Hello Paul,
Thanks for the suggestions - I had considered both and rejected the
Nikkor-M in favour of the Ronar - the Fujinon would be nice but harder to
find and more expensive. At the moment I would probably consider any of
the three lenses you mention as I would like to fill that gap :-) As you
may have guessed, am looking for a used version.
Have considered mounting an Artar or a Hexanon in front of an old shutter
but both the lenses are rather heavy. Am still hoping to make the US trip
in September/October this year and keeping the weight down is fairly
important. You may recall that I made the mistake of taking a faster option
for one leg of the trip last year that meant flying in a small aircraft -
never again!
Cheers,
Clive
