Probably best not to request in-lens stabilisation, then?

And people ask why we stick with Pentax?

MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA THIS is why we stick with Pentax!

Well to be fair to the makers, wasn't the original from back in the day when lenses didn't even stop their apertures down automatically? If you're buying a reproduction lens from the pre-Super-Takumar era, asking for aperture A contacts might be seen as stretching the friendship more than a little!

You're right, but I wasn't requesting it. I was just curious since they're making it in both a M42 and K mount version.

Had a F1.9 Primoplan in the 1960's to replace a 2.8 Tessar, but TBH the latter was the sharper lens - so,, unless the new version is optically better, and with better contrast, then I would not consider it.

Hey guys...

Just wanted to say that the kickstarter combo of the primoplan 58 and 75mm is priced cheaper than purchasing the 75mm by itself.

Primoplan 75/ f1.9 | Meyer-Optik-Goerlitz

WHOA.

I have a 24mm, 50 and 125mm for pentax, so a 58 and 75 may be a great idea.
