I was thinking the same thing. There also seems to be a rash of 21mm ltds for sale.

K's are nice, but As & Ms are also FF compatible.

I imagine someone will organise something to replace it.

Good luck with the Lubitel. I've seen some very cheap and others at ridiculous prices.

Medium format is addictive as it offers considerably superior IQ to 135. I started with a Pentax 645, which is very nice, now I also have an old Zeiss folder and I have provisionally reserved a Yashica TLR...

I have for sale the above lens, in superb (mint) condition. I used this with my 645 but as I do not plan on upgrading to a 645N, there's no point in keeping the AF lens and I have downgraded to the A version. The lens is really superb and I have been extremely happy with it as my first lens in the world of medium format.

The lens is in mint condition:

It is completely unmarked
Optics are completely clear
Focus is very smooth
Aperture and "A" setting work smoothly

Virtually all the shots in the thread below were taken with this lens. I'm afraid everything I've shot with it has been scanned on my V500, so the pictures are limited in sharpness by the resolution of the scanner. Many of the shots were taken wide open.

I'll post some photos of the lens itself later, I haven't had time to upload them yet.

I'm looking for £225 posted in the UK. I will send abroad but may have to check postage costs and will only send recorded delivery, PM me with any queries. Payment by bank transfer (in the UK or Spain) is preferred.

Thanks for looking.

I like it, nice warm tones, but I would suggest it needs straightened - it's tilted to the left a little.

It's impossible to say. That far out of date, probably improperly stored... I'd say ISO 64 is as good a starting point as any. I'll be interested to see your results anyway.

Welcome. I also find using film improves my photography. You might want to set the ISO considerably lower for that film, it will be less sensitive than it was originally.
