For 7 Days only I'll throw in free insured post to Europe
apart from Italy which I'm told is too risky... sorry!

Quite impossible I'm afraid depending on the exposure
you give you can make it look like daylight or midnight

Aren't CPC owned by Pentax?

The Ricoh 200mm is made by Pentax... it's the same as the
M series.

I don't think so.... the O possibly indicates something
beginning with O..... I've seen it before possibly on a
Vivitar lens.

It's very sharp... this was just a test on my way to
beer shop

No PP and no sharpening jpeg straight off camera (K-5)
I didn't use RAW. The RS is as good as the centre the
LS is just slightly worse. 100ISO f/8 SR ON




And a quick bokeh test wide open at f/1.9...
certainly sharp.... No PP

Some more from the f1.9 ...... reminds me of the Pentax FA77mm
but costs less than £20 Good build quality as well

Must go and dig out my copy

Edit: Just dug out my copy, really smooth focus.
The focus mark on the DOF scale is a very narrow
0 ..... one of the lens makers uses that as trade
mark.... does anyone know who it is?

The 28mm and 35mm I've got don't have it. The 55mm
f/1.4 lenses usually have a red diamond.

You can see the mark on this photo

That's very nice and the watch looks interesting.

Another very good lens that can be picked up for buttons
is the Chinon 50mm f/1.9..... It gives me the impression
that it's an old design? Very nice bokeh

I meant the F2 ..... I have never seen one
Vivitar do a 28mm F2 .... so did Pentax.... expensive!

A top lens specialist may be able to fix it, but it won't be cheap.

The 55mm f/1.4 and f/1.2 are really excellent lenses with
really nice bokeh.

The 50mm's are OK in terms of sharpness but being newer
designs the bokeh isn't as good as the older stuff.

What's a Chonon 28mm F2 ? Is that f/2.8 ?

It's just being polite.... they usually just run
java script without asking.... I use Noscript on
Firefox and keep getting told off by spyware that
I have disabled Java and I shouldn't have

Note Adblock won't stop any sites running
nasty Java scripts. Only allow trusted sites
to run it

Edit:

Ha! Ha! Just tried the Norton site that Richard gave
a link to and I get:
