The 77mm was based on the 85mm. There is a very good PDF file by the lens designer (Jun Hirakawa) about the design of the LTD lenses. Sorry I haven't the link handy.

Edit: Found it link
Set of 10 pages English pages towards the back.

A lot of Limiteds are assembled in Vietnam along with most of the other lenses.

Amazing shot considering the poor light and high ISO used
Pity you couldn't get him to smile

Doesn't your FE2 take the same batteries? You can use Alkaline or Silver but the Silver ones last a lot longer.

Nice one Matt.... I like Black Cameras used to have two Black Spotmatics from new until I traded them in for a K2 and some lenses when they came out.

If they ever invent a time machine and your able to travel back to 1977 you should be well set up

A PENTAX SMC 35mm F3.5 went for £122 a few days ago very surprised that anyone would pay that much for a slow 35mm link

If it's on a K-7 try to avoid shutter speeds around 1/100th sec.
Use 1/60th with SR on or try 1/250th with SR on and off.

The K-7 suffers from shutter-induced blur around 1/100th sec.
Surprised no one else has mentioned this. See this

The easiest thing to do is set up a Google Group to discuss anything you want behind closed doors it only takes a few minutes. You would probably need email addy's to send out invites.

Sorry to hear about this. You need to inform the BJP and AP about it. Also have a look at the "Talk Photography Forum" they have quite a few threads about this.

The Police don't even have the right to look at the photos from what I understand. Formatting the card is certainly OTT and might be seen as destroying evidence which could get them in all sorts of trouble.

Best of luck in getting a settlement that will make you happier about the treatment you received.
