How about the Peleng 8mm �3.5, does anyone have one of these? Comes standard with M42 and Nikon F mounts, others available as it is a preset T-mount lens. Made in Belarus. Designed for slightly wider Soviet film, so you don't quite get a full circle.
Available on ebay, or here http://www.geocities.com/belshop/ Also, have any Australians bought either the Zenitar or the Peleng? I recall seeing the Peleng up on sold.com.au, but the price was high. I wouldn't mind acquiring one of these, probably the Zenitar, but am not sure of the easiest method (Russian/American Ebay seller/net store/list contact?) Finally, why the price difference between the mounts? The BIN is ~US$110-170 from M42 through K, EOS/FD, F. Is it simply brand snobbery, or a matter of complexity and diaphragm operation? (I assume it has auto diaphragm) Andrew (Still with the MEsuper and 55/1.8, and the film transport's only locked twice.) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
