Hello. I am given an opportunity to acquire not working body Mamiya 500 DTL and two lenses 50/2 and 135/3.5. Since both lenses are M42 they could be potentially used with my ZX-L. I've been wondering how good are these lenses and in particular how good is 135/3.5 compared with Takumar (non SMC) 135/2.5?
The body could be tried to be repaired though. I have no idea as to how good is this body, say with respect to similar Pentax bodies. Is it worth the trouble trying to repare? Thanks in advance. --- Boris Liberman www.geocities.com/dunno57 www.photosig.com/viewuser.php?id=38625
