Thanks for adding that Marcus! I just did a review of one of those Chinese mounts. Terrible is the word to use. I felt the lenses were going to fall off. How could they possibly make such bad mistakes in the machineing???

It would be good if you could specify the seller/marque of the one you have reviewed.

First photo I really like, then you go and chop them all up for the second photo! Wait, if I came to your house maybe I could help cleanup after you shoot still life photos?????? YUMMY

Just acquired a minty 07A 28-50mm f3.5-4.5, with case, box, user manual. It's of the same family as the 09A, 17A, 01A: very similar optical design, close focus at the longest focal length, mechanism moves the lens from the shorter focal lengths as you rotate into the close focus. I'm going to park it on the K5 for a while and see what it can do.
The other adaptall item I have recently acquired is the difficult to find 02F tele-view eyepiece adapter. It gives a focal length/20 magnification. I am going to try a bit of "digiscoping with that.

So I had a wee wander in the afternoon sun and took some pics with the 07A. Impressions: a good lens, very similar in performance to the 35-70mm's, with similarly warm rendering. Comparing the 07A to the SMC-A 50mm f1.7 on the same image, the comparison was not so unfavourable to the 07A. The SMC-A had cleaner, clearer, more natural colours and clearer contrast on eg signs, but overall resolution was not that greater on the comparison images, even wide open (07A) vs f3.5 (SMC-A).

i have the 52BB 90mm f2.5 Macro +18F ext tube, 01B 24mm f2.5 and 17A 35-70mm f3.5 plus a PK/A adapter for each. hope to expand this collection in the new year. found the Macro works well with my Teleplus Pz-AF SHQ 1.5x converter as well, giving a bit of extra working distance and keeping aperture control on camera.the 24 is the least used but hope to rectify that as from the odd occasion i have used it i found it very good. the first one i bought was the 35-70 as i needed a lens with the Infrared focus marker on as i was playing about with IR , as you will see. the extreme false colour one was courtesy of NIK Vivesa, do love that NIK collection . hope to get a converted camera at some point which makes the Adaptall series even more valuable to me as no matter what make i get all i need are some adapters and not a whole lot of new lenses to use it. any focal length in Exif is the one used to set SR .
1, 3 and 5 are 52BB 90mm Macro, 2 and 4 are 17A 35-70 f3.5, 6 is 01B 24mm f2.5 and the Chest Tombs in this shot are classified as Grade 2 Listed Buildngs
