> hypers.  Look for the Pentax M series 135mm f3.5 lenses.  All the "M" lenses were brought out in the 1980s to match the compact ME and MX series of cameras.  You should be able to pick them up for about $75 each.

Funny you should mention those, I just picked up a pair of them a couple weekends
ago (at Puyallup) for $60 each.  My "twinned" Ricoh SLRs have the lenses at a fixed
75mm spacing, so my hyperability with them is limited..  So far so good (except for the
individual focusing part).

Good for getting the Goose (inside joke for CSC club members)!

P.S.-  Those lenses have built-in hoods, which are quite handy..
