Lorin There are quite a few screw mount telephotolenses (M42) at ebay these days. The brilliant bird photographs in the add was made with this 400mm on a Canon D30: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4687&item=3822995923& rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW IMHO it's a beautiful lens (Takumar like design).
It has a buy-it-now price of 150 USD - but it has been listed three times (at least) without any bids - so you'll most likely get it if you bid 99.99 USD! If I had a Spotmatic I would hav bought it a week ago. Cheers Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: J. C.

Long focus M42 lenses are rare in that length. jco -----Original Message----- From: Lorin Mackey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 10:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Long Focus Lens for Spotmatic Gentlemen, I'm looking for a 200 or 300mm long focus lens for my Spotmatic SP. Is there any other designation for the coupling other than "screw-thread" ? Thank you Lorin
