thanks guys for responding.i have bought the lens from canada and yeah, it seems he sells a lot of this stuff ;-)
fantastic stuff, todd! i would be very interested in the image quality of the lens.
in the meantime i bought a möller 32/2x lens for a good price. the lens arrived this week and i am very happy with it. the size is perfect, like an old vintage tele lens. not very heavy.
all i need now are the clamps. i am looking for a DIY solution, perhaps i try a 52mm lens hood.
so for now the kowa collects dust. hell, i have a gx80 and this thing is double size and weight ;-)
