chepas_nigs Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Picked it up very cheaply from a trift store for an equiv of $4 - a very cheap alternative to the Pentax DA 50-200mm. Just in case you are short in budget.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemked Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Chelo, Not to down play your great find, but those photos are awfully fuzzy. I don't think you'll convince very many people that the lens is a good alternative to something from Pentax. Were you actually shooting from a tripod?

chepas_nigs Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 I agree it's a bit fuzzy, probably camera is still shaking a bit with the very slow shutter speed :-( yup with the self timer and MLU and on a tripod. anyway - just in case if they do find it cheaply not too bad own it :-) it has this one other option of doing macro also - it goes down 5cm from the object at 250mm or 1:1.4. i'll try to post beter pixs when it's not drizzling in the Kanto plain :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbatkan Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'm going to take the wild guess that you won't be finding too many of any type of lens for $4 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_502260 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I have this lens in Konica AR mount and it is surprisingly sharp. When I bought it, more than 10 years ago, it cost me $60. My only complaints are that it is slow and doesn't have a tripod socket. When you close it down just a little it is quite sharp in the close-up mode too. If I can find one of these in Monilta mount at a good price I will get it. The bright viewfinder of the X-700 combined with a grid or matte focusing screen will make it more usable.
