Finally, today the postal service delivered my Jupiter 21m 200mm f4 M42
mount lens that was shipped from Russia on 9th Dec'04!!! Cost me $45
and $15 in shipping from Russia to India for this ~1Kg lens.

They have some cool looking stuff - and cheap as hell too.

Anyone ever used one of these:

I was thinking for some moon pictures......

I wonder if it will work with a D70.

1000mm x 1.5 crop factor....wow.

Just remember that when you use slow shutter speed everything is moving (the
Earth and the Moon). If you are really into astronomy you might want to get
a motorized base that they use for telescopes.
