Whoops - I actually meant to mention that. Thought about it after I  
hit send and then got sidetracked (the story of my life).

BTW: Terry Byrne and were discussing the use of Pentacon Six lenses  
with OCT19 adapters. I toyed with my P6 lenses a little on my Konvas  
(via my OCT18 adapter) a while ago, but haven't used them for anything  
"pro" yet. Has anyone been using them on a set? How did you feel about  
their look in comparison to standard LOMO/Zeiss/Cooke/other cine  
lenses? Resolution/Contrast? Follow focus? Any other thoughts or  
complaints? Can they be used in a cine LOMO line-up?
