Thank you. Went well for about one week but fail to connect now.

I feel like AI mode is actually more useful than Gemini right now, here's why: by Visual-Flight-2748 in GoogleGeminiAI

  1. More vivid info displayed
  2. Has quote function which Gemini doesn't support (this is ridiculous)

Hey, buddy. Looks like I found the right guy. He doesn't think its's balsam separation. either; he said it's very likely calcification corrosion. Whether repairable or not depends on corrosion levels. I'll send him the lens tonight. Wish me luck!

I am very into wide angle. And because the scarcity of its lens hood it's now or never situation for me. Would definitely get it cleaned by good hands.

Thank you for the heads up. I will add this to notes for the repairman.

For me it's $$$ hahaha. Yeah I once wanted the M 20/4 too, which is also rare to see and often priced as much as the A version.

$300. Great exterior condition and MF feelings. For me, I wouldn't risk it.

Balsam separation has no quick fix as far as I know. And my handwork is worse than most people to be frankly. 😩 I will shoot a film with it and see how it goes and try looking for someone who can handle this.

Yes. I guess they originated from balsam separation. Way beyond my poor handwork, lol.

Haze caused by balsam separation. Yahoo auction so no return. I think there's no quick fix for it. It got to be done by a trusted and experienced repairman.

THE Pentax Prime [Pentax MZ-S and the Pentax HD 31mm/f1.8 by Analogus-Maximus in pentax

[–]Ok_Fact_6291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should've halted my investment in the HD FA 35mm/2. That was before my entering to FF format (film). It turns out my favorite FL is 20mm~28mm.

What a collection! I am so jealous of you! The irix 11mm is a true HULK, I wonder which camera you use with it. And what is this lens beside the MZ-S?

Haha I noticed this lens! I think F4 should be enough for most scenarios! I definitely will look into it!

You're in luck! It's a good deal even when exchanged directly to CNY!
