Hi Guys,
A lovely little 40mmf2.8 M lens has fallen to my auctionitus
It seems to be made for my K100D
Will take a while to get used to playing to its strengths as with any lens.
A very pleasant process !
Will start with focus

no pp apart from sepia button in FastStone
1/45 f5.6 iso 800

Hi,
It dose not look sharp to me, but you could have lossed sharpness when resizing for the forum.

I've been after one of those to go with my MX but have never won an auction yet. I guess I don't want it "enough"

Have fun with it. K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

It'll go for a lot more than that Clarky.

Unless things are different in Oz the MX/40mm combo seems a very desirable combination and bidders go mad for them.

I believe you are right, and will watch it out of curiosity, or grab it myself if the price is right.

Had a lot of fun at the Omaka aviation museum.
Very low light so was on iso 800 1/10 f4 most of the time
I am so impressed with this tiny lens. Particularly like the field of view

just compared the downsized with original...I seem to be munting the sharpness still.
Do people upload whole image to flickr and let it downsize it or do it first in their editing prog ?

It was really dark in there
I was amazed how good nearly all the iso 800 1/10sec pics are.
The low level of noise and the depth of detail has me in awe of this sensor and the SR

Thought I would try uploading the unresized image
