Super images. I like 1 for it's quirkiness, but many others are great too.

I'm not certain I'd pay the more usual going rate for one. I was lucky as the seller didn't realise that the lens on the front of the MV-1 he was selling was worth quite a bit more than the body. It wasn't that much of a bargain as a few of us were bidding for it, but I think it ended-up being about £135. My favoured trio of lenses (when shooting film) is the K30/2.8, the K50/1.2 and the K135/2.5. If I know I'm going to be photographing buildings I'll throw in the K28/3.5 shift too.

What makes me chuckle is spending a fortune on a FA 31mm Ltd and then turning the images into something that looks like it was taken in about 1890.... Go figure.

I have a few images taken with the K series version of this lens, some on film, some on digital:

Of course, being a K-series lens the EXIF doesn't record the aperture.

Thanks all. I was expecting a more negative reaction, so it is nice to see others quite like it too.

Cheers, Kris.

My, what large eyes you have...

Beautifully sharp where it matters.

According to wikipedia he is buried in the Hollywood Cemetery, Virginia.

I don't normally go for the extreme effects in software, but I did quite like this one when I was bored and playing with an image.

No, Electrolux sucks. One tag-line that didn't cross the Atlantic too successfully.
