Hi!
Years ago I bought Zenitar K 16/2,8 - It`s made in Russia
and I am very
happy with it. And it's cheap too - only
1100 EEK ( 1 $ = 10 EEK when I purchased it ).

Last year I heard some rumours about russian people who sell
it in internet (~$150).

Yes, I do with the SMC 15/3.5. It is the only lens I have which can be

I do, but I don't set the "exact" hyperfocal distance according to the lens
scale. I tend to keep 1-2 stops in reserve if possible (eg if my desired
coverage fits within the f/5.6 marks I'll set to f/8 o

I've heard that's not a bad lens.
If you are on a tight budget I can suggest the Tokina SL 17mm f/3.5. It's not
a spectacular lens but is very
SMC-M/A 15/3.5, only if you can find one in EX+ condition and at reasonable

Does anyone *regularly* use hyperfocussing with their wide angle lenses?

Many of us have been pleased with, and recommend, the Russian-made
Zenitar 16mm. f2.8 fisheye (available in M42, Pentax K, or Nikon mount).
It is sharp, solid, and inexpensive.
Some users report that recent batches have had coating problems, so buy
one with a warranty from a place you can return

Dear all,
I always bring along with my Pentax FA20/f2.8 for taking landscape
photographs. I satified with the results very much. Now, I would like to
