Just ordered a AF 540 FGZ

Just ordered 6 e-mount adapters for my newly acquired Nex5N. The wait is soooooo painful.

- M42 -> eMount
- PK -> eMount
- Leica M39 -> eMount
- C/Y -> eMount
- Nikon -> eMount
- OM -> eMount

Talking adaptors - anyone familiar with one for this lens?

Novoflex Noflexar 600mm F8 - a friend brought it around and sold it to me - unfortunately it is in Nikon Mount - I have started to sort out the cost of a Pentax mount to swap out the interchangaeable Nikon - has some reasonable reviews on the web but better not point it at a government building.

At the worst it will work with a Nikon to Pentax adaptor with the optic in it... would rather have the OEM adaptor though.

Last week I bought a Nikkor 35/1.4G for my D800E and it hasn't been off the camera since.

Amazing shots, bossa. The 1st one is sublime.

D800 .. but I don't have a lens for it yet ! I have put a deposit on an immaculate used Sigma 500/4.5 though so I'll get that next week

I think in most countries around the world that is likely to get you shot

Whew!, It's hard to keep up with all the great new (or newly purchased) stuff on this thread.
Here's my latest, a Pentax A 135mm f/2.8. Somewhat hard to find and prices have gone up, I was thinking about $150-$200... boy, was I wrong. Ended up paying $260 all up. But it's in fine condition and works perfectly. It does generate the straight-edged hexagonal highlights at some apertures but otherwise the bokeh is light and airy. Nice bright but not garish color rendition, very accurate and true-to-life. So far, fits my needs for a small, fast short-tele prime.
Here's a link to my thread on the Lens Sample Archive, with other photos and a 100% crop;

Shipment from BHPhotoVideo.com came!

Just received the K24/3.5 via DHL, shipped from India. I took a chance and bid the lens knowing I'm gambling since the seller didn't post a lot of pictures of the lens. Lens came and the exterior is pretty ugly but the glasses seem fine. Few test shots confirm everything is fine. I like the colours redering of this lens, a typical from K series.

You'll enjoy the grip. I'm interested in the 540 as well but am waiting because I am hoping that Photokina will bring an annoucement for a new Pentax flash.
