Thanks everyone.

It is extremely curvy even without the fisheye! I'm awaiting a batch of film to come back from the developer with more photos.

Very nice lens it is too. I loved the M-series version but wanted the convenience of the A-series for my digital camera.

Didn't I buy this lens from you?

The Van Ness-Parsons tomb in Green Wood cemetery, Brooklyn is a curious mixture of Egyptian and Christian iconography.

According to Douglas Keister this is an adoring sphinx gazing upon Jochebed holding her son Moses, These statues are outside the Van Ness-Parsons mausoleum in Green Wood cemetery, Brooklyn, New York.

Again, according to Douglas Keister this maternal figure may be a representation of Pharaoh’s daughter finding Moses in the bulrushes, in Egypt. This is to one side of the Van Ness-Parsons mausoleum, Green Wood cemetery, Brooklyn, New York.

Thanks Nigel. I have managed to get the tripod collar to move now, but not the "camera position shift". I'll try the WD40 tomorrow.

Best wishes, Kris.

Thanks. I'll try a gentle drop of WD40 and some careful wiggling!

I'm only two lenses short of completing my K-series (non-mirror) prime collection now. The 100mm macro is surprising hard to find, and often in bad condition when I do find one.

I like the fact that the manual doesn't recommend using the tripod foot with the Reflex 2000mm as if we all have one of those under the bed!

Best wishes, Kris.

After languishing a a friend's house in Ohio for close to four years thanks to the pandemic, I now have my hands on this lens. A couple of questions if anyone has had one in the past.

The tripod mount has a large knurled knob on the right hand side. I assumed that undoing this would allow the lens to rotate in the mount, or to remove the mount? At the moment, it doesn't appear to do anything (and I'd rather not force it not knowing what it is supposed to do).

Nearer to the lens mount is a small silver knob. I assumed that this would allow me to rotate the camera on the lens to change from landscape to portrait format. Again, undoing this doesn't seem to do anything.

Any info / advice welcome.

Thanks, Kris.
