Hi Mike I'm sure that you will love the results. It may be a bit hard (dark) to focus the macro lens on a DSLR. I love some other Takumar M42 lenses as well, mainly the 35mm 3.5 and the 85 mm 1.8. Today I really missed a wide fixed lens on the K10D, reminds me that I have to test the Tamron SP 17mm 3.5 soon :-) greetings Markus

This is my first Takumar, and I'm simply amazed at the build quality of this lens. It (and the extension tubes) are in like new condition. Nary a scratch on the body or glass. Even the cases are in like new condition! I've sold my Sigma 70-300 zoom to pay for this, and I am infinitely happy that I did. I was never happy with that lens - the zoom ring was too stiff, the auto focus was noisy and couldn't focus very well, and the manual focus was too loose. All I can do now is wait for the screwmount adapter to arrive from Mr. Celio! I can't wait. -- Cheers, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MichaelHamilton.ca -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
