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

All I can say is "wow".  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.
