Hi Michiel, I am assuming you mean to allow closer focus to throw the background out of focus? If so then I think that would be an interesting experiment. Also I am not aware of any recent work (there may be older stuff I have no knowledge of) that you use shallow dof? I would be interested to see your vision of it's use.Alan, I should try my Helios 85 once with an extension tube!
Hi Allen, well actually I mean that I can't use this huge lens directly on the K-1 because it just doesn't fit due to the overhanging mirrorbox. I have more M42 lenses which don't fit on the K-1.Hi Michiel, I am assuming you mean to allow closer focus to throw the background out of focus?

I forgot about the pentaprism housing, makes perfect sense. I had not seen the shallow dof work of yours only the later front to back sharp work. I myself always tried for full sharpness in all my landscape work, but over the last few years have been enjoying experimenting with shallow dof.well actually I mean that I can't use this huge lens directly on the K-1
