You are not cured, just in remission. At some time in the future it'll resurface and persuade you to take your wallet shopping again. Trust me, I know. Mannesty wrote:

Impressive line-up of lenses, but . . ., wait a minute . . ., I don't see an FA 135mm 1:2.8 in your list. Can you feel the urge? See, It's coming back .... and as it happens, I have one for sale.

I think you refer to "Debug mode " Stefan, and I wouldn't try it. But if it works, can you get me a copy of the Maclaren F1 firmware, I want to try it in my Citroen C4.

I agree with John. I had a 'budget' Takumar-A 70-200 1:4 zoom for many years which lived on my Super-A. Cracking lens.

Stop it John, what are trying to do, convince me to keep it? It wouldn't take much persuasion I can tell you. One my best loved lenses and totally awesome.
My swingometer is going from keep it, to sell it, to keep it, to sell it every few minutes.

With 18cm it would be 1:5,31 with 18,5cm it would be 1:5,53 sadly not much macro but close enough
24mm you only need a small extension tube or reverse mount it and you can get very close.
Should this be measured from the film/sensor plane?With 18cm it would be 1:5,31 with 18,5cm it would be 1:5,53 sadly not much macro but close enough
24mm you only need a small extension tube or reverse mount it and you can get very close.

The GX20 and K20D internals are identical. Outwardly they have only cosmetic differences E.G. button shapes. Firmware is entirely different between models.
