I think it's an interesting idea. Why don't you start anew thread with the first picture,

Awesome!

Thanks for putting up the A-50 1.7 for this little experiment!

Let's find some odd lenses...

I have a Beck 135 / 2.8 that had no buyers on Ebay last week. It is actually, from what I can tell, a very decent lens. But what do I know? I would be willing to ship that puppy out to someone for a field test. Pass it around. Who wants to give it a try?

HouseOfHorla · 11-21-2008, 03:02 PM

What a great idea! I'd be willing to enter into the spirit of this.

I have a spare SMC Pentax-M 50mm F2 if it's of any interest to anyone.

Add us to the receivers list as well please.

figmental1978 · 11-21-2008, 03:58 PM

I think we should just have the one lens and see how it goes, having multiple lenses racing around the world may get a little confusing. Mike's put up his Pentax A 50 1.7 so lets use it with Pentax bodies and what we can do with it. Maybe Pentax would be interested in this, who knows.

Each person takes a few photos, posts the best one on a dedicated thread, add some details and pass it on to the next person. These types of ideas can get out of hand so lets keep it simple and it should work.
