I have one of those, made in 1994 according to the serial number. It looks very nice and is easy to use attached to my recently-acquired LUMIX S5, so I may take it with me, along with my Pentax K 50/1.2, on a forthcoming trip for times when I need something smaller and faster than the honking great big 24-105/4 that will be most used. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b7BGx6yzaOkyrvsk5kbkcnJA > > […] > > Too much equipment, not enough time and energy ...
