I would like to do it for you, but shipping from the US to Canada is expensive. I designed the baffle and can print as many as needed. The flat rate for shipping anything to Canada is 35 US Dollars. I think that is ridiculous when I can ship the same thing from Michigan to California for 7 US Dollars.

My modified 60-260 is a full frame lens. It does not vingette anymore than my Tamron 70-200. It vignettes less than my DFA 28-105. Optically the 60-250 is perfect. If they could open the baffle up and upgrade the SDM motor the lens would be a perfect 10. Modifying the 60-250 is not difficult. It requires removing six screws and using super glue.

K-1 and modified DA*60-250 @ 60mm F4 wide open.

As for the DFA*85 that is a lens we really need. An updated wide angle prime is a must. The monstrous 15-30 is just not for everyone. I would love to see something along the line of a DFA*20-35 f4 myself.
