Hi -

I have been on the hunt for a 21mm Kobalux (or Avenon Millenium or MC) lens. Color is not important; I am looking for one with 8 aperture blades and the 0.8mm close focus. If I sold you one back in the day when I was importing them, and you're finding it underutilized, I'll make it worth your while to sell it back (those would be black body with chrome fronts mostly - but a couple of silver ones were in there). I'll look at a bare lens up to a set.

This is more sentimental than anything; I can tell you straight up that the Konica 21-35mm and Zeiss 21/4,5 I replaced it with have higher performance (as would befit what they cost - which was double or quadruple). And for all I know, the Kobalux may have color shift issues on an M typ 240. But nostalgia…

So even if you have a lead somewhere, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dante
