Hmm, those images make me want one.
How much was it?
Is there any difference in terms of optics between FL and FD ( same lens of course)?

do you get infinity focus on the Pentax ?

If so, was the lens hack to M42 an easy one?

Rusty how far were you away from the bird and surfer when these pictures were taken?

That's seriously sharp at f2.8. My Tokina 300/2.8 is nowhere near that @WA aperture!
Mad What a bargain as well.
Conglats!

Paul, he did make mention of converting it to M42 to use on EOS, so I'm
pretty sure these are with a Canon DSLR of some sort.

Fabulous results!

Very easy with some tools The back portion of the lens was shortened on the lathe , and a machined part of an old 2 x extender was mounted flush with the inner diam of the back
Perfect infinity focus on both spottie and the Canon 50D Very Happy

The bird roughly about 5 meter if i remember correctly ,the surfer about 40 -50 meters (difficult to judge the distance over water) Sad
