A couple of pre-loved Asahi 6x7 medium format lenses I bought recently: 200mm/f4 and 300mm/f4.





SRB Griturn are making me a T2:6x7 adaptor so I can use them with my CCD.

I suspect there'll be quite a bit of new kit announced this week as it's "Focus on Imaging", the big photography exhibition at the NEC

cheers Andy, i reckon those cokin filters alone would have set me back at least a £100 and there is 3 or 4 sonly alpha compatable lenses in there too, i think there is also a converter in there for using minolta MD/MC lenses with the sony's too and the md lenses are stupid cheap on ebay.
