See here: http://www.availabledark.com/images/maine04.jpg Pentax Spotmatic, Soligor 90-230 f/4.5, Kodak EBX @200 And here: http://www.availabledark.com/images/maine11.jpg Pentax Spotmatic, Soligor 90-230 f/4.5, Fuji Velvia As an aside, I like the Soligor in particular because the focus ring curiously rotates in the opposite direction of my Pentax lenses; that is, the same way (right way?) as Leica lenses. I think it works well.

What service can i provide for you?" Take me to your leader! Wait a minute i LIVE HERE! Is that your website?! :) Speaking of Earth does it make sense to put a Soligor 90-230 f4. 5 on a Leica? to me that makes of course no sense. To me it makes sense to get a dirt cheap Yashica camera body and put a quality Zeiss lens for it. Not the other way around. That's what makes sense to me. Glass. The body stops the film from fogging. Gives you a place to keep your film between exposures. Your glass is everything. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
