As I started recently to search for my inventory which is spread over several boxes (still from the time when I moved to my new home, already some years ago) I've found another great lens, which I've already forgotten:




So far I don't have even an idea how to use it properly. Wink
I should really try to use it....
Too much gear....

Ok, now you're just mocking us collectors...
What's next? 58/1.2 noct Nikkor? Or a $9000 Noctlux you forgot in your "boxes". Laughing
Nice lens, easy to use, keep the camera level, shift up instead of tilting up to frame a tall building.
Panos work better with sliders, try and keep the front element from moving, and shift the camera(L-C-R), without a slider, just shift(L-C-R), you will get some parallax with this second method.

No cheating, seriously. When I bought my first digital SLR, the Pentax K20D, I bought as much lenses as I could get from Asahi Optical Co. (M42 and PK). I've changed the focusing screen in that camera to a very special one which was really awful expensive, just to ease the use of old MF lenses and Pentax didn't offer something similar (at least at that time).
There are many lenses around and since I didn't use the Pentax as from my acquisition of the Sony A850, I lost somehow control of those lenses. I am not even sure whether I am missing any focal length or not between 17mm and 400mm. I tried to be complete and original, that's all I'm remembering. So maybe I will find another Pentax gem somewhere. At least I believe that there might be a F1.2 Pentax lens in between. I have to investigate further. I know that it may sound a bit weird. But as I already stated: Too much gear to keep control of it by heart.

No chance to find any unknown Nikon or Leica lens; unfortunately. There I am really confident. Minolta and Pentax are another story...Wink

Anyway, thanks for the hints. I'll try it as soon as I can and post any results afterwards....
