and non-SMC plus a Takumar version.
It needs to be clarified which one this is?

tough as electric drills and it doesn't effect the
performance which is superb. Works well with a TC
The latest shot in my portfolio of the Grebe was
taken with my 300mm A* on a K20D handheld.

Otis King was one of the best link
I've got a fairly mint one.... should have sold it when they
were going for about £150

the slots link and put a piece of diffusion material over it and it's perfect.

My bank manager is glad I didn't see this one first...
I'll be interested what you think of it Algi and whether it's iconic status is justified.
K.
more than -10 correction which is the maximum
At 30mm it should be OK at f/8 and ININITY focus

The first two are really too dark for me. It's a pity there wasn't a backlight on the first one.
The fourth one shows how poor the lighting was. It's actually burning out the guitar players hand making it too noticeable.
The only other shot I don't care for is the 9th again the flat lighting is the problem.
The rest of the shots IMHO are 1st Class and I'm sure that the band could make good use of them.
I'm having problems focusing my K-5 as well some lenses need beyond -10 and visual focus seems very hit and miss.

a RED button to release the A setting on the aperture ring instead
of a BLACK one. The internal design of the two lenses is different.
They do look multi-coated, but it doesn't say SMC on the lens.
Both have metal mounts.
Still quite a decent lens and Made in Japan. One did sell on here
for about £30 a few weeks ago.
