It deffo makes using nice old lenses more enjoyable when you have less than perfect eyesight...

Will the price of K5 bodies go down with the release of the new 'Knock-Out-One'?

I'm kinda hoping so...

Will the price of lenses go up? (both new and on the secondhand market)

I'm hoping not...

You're gonna have some fun with that Bob... If I hadn't spent up this month I'd've made a similar offer...
That F50 would look great permenantly attached to my MZ-7... I have to swap the FA50 about for use with the K-x at the moment...

I could go down the route of fitting an adapter to each, but at about £60 a throw its not a cheap option for MF lenses
Maybe just buy one adapter and make your lenses share...

Do the adapters allow for infinity focus?

Of the ones I own: FA50-1.4 (but I am using the FA28 more at the moment... A close call...)

Of images I've seen recently... DA*55-1.4 (some stuff I've recently seen from this lens is truly stunning!!) Followed by DA21-Ltd... (these are deffo on my 'want-list'...)

I'm getting sick of having to remove my Hoods (metal screw in type) to replace the lens cap on the lenses, for transport...

I know many will say "why bother with a cap if using a hood?" and the simple answer is "It makes me feel better"...

The hood on my FA50 would take a 58mm cap
The hood on the FA28 is wider, (the cap on my Tamron is 67mm and too small)

Do any of you bother to 'cap your hoods'?
