That's one really good lens on its way out. May I ask why?

Later: Ok, I see the discussion about the 77 Limited in another thread. I love the look of your images from the 77mm, but I still like my tiny 70mm on my K-01.

it was due to the 77 Limited - the 70 Limited is good, but I've found that the 77 is sharper, faster, and I like the colors from it better....

Dave, are you recovering from your obsession with 24mm, but lapsing into 28mm? What 24s and 28s do you have at the moment?

My 24s in order of preference are Konica Hexanon, Vivitar (Cosina), Takumar, with a special affection for my Adaptall 24-48.

My 28s are all too good to rank: Adaptall 2, Pentax M, Hexanon, Olympus OM.I don't have a Takumar 28mm.

good evening, Gary....

my 24mm addiction is running well and true, thank you - I'm expecting delivery of an SMC A 24/2.8 in the next day or so....

as far as 24's are concerned, my inventory:

VIvitar 24/2 (currently for sale in the Marketplace)

Tamron Adaptall-2 01BB (24/2.5)

Olympus H.Zuiko Auto-W 24/2.8

SMC 24/2.8

S-M-C Takumar 24/3.5

and since it's mighty close - Zeiss Distagon 25/2.8

but I only have two 28mm lenses right now, and not likely to buy any more:

SMC A 28/2.8

Pentacon Prakticar MC 28/2.8

so - you see that my 24 vs 28 obsession is far from cured....

(:

Not sure which 24mm I covet more, the Pentax A or the Olympus.

Thanks for keeping us updated on your 24mm addiction

it runs hand-in-hand with my 35/55/58mm addictions...

Vivitar 24/2 is gone.....

(a small aside on this lens - it just completed an extensive tour of North America.... I had both this lens and the Vivitar 28/2 for sale in the same ad... I had a person interested in the 28/2, we came to terms, and I shipped it off....

except: I sent the wrong lens - the 24/2 got shipped to Canada...

thankfully, he caught the error on his end and shipped the 24/2 back, on his own dime, and without getting the 28/2 first....)

A Panasonic 20mm given to another forum member. Great lens, but I like the 15mm (30mm FL equivalent) better.

The Battery Pack A (for Motor Drive A) which I’d listed on PF Marketplace and eBay finally sold on eBay.

Well I did pay my school taxes yesterday. Could have gotten a K3-III instead, but wife thinks that keeping our house is more important.

She might just have a point, there.
