Finally using my Horseman and being pleasantly surprised when I developed them that they were in focus and correctly exposed! I need to set up something at home though because the deep tanks at work are full of c@@p.

A minty shift went for £510.00 tonight. I really should have snapped up one of the ones which went for about £250 last year... ~sigh~

I just have three K series lenses and they are all excellent. I have my eye out for one or two more...

Very tempted but only if SRS can trim a good chunk off the RRP!

It is a little fiddly but not too much of a pain depending on circumstances. I mainly use it to use my Jupiter 85mm as I do not have a k-mount lens like it. As that is a preset lens it is a bit fiddly to use anyway. The other time I use it is with my bellows as I do not have a k-mount set of bellows and the 50mm Taks I have work well with it.

For a 400mm lens you are probably better off using the 55-300 and cropping as John suggested although mounting a 400mm Tak will get you noticed!

Best wishes, Kris.

A SMC Takumar 35mm f/2 went for £67 on evilbay this evening. Considerably more than my max bid! This K series version of this lens isn't very common.

SRS only had black 43mm Ltds when I bought mine and I didn't have the patience to wait for a silver one to come in. I assume the 31mm lives up to its reputation? Given the price in the UK I shan't be getting one anytime soon I haven't seen the 30mm on ebay despite looking quite regularly.

Cheers, Kris.

I went to an exhibition of Ansel Adams photographs a couple of years back. Large format negs expertly printed at anything up to 6 x 4, feet that is. It made me realise that the various books I had seen did not do his photographs justice. Big subjects, big negatives and huge prints, just stunning.

It was probably taken using something like a banquet camera. These took ULF film (e.g., 7" x 17") with a wide angle lens. The prints were usually contact prints. What size is the print?

Best wishes, Kris.
