I know I am spending too much time with this lens (one of my friends on other forum suspects I am obsessed with cats..).

Since I have two specimens now

Only 2?
I have 5 cats!
Not obsessed, neighbour died some years back and his little jet black Bombay decided she lived at my place, at first just in the yard in somewhere I made comfortable, dry and warm (na dfed her twice daily, fresh water at all times, spoiled), then she had 2 litters of kittens, 3 got stolen (desexed and chipped) but I kept the lot, plus already had one.
She's a big hearted tiny little thing, big teeth too.


I'll look into the focus with the stops but not always easy to find, I've had the 85mm Rokinon stripped as far as I was prepared to go (and that's further than most people) but I couldn't find an answer.
With the Pentax lens it's the cheap K&F adapter. I believe if I spend the higher money and get a good branded adapter (around $150) it will be fine but I've decided I may as well just put that into a Nikon lens itself.
If I could just find the AIS 28mm f2.8 Nikkor I'd snap it up in a heart beat BUT, I won't pay over $500 for it and I've seen them for that from Japan on eBay, a lens that didn't cost that new I believe (I'm talking older 80's models).....
I'll find one one day or a 20mm f1.8 (or 1.4 I can't remember).
If I had the finances I'd have the 14mm Nikkor in a heart beat too, I need a faster get away car, my old 92 Falcon just won't cut it against these fancy BMW's, LOL
