[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have one friend who's had the 75mm f/2.5 Cosina lens for weeks, but he hasn't made prints from it yet as he's waiting for some darkroom construction work to be done. I'll post when I either hear from him or see some prints. Incidentally, in re the 75mm lens thread, this just in from Oren Grad, who I believe stays up late poring over Japanese-language photo magazines: "You heard it here first: SMC Pentax-FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited. Cosmetics like the 43mm, 9-bladed diaphragm, design claimed to optimize everything wonderful about picture taking, from handling to image. List price Y97,000, just under $1K at today's exchange rate..." Of course you have to use it on a Pentax, so never mind. - --Mike
