Re: Zeiss 28mm f2 in k mount
Just in case it would be usefull to somebody. In response to Boris and Derby's discussion about the store selling Zeiss lense in K mount, - I found a couple of such stores. http://shashinki.com/shop/carl-zeiss-planar-85mm-pentaz-mount-free-worldwide-shipping-p-877.html http://harrysproshop.com/zk/zk.html I have no idea about their reputation. Someone here may comment on that (I think I saw some Canadians mentioning the latter one). However, the prices are similar to those by matsuiyastore on e-bay. It is the second time I am looking at Planar T* 85/1.4, but I don't think I can justify its purchase with its current price.

Hmmm. Looks very cool. But SMCP FA 31/1.8 AL Ltd is a bit faster and just a tad less wide... I somehow think that prices will be comparable... Cheers.

I recall an ebay seller in Japan had some ZK lenses a little while ago, but they don't seem to be listing anything at the moment. Oh well. And we think Pentax have distribution issues.

Twas the greed that consumed me (there's a bit of pirate talk) http://newsdesigner.com/blog/images/pirate.jpg I found the ebay trader. Remembered I bought the cute little Rolleiflex Minidig from them a while ago. They do have the 85/1.4 zeiss...but I think I'll stick with my 77 and 31 for now. http://stores.ebay.com/Matsuiyastore_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZ3629112QQftidZ2QQtZkm D -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.iinet.net.au/~derbyc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: Zeiss 28mm f2 in k mount
Yes, I am aware of existence of that store. It appears to have some valuable items but the prices are usually somewhat higher than I would expect. Yet again, having all three limited lenses reduced my appetite somewhat. For instance, I am still pondering about a lens wider than 31 Ltd, but each time I look at the examples I realize that 31 Ltd has good chances of becoming my widest prime lens... Cheers!

Re: Zeiss 28mm f2 in k mount
I notice that it has a floating design. Makes it a good match for the water-resistant K10D... stan On Sep 19, 2007, at 3:48 AM, Boris Liberman wrote: Hmmm. Looks very cool.
