OK, I get it, it's not a 28mm, so you are interested and willing to buy it. This is a rare lens, so we are all keen to see how you get it to perform.

I am loving my K lenses more and more as I get to know them individually.

bingo .. I've kept an eye out for one of these for awhile, but the timing was always poor....

My MX came home from Asahi Camera fully serviced and shiny. £145 may seem a lot but this will hopefully last my lifetime

Promaster Spectrum 7 28-210mm KAF-2 (Tamron). Extremely clean optics and works very well. Ebay. All in price with shipping and 6% PA tax on both $30.03. eBay listing photos of lens.

I’m going to pair it with my higher shutter count *1st DS as an inexpensive “Keep in the car” set.

average price on ebay is over $50. thankfully there's still people out there just trying to declutter who haven't noticed how high prices are getting now.

thrift stores and facebook marketplace still have some good deals. any place where camera gear isn't being sold by knowledgeable dealers or to the highest bidder.

A zebra and an elephant has been delivered.

Carl Zeiss 35mm F2.4 Flektogon MC Zebra M42 variant
&
Tamron Adaptall-2 200-500mm f6.9 model 06a (at 2,7kg it is my heavy weight -hence elephant- lens)

It are also my first non pk mount lenses, using adapters, so kind of a milestone.
Thx to Forum for all info on the mounts!

I tried the lens out on my *1sr DS, and image wise, it performs very well indeed. Some images are posted in the 6 megapixel club and black & white/monochrome images pages. AF was balky on the *1st DS, on my K-70, no issues. One thing for sure, it was well worth $30.

Tomorrow brings some Lomography Earl Grey and some ilford hp5. Next week, hopefully, a Paterson super system 4 tank should compete my developing kit, by which time I should have finished my Rollei rpx 100 currently in my Voigtlander Vitomatic ii, ready for the caffenol. My mate Chris Bennett has a lot to answer for!

Whoops - Good evening!
Will it harm my defence if I do not mention something which I later rely on in court?

I’ve got a couple rolls of earl grey in the fridge. Such a lovely film, but I’m waiting to use it on something interesting.
