Hi everyone, I hope it is OK to post this. I think some of you might be interested. A friend of mine went on a trip with them and it was her best vacation...

Bruce. Thanks for the reply. I didn't mean to imply that the site wasn't up and running. Rather that the members weren't using it. And Gene, yes, thank...
I don't post here often, but have been lurking on clubM42 for a couple years. In my experience, the place is spotty... sometimes empty, sometimes something...
The ZS lenses aren't due to ship until next month, and I haven't heard of any making it into the wild early (There's a couple ZF examples that have already...
Depending on which DSLR you use, if I were using EOS (which many people do), it makes more sense to buy the ZF lenses ... at least on a nikon film slr (whichis...
The 50 will be $600 USD from Cameraquest, 85 will be around $1000. More lenses will be announced at Photokina in September. Expect a 60mm Makro-planar, a 28f2...
Adam: I bought the *istDS from Willoughby's, delivered to the door with the 18-55 lens for $748USD. It's quite a good camera and, for under twenty bucks I...
Looks like pentax has upped the ante. I wonder how the others will respond. Pentax is getting back into the game big-time. They've announced plans for a...
Thanks, Adam. Hmmm, the prices are rather stiff I should say. The one wider than 28 is probably the 21/2.8. That way people won't be too shocked by the price...
The 50's pricey, the 85 is quite reasonable for a fast 85, especially compared to $2500USD for a Canon EF 85 f1.2L USM II. It's about the same the Nikon AI-S...
A couple of years ago I bought a Contax RTS and 50mm f1.4 Planar in excellent condition for way less than the these new Zeiss lenses are listing for. I'm glad...
I have this lens sitting in front of me now. Kenko 85mm/2.5 soft focus. It is an all manual lens. F stops are 2.5 ~ 8 The aperture is very round, like my newer...
(In reply) - I think that's a T-mount manual, and Goodwin Photo has one for $100. Adorama has a long lest of Kenko accessories. I think this lens has been...
Hi Greg, I agree with Phil. I have one that came in Nikon, but the mount can be unscrewed and an M42 T-mount attaches nicely. Frankly, I have not shot mine, so...
Maybe OT, but still: I have a lot of quality lenses for various SLR cameras: Pentax M & A; P6 with M42, Nikon and P/K adapters; Nikon Ai & AF; LTM 39 & Leica...
THe manual explicitly states the lens is NOT a T mount. It is M42. Maybe cause mine is a newer model?? <-----Original Message-----> ... M42 ... <P><font...
(In reply) - I cannot recall a single brand where the lens came both in T-Mount and M42, separately. There would have been no point to it for a lens without...
Oh boy you trigerred some memories. Prior to my research venture to panama jungle where I needed macro gear, I visited Spiratone (WHAT a disappointment... A ...
(In reply) - I guess seeing the place after viewing multiple pages of ads in Popular Photography came as a letdown, but the showcases were full of items, and...
I have an Accura wide angle in auto m42. I've been told that they were rebadged Sigma's but haven't been able to verify it. Not too bad a lens for $5 either. ...
(In reply) - My feeling is that Accura was a marketing brand like Vivitar and Soligor, but a lower-priced variety, which let places like Spiratone make their...
There is no pin in the rear.. It is a fully manual lens. I mounted it on my M42/Maxxum adatper. I shot some digital images.. I am rather impressed. f8 the soft...
