on the digital.---I've kept my lenses because a few years ago
a dumped all my M series on ebay and bought A series when they were selling at pretty close to the same money.---- turns out to have been a pretty brilliant thing to have done....
However my frustration is that with the APS format the lenses that were my real favorites with the film camera perform differently on the digital making them lenses that I don't like any more. For example I think the 24-50
was one of my all times favorites on film.... but it just isn't the same on the digital body.......
