Where can i find one?!?!? I have spent quite some time and cannot find them. And i did try Kiev Camera on ebay, but it looks like he/she does not even exist on there anymore? I am trying to get one ASAP, as i need it for a project. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

is one location. I can't believe that they are up to $400us now! I'm glad I bought mine a couple of years ago.

is another location. It looks like they include the M42 adaptor in the price.

I get great results with it and really enjoy this lens. I find that I need to set the exposure compensation to around -2 for many scenes if I'm using autoexposure with matrix metering. You might get better results using partial metering. I think the dark corners cause the overexposure.

I've dealt with the above two companies without problems in the past.

I just noticed that you can also buy one with a built in EOS mount from:

They are less expensive too. I've never dealt with them but they seem to carry the same set of lenses.

For the price that they are now charging for the 8mm Peleng, I would almost say just buy the Sigma 8mm for the extra $200 and get AF and the bells and whistles.
