The majority really are missing out shooting only digital.
I've used the 17-28 FE quite a lot recently but I should use the K 17mm on a body and put it to work.

Designed for six 'C" size dry cells, typically alkaline, the bulk of the housing is for the batteries.
The oscillator is under the cover on the opposite side of the on/off switch. I bought my TR power pack back in 1988 and it's worked well since.
The reverse side of the pcb - cover removed. The yellow item is the step-up transformer.

The component side of the pcb showing the step=up transformer and the two TO3 power transistors in cast metal heat sinks as they get warm in operation.

Back in it's case.

The plug on the TR pack that plugs into the back of the flash gun has three female connectors. Two are for the high voltage from the oscillator that goes to the capacitor in the flash gun and the third is the feed back connection that lights up the neon "ready" indicator on the TR power pack.

Has this lens just got a plain barrel? Does it have any lettering, aperture, distance scale etc. It doesn't look to from the photos?--
