Hey guys

Picked up this cam a few days ago from a fella at my dad's work for £20 including the lens, as I needed a canon compatible film slr so i could use anything i have atm with it when I need to shoot film for my college course...



...i pretty much wrote the lens off as mediocre, until i saw a thread over at fred mirandas about this exact lens! basically, the front element just clips off, which leaves it looking like this (pic from the thread at FM):



and it then lets it focus bloomin close....these are some pics that I took with it:

This is a another shot of the same 5p, uncropped but resized:



This is just a 100% crop of a picture of the word "be" in size 10 font on my 19" Trinitron @ 1280x1024

EDIT Img tags broken by the admin on the last photo as it exceeds the forum guidlines.

Basically check out the auction site / local dealers and GET THIS LENS probably will cost you no more than a tenner
