This is a single owner 2.8D Planar that I recently purchased from a local gent selling on behalf of his recently passed Godfather. One of those rare positive experiences with local classifieds. Spent half an hour chatting to the seller about Frank Hurley's visits to Antarctica and PNG, and the general fantasticness of screwmount Pentax's, before settling on a price that left everyone happy.

The camera had obviously been well used and well cared for, but likely sitting in a cupboard for the last 20 years. I ran a test roll through to make sure everything was working (surprisingly it was) and then sent it away to Mr Vic Plant for a thorough clean and service. It's once again working like a finely tuned German TLR

Lovely.

And a lovely portrait of it as well Nick - I am guessing a LTD lens, no?

Gotcha. No, for some reason my GAS hasn’t extended to the Limited series (yet)...

Ahh - would have been a LTD if they had thought of the classification then - very nice

E-PM1 and a Rokkor-PF 58/1.4 | The lens is bigger than the body

Yikes! I own a copy of the MC Rokkor 58/1.4 PF and while it is a formidable hunk of optical craft, mounting to the Oly makes it look HUGE!

Indeed - to be fair, the adapter is almost as long as the lens. But yes, the lens is "big", a true beauty.

Ok now, this is very impractical, but it was fun... takes the whole portability out of the equation...

The lens is a Vivitar (kino) 75-205/3.8 with Close focusing... the lens is a good performer actually.

You mean it is not a discreet rig with a 500mm lens?

Thanks,

Now, put that on a Q ...
