Not the point. It was mentioned metal couldn't be sealed. I'm also having

yes it is the point. metal frames come from kits and cut pieces of some long length. i

I believe there's a build quality issue with the SMC-A 50/1.7 that
doesn't exist even with the similar A 50/2 -- I probably read about
it here, and it happened with the A 50/1.7 I owned for a while. The

Funny, I thought wood --depending on the species-- emitted gasses, acids,
resins, etc. I figure metal would be mostly inert.

You're saying you can't cut the metal
I have both the M28/3.5 and the K30/2.8. While I feel the K30 is the better

If you fix this problem, I favor a very, very small dot of JB weld (epoxy)

Ok, I will be more specific about my KEH repairs experience (which happened about a

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone would like throw in a
recommendation for a decent budget teleconverter. I would
like to use it with my smc-a f/2 50mm and try some macro
work. I know you get what you pay for and I'd like to know
what to look for in the used market say around $50-$75.
I do forget who told me about that it was a long time back, but I assure you
I did not come up with it all by my lonely.
There is a cravat though, it is subject to the hobby business tax rules.
That is if you aren't making a profit 2 out of 5 years you can only deduct
it against photo income.
I presume you are going to use this lens with bellows for macro work? You
would probably be better off just using the 50 mm and bellows. A 2x
teleconverter will turn your 50 mm lens into a 100 mm lens but it will not
be a macro and the image quality will inevitably decline. It is the flat

Thanks everyone, I think I'll wait and get the 1.4. It's not so much of
a focusing issue for me, it's being able to get a decent shot off in a
dark room without a tripod, so the 2.8 is out. Candid shots, remember?
In the meantime, I'll stick with my f/2.
