  I think you will have much better luck finding these kind of fine lenses on ebay! I'm a collector of Super Takumar (SMC) and East German Zeiss Jena lenses too. My favorate one is the multi-coated Sonnar 2,8/180 Carl Zeiss Jena! I have converted the lens to Nikon AI and I'm going to get a Nikon to EOS adaptor mount and use it on my 20D.
  
  Good luck!

  Flektagon?
  I have none yet but know enough to say that you are a person of good taste and sober nature(with your buck$)!
  
  Do you have the 200mm jena sonnor?
  
  Regarding your conversion of the 180mm-does that mean that you have a M40-Nikon conversion plate and are then going to add a further Nikon to Eos conversion plate? Won't this push your rear element out too far from the camera body? Aren't there any M40-Nikon adapter plates so that you can do it in one step?
  
  Also, have you any experience with the Flektagon lenses-I am thinking of one for reversal onto bellows for extreme macro,as well as landscape etc.
  
  Do you know how they compare optically to the Di$tagon? Do you know how the coatings compare?
  
  Enough questions from me!

  found SMC Takumar 200/4
  Just a quick note to say that I have sourced a 200mm/f4.0 SMC Takumar for US$70.00-i now need an adapter plate and I will then be ready to rock and roll with my 320mm equiv f4.
  
  180mm and 200mm CZJ sonnars and flektagons are however a lot harder to find....

  :DGood taste in lenses. I came close to getting the 180 Sonar for my Mamiya, I got the 150 Kalienar instead. Lovely lenses but real horses to drag around.
  I have a couple of CZJ lenses for my Praktica and love them. Looking for a Super TAk 50, 1.4 for my Praktica, do you have any good sources?
  
  Thanks
  Richard
