I can't think of anywhere, the only camera store by me or anything like that is just a camera shop with a few old cameras and lenses and the guy working there doesn't know a whole lot..

I'm thinking it has something to do with the internal coating or just something on the elements that didn't come off when I cleaned them.

Yeah, might be something like that. How old is the lens?

I'm not sure, I think it has to be at least like 20 years old. It's a Promaster SP MC, it's completely manual and is made for a camera that stopped production more then 10 years ago I think.

Ah. absolutely no idea then. When you bought it were you aware of the problem?

Nope, the guy said it worked perfectly fine, I wish I could take it back, I could get a two more cameras with that $50...

Could anyone give some helpful comments?

The only ones who's catching my eyes are:

#4 I think it's the old/rusty look that's really appealing in this one, and there's a great balance between foreground, middleground and background.
A really good picture!!

#7 The concept of this picture is really good. It's too bad it's blurry in the foreground, but the compostion is great

#8 Not much to say, great photo!


I hope this will count as a helpfull comment

Gracias, it was more helpful then just saying great photos.

As for #7, it's kinda hard to get everything in focus with a 50mm 1.7/f lens.
