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. Todd At 05:18 AM 11/14/01 +1000, you wrote: >Finally, why the price difference between the mounts? The BIN is >~US$110-170 from

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. Todd At 08:03 PM 11/12/01 -0500, you wrote: >Hi Tom, > >On Mon, 12 Nov 2001 13:58:11 -0700, aim

It's a nice little lens. At $130 or whatever they are selling for now they 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

How about the Peleng 8mm ƒ3.5, does anyone have one of these? Comes standard with M42 and Nikon F mounts, others available as it is a preset T-mount lens. Made in Belarus. Designed for slightly wider Soviet film, so you don't quite get a full circle. Available on ebay, or here http://www.geoci
