Hello Paul,

Thanks for the suggestions - I had considered both and rejected the 
Nikkor-M in favour of the Ronar - the Fujinon would be nice but harder to 
find and more expensive.  At the moment I would probably consider any of 
the three lenses you mention as I would like to fill that gap :-)  As you 
may have guessed, am looking for a used version.

Have considered mounting an Artar or a Hexanon in front of an old shutter 
but both the lenses are rather heavy.  Am still hoping to make the US trip 
in September/October this year and keeping the weight down is fairly 
important. You may recall that I made the mistake of taking a faster option 
for one leg of the trip last year that meant flying in a small aircraft - 
never again!

Cheers,
             Clive
