Thanks, should have done an intro sooner. Joined, dropped out, & now back. Been mainly lurking on the site for a few years. I'm real glad I kept all of my Pentax gear from the 70's on. Only sold the 6X7 as too heavy to lug around all day & my shooting it handheld not the easiest to do. Hard to beat those big negs. It's good to be back.

Lens even wilder with the lens hood on it! Not sure who did the conversion to 42 screw mount but well executed. After I sold my FD17 (as system orphaned in 1991) around 2005, 6 months later this showed up so bid & won. It had an EOS adapter on it so I figured out it had to be a 42 SM underneath. Dry focusing with it looks good. I had it lying around for maybe 8 years so now motivated to try it out. Will have some negs back join about 2 weeks. Luckily I have a great lab 15 minutes away that doesn't scratch negs & get XP2 negs back with a scan CD within 2 days. I'll try it on my EOS 20D in the meantime but made for uncorked bodies. Stay tuned!
