Looks like a "HOLGA" mod to me....

I laughed so hard that I've got tears running out of my eyes!

I had lunch at Sonic just the other day. If I had known I could've gotten a 500mm lens out of the cup that I was drinking my diet Dr. Pepper out of, I would've saved it and used it for my DYI 500mm lens project.

I should send this one to my dad. He'll be really sorry now that he went with the Canon XSi instead of the Pentax K200. Where else can you get a fairly fast, lightweight 500mm lens for such a reasonable price.

Us Pentaxians are such an ingenious bunch.

Damn it! Here I was saving for the DA * 200mm, now this! My LBA is out of control!

I had one of those, but the colors were on the cool side...
