Not sure how these things happen but I have my heart set on getting
this.
When traveling now often bring my Z. 50-250 and sometimes want a nice
longish prime with super good bokeh. It seems like an odd FL and not
long enough for critters and too long for people. It does go to 1:4 is
APO and sharp wide open. I thought with alittle extension would be a
nice complement for longer FL macro. Jeff has a Viv S1 90-180 in OM
mount that is nice too. He sent me a few samples on a 5D11--nice. The
CV is much much smaller, has the same filter size as many Zuikos and
had the advantage of being designed much later.
Wish I had come to this conclusion a couple years ago and could just
have
ordered it at Cameraquest for not really big bucks. Checked with a few
international dealers. One thought there should be a few hanging about
in Japan. Spotted one on yabe in Pentax mount for about double the
original price. Mount surgery at SK Grimes could possibly be
done--heroic and expensive and probably borderline nuts at that point.
One dealer went on a business trip to Jpn and kept a look out for one,
but no luck--just heard from him. :-(
This list is ingenious in finding OM stuff, so I'd thought I'd ask
again.
Thanks for any ideas.
Mike
