Well, nearly four years since my last post!  This time I had forgotten, but was going to start a new blog and rediscovered this one.

So an update is long overdue.

No, I haven't succeeded!  But I still have the wonderful Kiron lens which turned out to be a very good one indeed and, luckily for me, in working order with no sticky aperture problems which these lenses are supposed to be prone.

The Hoya 135mm went a couple of years ago for £18 so if I now sell the Kiron I'll be able to continue the quest...
