I still have to talk to an insurance company.
Thank you very much for your fast reply, though. To be honest, and due to quite a herrand life, I donīt have an ISP email account, and that means I can not use the dpreview forum.
Please find attached some very quick and dirty photos comparing the 43 to the 50. As you might see, the focus is locked around .45 and .8 on the 43ltd. And the barrel has almost come off.
I hope it does have a good solution.

well, it has disassemblied itself.
I was trying to manual focus it, and the metal barrel has started to come off from it. Iīm waiting for an agreement between the Spanish repair shop and American insurance company, as it is a gift bought in NY [and marked as that, gift].
Anyone has any experience with "limited" repairs? I know they are manually assemblied, but does this make them more difficult to be repaired?
I do remember the aussie Lance having the same lens. Not the same problem, though.
Cheers!

I know it does seem to be an oxymoron, but that is just what I need, for Architectural Model photography.
Thing is, I know that baccalaurate physics will tell you the 50 equiv. lens will give you the eye perspective, which happens not to be so much true. The organ that sees is the brain, not the eye; and the brain does usually play tricks on us [which is the reason why we do have peripheral vision, and the reason we tend to see spaces in wide angle instead of the 50mm version].
Iīm looking for a wide angle [circa 14mm] lens suitable for the KAF2 mount, which has close focusing capabilities. Now, even if they do not exist on other mounts, I can precisely recall the existence of one Pentax DA lens which can focus as close as 5cm, even if the lens doesnīt say so. I know, I know that it looks surreal, but it does exist. I donīt know if it is the DA14 F2.8, DA 12-20 or the DA 16-45 F4 the one which does that. Any clues?
I wouldnīt care about having any other type of K mount, brand, or nationality [be it Zeiss, Jena, Zenithar, Industar, Helios, Jupiter, Kiev, Cosina-Voightlander, Tamron, Kiron, Sigma, Vivitar, Komine] or M42 lens.
I do recall seeing a comment about this -think Mike Johnston said it-, but I donīt know where and which lens was.
Thank you on beforehand to yīall.
[my bloody first post, this is].
