It's hard to find a sense of scale. My first thought when I looked at it was that a mammoth had passed by recently, or that possibly you were involved in a re-enactment of Hannibal crossing the Alps.

Second one works a treat for me, I really like it but I do have a soft spot for B&W. The first one appears a bit plain, just does'nt have the same impact in colour as B&W.

Well Hefty what can I say but a heart felt thanks, all I ever needed to know about M42 manual 50mm lenses, unfortunately you've mudded the waters as now I've got to go searching for the said lenses as described above, doh.

Regards

Thanks Hefty for your informative and detailed explanation. Zeiss it is then, I've always been one for going down a different path.

One question though: how do I use AV with this lens, does it have a manual/auto button which needs to be switched or can it just be swithched to AV on the body. I have seen this magic button before on the older lenses but I don't understand what it does.

Regards

Hi Mike

Price is £60, I do know some Pancolars are highly regarded but I'm unsure if this is one of them.

Hi All

I'm on the hunt for a manual 50mm and I came across the above on fleabay but how does this lens compare with the Pentax M f1.7 and is it worth the extra premium?

Regards

My wife informs me this is an urban myth started by a man with a very small winky and she assures me size does matter. Technology it is for me then.

Taken at RAF Cosford with all settings on Auto as I had no idea how to use it.

Love number 2 great sense of speed and action, unfortunately the last two Escorts look a bit frozen for me.
