Looks pretty good to me. It looks like it focuses quite closely too. I bet you didn't pay much for it either.

On the sauce again G? Laughing

My Pentacon 200mm preset also swirls wide open.

Hi Martin. You know me too well Smile

I picked it up at a boot sale if I recall correctly. I can't remember exactly, but I certainly wouldn't have paid more than 2 or 3 GBP.

PS, been meaning to ask you. You know that superb 5D you sold me? Can you recall if it has the standard focus screen, or if it's got the manual focus screen in? Thx

No. I'd like to have it, but I'll wait and find one in the US. Plus the real reason is I'm broke. Smile

Ah, but that's the advantage of cheap lenses Smile

Have you got any samples from your Seimar 400mm ?

No samples yet. I'm way behind on lens testing. Hopefully soon. Smile

Yeah, I like cheap lenses. My Seimar was less then $6.
