Thanks Paul.
I got told by a different source that it can be used on a 645 or 67 camera
(not sure which one), with an adapter that was sold for them a long, long,
long time ago. I also got told it is a very sharp lens.
It is way too big and bulky for what I'd considered using it for, and
happily passed it up.
I missed out on a 17mm Pentax M(?) fisheye for $120 today as well. I saw
the for sale sign on the shelf at one of the camera shops and it had
already been sold. It was still there, so I got a look at it. It didn't
unduly worry me that it had been sold, I need a new printer more than a
fisheye lens. A friend picked up a mint M 300/4 for about $150 yesterday
and had the bragging rights today. I offered him $200 for it but he said
nononono it has red backs in it, fungus, rabies, and it bites. LOL
It seems that every Pentaxite in Perth is busily selling off stuff at
present, seemingly to fund the purchase of an MZ-S. I need one for
photographing horse racing. The far right AF point has sold me on the
camera. I just have to save up the readies.
To top off my day our dog had an attack of something. He was either
poisoned or bitten/stung by something at it looked really bad. A visit to
the vet, a stay of a couple of hours and he was allowed to come home a new
dog. I'll make a couple of offerings to the dog dieties tonight and hope
he's fully recovered in the morning.
Enough rambling
Cheers
