I can get an A* 300 f4 lens in excellent condition. The guy is asking +-

The 2 things you have to remember are that both the aperture and focal

are a bargain. When it comes to superwides it blows the Vivitar 19mm away
with better color, contrast, and flare resistance. The lens construction
seems solid, but the aperture ring on mine turns about 1/2 stop past F22
Keep in mind that's .3m from the film plane, which makes about 6-8 from
the front element seem right. At F22 and minimum focus distance something
about 2 from the front element should be in focus.

Hi Tom,

The mounts for the Peleng are M42 and Nikon F only. What the other mounts
are is seller throwing in a M42-EOS adaptor, M42-K adaptor, etc. and that
raises the price.

Great to read your good news glad our cops aren't as crooked as yours seem to
be.

If you are interested, I'm selling mine. I was going to list it on ebay
soon. I was hoping to get $300.00 + shipping. W/box and all
accessories, and most couldn't tell it from new.
