Not sure if anyone noticed, but I have picked up four screwmount
lenses before and during my most recent vacation. Anyway, I just wanted to
relate the fun I had using them.
I had only carted my MZ-S and LX (2) with me on vacation. I had
also left all my screwmount lenses at home, save the Tele-Takumar. I
decided one day to leave all the K-mount lenses behind (okay I took the 77
Limited which has become my favorite lens to carry) and just use the new
screwmount lenses for a day.
Other than the hassle involved in changing lenses - and only having
one Pentax K adapter - I had a blast taking photos. I had almost forgotten
the feel of those lenses. The smooth focusing, the hefty feel. Also their
size seemed rather small.
When I get a chance I will have to post some images of the
Tele-Takumar 300/6.3 on the MZ-S. The lenses looked at home on the LX, and
really did not look out of place on the MZ-S. But then again, I don't mind
the look of the Limited on either camera.
Yes, I like Pentax and the compatability across the ages. Hey,
maybe I should look for an ultra-wide angle screwmount to use on the
upcoming digital SLR! :-)
