hey everyone, looking for someone in south Africa that has a Konica hexanon 40mm 1.8 in good nick and asking a decent price for it. If you have one please let me know and we can talk from there.

regards

I am not in South Africa, but the shipping from here to SA is not excessive (17 Euros with tracking). What's your target price including shipping? I have two Hexanon pancakes, one is in great shape, another one has a damaged filter thread. Perhaps we can work out a deal...

I'm looking for a wide angle lens for, or adaptable to, a canon. I'm leaning towards one of the Rokinon fisheye Cine lenses (I'll be using it for video), but I'm trying to keep it under $300, so if you have another option, please send me a message

Hello I just joined the forum as I`m looking for a part & don't know where else to look. but it says I need 10 posts to make a thread here.

I just want the spring that holds the pin down from this lens.
Pentacon auto 50mm f1.8 manual focus lens M42 pentax screw fit
I don't want to have to buy a whole lens as I didn't pay much for it.

sorry if this is not the right place.

Disassemble a classic (push/press to write) ballpoint pen. You'll possibly find that spring (little adjusted) usable enough.

Hi, guys.

I'm looking for a Nikkor (AI or AIS or K) 135mm f/2. Especially from someone from Europe.

I use the lovely Nikkor AI 135mm f/2.8 (which could be used for trade) and was looking for getting the f/2.

Cheers.
