"As far as I remember, something like this:

will work - but I'm not entirely sure if this is a true UV light."

That's the sort I found at our local hardware store. Works fine. Just use in regular desk lamp, leave on for several days to a week.

My CZJ Biometar 80mm F2.8 P6 has very slight yellowing. Didn't notice until it was mentioned in some forum.

Hi thoramay. Lightroom is a little different to use initially but well worth some study. I suggest looking at various tutorials online. Its a great programme once you understand what workflow to use. Just google Lightroom tutorials.

Thats a crazy price If it sells for that price, I will run naked over the Harbour Bridge and back again.

Edit: I just noticed you have one also, Where did you get it and what did you pay for it, if you don't mind me asking. cheers

I bought my 30mm in 1978? at Singapore. Didn't know it was rare until I got into digital slr photography several years ago. Like new.
My other Pentax lens (bought as kit lens with KM film camera)is a SMC 55mm F1.8. It was used lots but well looked after. Also still like new.
cheers

Cheapest of all for new condition lens is the MIR 1B 37mm F2.8 (M42 screw mount). Lots available on Ebay. Impressive lens I think.

I have three M42 adaptors. An original Pentax which is the best but expensive; a Chinese sourced similar design from which I unscrewed the metal clips to be on the safe side. It's a lot cheaper and works fine. A third and cheapest adaptor is the type with a wide flange. I usually leave this on a Helios 44M used for wild flower photos where lack of infinity focus is not an issue. Handy if interchanging the Helios with K mount lenses.

I have started using Lightroom 2.5. Much more stable than Elements 7 (Organiser). Still use editor in Elements sometimes but generally not needed.
