I know there are a lot of new(ish) K-01 owners out there - believe me, this is the business for going light with the XS40mm!!!!

Er....bump

Agree with Smeggy. Might go a bit further with the crop and make sure the contrast sticks out - wasn't immediately obvious to me as I was staring at the trees in the distance first. I also think that a mono conversion should be tried - play around with the colour mix to find something that emphasises shape (you would of course lose the colour tones!)

Cheers

This is the 7 element version, which also has contacts for aperture (not AF). In very good condition. £30 including UK delivery.

Here's a link to a method for converting your M lens into an A lens: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thoog/8087152582/in/set-72157631675113937/

Works like a dream and when you add focus peaking all of a sudden those old hard-work primes become so much easier!

Cheers

Extra bonus!! Unlock the hidden secret in the K-01 if you buy this lens!!!

(Only kidding - let me dig it out and post on a separate thread.)

This is an excellent example of this lens. Minimal dust, functioning properly with a small amount of cosmetic wear on the lettering. Non-original caps. Looking for £45 delivered UK. As always with my sales, full refund if not as described.

The K-01 had a rather useful fault which gave pseudo-A mode on M lenses. That plus the focus peaking meant I was happy to use these lenses. Alas, the K-5 offers neither and so I am selling this very nice Hoya 300m manual aperture/focus lens. Lovely metal and not much in the way of dust. A bargain at £25 UK delivered! The photos taken with the lens were RAW with just standard conversion and tweaking in LR.
