I love these pentax lenses, they hold up well to any other brand out there!! even the older m42 ones are tack sharp.
Coupled with your SX ccd camera you should get some awesome widefields now.

Thanks Gazza!

This 200mm F2.5 Pentax Lens is 1985 vintage but has been hardly used so I was looking forward to finally shooting through it - thanks Steve Mogg of Mogg Adapters!!

It is a genuine Pentax SMC lens and stopping down just half a stop to F3 was all that was necessary in Halpha. Not sure how LRGB will go though and hopefully Steve Mogg will develop a thin adapter that allows for filters to be inderted without dismantling, while still allowing for infinity focus to be reached - he will look be looking at it next year I believe?

Mike
