I've tried emailing him in the past regarding a rare 55mm f1.8‏ Takumar, but he never replied. What's the best way to contact him?

That's how I did but it was something like 5 years ago. Have you PM'ed nesster?

Ah ok. Who's nesster if you don't mind me asking? I'm kind of new here, still finding my way around.

Nesster is a member who is somewhat of an authority on the 50's - 70's cameras and lenses. (He) also has scanned hundreds of pages of PopPhoto advertising pages and Pentax price lists and posted the scans to Flickr. Another member Woof has also been helpful in the past but isn't around much any more. I bought a K and 55/1.8 Zebra from Woof some years ago, and I have a near mint set coming from eBay (I hope - I haven't heard a word since I bought it last week).

And I see you're resurrected a very old thread, so you already have posts by the Forum authorities, with any additional links I could provide

Yeah, I realise bumping old threads is 'faux pas' in the forum world.. Maybe I was a little excited when I realised I might have something unique! I PM'd nesster. Let's see what he has to say..

Nah - the bump is fine. I clicked the First Unread arrow and didn't see the first posts so I sent you over a plowed field.
