Hi Frank,
Thanks for looking and commenting!
The sky on the last shot is actually a bank of fog coming against me.
The scene was back-lit, but not by a sunset. I think the paleness is
quite accurate, but I agree with you; it would have been a more
classic shot with sunset-ish

Hi gang,
What would you consider to be a fair price for a Pentax SMC 500/4.5?
I traced one down in Australia for AUD 1800. That's a bit far off, considering
the weight of the thing, but is that price within ballpark range?
thanks,
Jostein

stuff hangs around.
FWIW, the SMCT 500/4.5 is identical except for the mount and may be founf
much cheaper. It's up to you to decide how much it is worth to avoid using
the M42 - K adapter.

I have the SMC 500/4.5 K mount version of the SMC Takumar 500/4.5, and I'm

Hi all,
there was a thread on Photo.net a little while ago and also here (I
think) about the possibilty of adapting a 500/4.5 to medium format. The
removable mount tube has made it relatively easy to convert to other 35mm
mounts, so the idea of making a MF mount seems obvious. In comparison
Is the mount part (a few inches long) of the Takumar 4.5 or Pentax
500/4.5 still available?
Is it the same as the mount tube found on the Takumar (or Pentax) 1000/8?

Andre,
I removed the 'mount tube' from my Takumar 500/4.5 (bayonet), and
measured it to be approximately 4.45 cm. I don't own the 100/8, but if
anyone is willing to send me one, I'd be GLAD to measure its 'mount tube'.

The problem was that there was no access to that; the lens itself wouldn't

Is there much of a difference in price between K mount and screw? I'm
*pretty* sure that
it had a rubber focusing ring, so perhaps that means K mount.
I've only ever seen the screw mount
Is it M42 or K-mount?
Its a manual lens either way. Good lens even by today's standards. However
the 4 optical elements give it a long minimum focus distance. Longer than a
current lens like the AF Sigma 500/4.5 for instance that has more elements.
These things tend to go for around $700-800
