Just wanted to pop in and relate my PF Marketplace experience with Hinman...
I bought the Asahi Takumar S-M-C 28/3.5 posted in this thread and it was exactly as described -- Minty with pristine optics and cosmetics. Came with original caps and case along with the hard to find original metal hood w/ case. It is absolutely beautiful and delivers stunning images on par with the venerable K28/3.5 (I have one and while I love the lens, I just despise the Stop-down metering / Green button gyrations. Love M42 and Auto/Manual and presets!) Anyhow -- the transaction was easy and smooth with Hinman accommodating a slight delay in payment. He provided excellent communication and prompt shipping, with the lens very well packaged for secure transit. A model transaction, beginning to end! I would not hesitate buying from Hinman again!!
