No extra glass.
So far I have these modified and working as K/M lenses.
50/1,4, 35/2, 200/4, 200/4 Macro, 400/4,5, 80-200/4 L, 35-105/3,5 85/1,2 L
Im also working on the 20/2,8 and more to come. I will do the 500/4,5 but I need to afford the lens first.
All have perfect infinity without any extra glass.
I do this because they are a joy to use. I have had modern lenses but sold almost all of them since I dont like the quality.
Today I finished the "real" design of the 50/1,4. Next step is to actually manufacture the parts and trim the design to perfection. Everything will be machined from stainless steel. Its a very interesting project and I think the olny way to really be able to enjoy a 85mm F1,2 on a Pentax.
Will be nice if Pentax finally releases a K1 FF camera. All these old great FD lenses will be even better on that FF camera..... come on Pentax/Richo.
