Hi All,

For sale an incomplete LX FA-1 veiwfinder (no screws or diopter adjusting mechanism), the prism has slight marks on the the eyepiece & focusing screen faces. The hotshoe is present but has some corrosion. The top cover is in average condition.

£15 with UK postage, preferably bank transfer, but also Paypal with fees or cleared cheque.

John.

I've still got my spare one, although I paid £100+ for it and I'm not sure what I'll do with it. Seeing the AF drive the split-image to 'spot-on' focus is interesting but not something you'd want to endure on a regular basis.

Shot with a K-5 and Sigma 70-300 APO Super f/4-5.6 (from my film days circa 2001 I think). This was shot at 260mm (135 format) according to the EXIF, and I have to say I don't think there's a lot wrong with it (the lens at least).

Thanks for the judging John.

I was going to 'mono-ise' my shot, that's when I realised it was a bit weak (it didn't make much difference). Agree with your point about the blue thing growing out of the top, but it was the best shot I had for the last fortnightly competition.

Nikon repeatedly said they wouldn't make an FF camera!

Hi Frogfish,

Thanks for this comparison. I find it interesting how well the Tamron mirror holds it's own for it's price.

Somewhere there's a link to the boss of Pentax saying they'd need some new lenses for an FF. I take his point, apart from half a dozen FA & DFA's, there's not much selection (apart from 20+ million existing lenses!).
