Yes, it seems I did. I have bought quite a few not-so-good camera kits from the same store (mostly to contribute to their work, their profits go to charity) and they usually ask the same price almost regardless of the actual lenses included (they really have no clue what they´re selling), so I figured I´ve earned this one Wink

I've had some great deals myself, but this one is a real steal. I expect it to be nothing less than outstanding.

The adapter arrived yesterday (Rainbow Imaging on eBay has China prices and US delivery times, i.e. not four weeks to Europe) so, naturally, I had to shoot something and post it here.
That something turned out to be my glass of Coke and my daughter's bike (36 MP versions available by clicking the links):

Focusing turned out to be ever so stiff when trying to fine tune the focus point, so perhaps I'll strip her down and grease her up...

Great performance (as expected)

My experience with that lens is limited. Only two of them. One was a time ago, very nice lens I remember. The actual is very good one too.

Only a bit strong the CA in backlight situations, especailly at F/2 to F/4.

If you want to use it with a bright back (f.e. clear or white wall, bright window, etc) perhaps you will need to subexposed the subject, or have strong CA.

There are a lot of those lenses with problems with the coating in the internal rear elements. I saw some.
