I'm going to add what is probably a surprise to most..the 17-70 is still by far my most frequently used lens, very underrated IMHO

I see why they call it God's own country now. Each one's a beauty. No 2s the one for me.
Nice shots, Shaun!

I was thinking about my Super Tak M42 lens.

Well, we go on about how cheap they are but I didn't get any decent results until I invested in a Katzeye split-prism focusing screen. Before that, focusing with manual glass was too difficult and yielded poor results.
An M50/1.7 in good condition might go for 30 quid but a Katzeye will set you back another hundred or so.

Thanks for looking.

My K55mm f1.8 cost 25 euros plus postage. I really splashed out on a mint K28mm f3.5, mind you, at 100 euros, but it is a complete bargain even at that heady price.
I love them.

I have a K28 which is absolutely superb optically and is available for 100 euros and under. Have never compared it to a 31 as I've never had one but I think I'd rather save my dosh for something else.
