I just noticed all the dust spots I missed. Apologies for that! Hard to tell tatty old monitor from dust these days...
Abstract was what I was going for. Just getting the end of the stigma in focus was a fiddle. I must get a focus rail...

The micro 4/3rds brigade are doing well as lots of older glass can be made to work/fit of all sorts of makes and types. I guess the one weak spot is going to be wide angles due to the crop factor.

I wouldn't know where to start with repairing/converting it but if you think you can sort it, then it is worth a punt.

David is away for a little while so not sure when emails will be replied to.
AFAIK the K20D, DA* 16-50 and 50-135mm lenses are still available, as is one flash and a selection of 6x7 lenses.
Best wishes, Kris.

I have just ordered one myself as I have access to a collection of FD lenses. The additional optical element may be a factor in the quality achievable, I will report back when it arrives.

If you're using auto focus detection, check which focus point you have selected in-camera I suspect it's not centre
With older manual lenses the focus point defaults to centre spot, you cannot choose anything else.If you're using auto focus detection, check which focus point you have selected in-camera I suspect it's not centre
