I know it's not quite the same, but that's exactly why I bought my M-42 SMC Takumar 105mm f/2.8. This is a jewel of a lens, and no imposition to any sort of use. Small and capable.
Goes with me most places I go. Of course, I always have an M-42 to K adapter in my kit [doesn't everyone?] and it's most useful... keith whaley graywolf wrote: > > Which is why I bought your M100/2.8, Stan.
