Has anyone got a couple of spare rear lens caps for sale? I've just bought two lenses, both of which are missing the rear caps.

Thsnks everyone I will probably continue using DSCL for most prints and use Loxley for metal and canvas. Means a high price for the customer though.

I'll start looking for the 135mm f2.5.......
Today I found a mint Helios f2 44m, which is for £3, in a charity shop in Bolton, attached to and including a fully functional Zenit E, so it will be interesting to see how that lens performs. At 58mm it sits nicely between my 50mm and the Tamron 90mm. I doubt I will use the camera though, it's a hefty beast.

Sorted, thanks sorted78!

I've sent you a PM, Percy, I'll take that off your hands too if it's still available!

Thanks, Ken, I will try out a few prints for myself and if they are as good as they sound I will get all my printing done by them.

Thanks John and gwing, I will look for the a 35mm f2 and 135mm f2.5. I actually have a Tamron adaptall 90mm f2.5, I have not really used it much, and mainly for macro, so I will give it a proper try out in low light. I am in the UK for 2 weeks so am trying to get some lenses while here. I have already bought two just for IR, now just need a couple more fast primes for the K5.

I was wondering if anyone can give me some info/advice on which M or K primes, preferably cheap, are sharp wide open, with an aperture of F2.8 or less? I need some for an ongoing low-light project. I have a 50mm f1.4 which is pretty good at f2 and a 24mm f2.8, but would like a 28mm, a 35mm, somewhere around 70- 80mm, and a 135mm with a wider aperture than the f3.5 I have.

Thanks, Ken, I will give them a try, they certainly seem to get good reviews.
