Advice on lens and other equipment
I paid £20 for mine a year or two ago but seldom use it aside from as a walkabout lens on an ME Super on holiday last October. It was a pleasure to use around Diekirch, although not really up to the standard of the 40/2.8 and 120/2.8 pairing I carried around Speyer.
The main problem is barrel distortion at the 40mm end, although it could just be that I noticed it more there due to the fact that I was shooting buildings (where straight lines will show it more). It's sharp enough though and the macro has its uses. Some of the poor reviews complain about the handling, to be honest I've never had any complaints with the two touch design.

I have recently acquired an LX in great conditions (now being serviced) and with the camera I got a box of equipment that was used with it. I do not have use for most of it, and I would like to have your input on whether they have any value please. And if anyone is interested, please just let me know:
Pentax M 40-80 2.8-4 zoom. I know it is not a stellar performer.
Asahi Pentax 67mm L39(UV) SMC Filter
Asahi Pentax SMC Close-up lens S40
Plus a whole bunch of Hoya HMC UV filters in various sizes, step up rings, 49mm reverse adapter and 6 Filtek filters.
Thanks!
