Alas, one of the best fan-created websites ever made has vanished, replaced by a cheap digital ad site. Why oh why must the internet be so fickle? I assume the domain name was bought and this is some sort of cash parking scheme, but it really sucks. The original site was full of great info.

It looks like the Wayback Machine has it:

It actually went away about 10 months ago, but the owner & members of the Manual Focus Lenses forum have preserved & re-hosted a copy of the site at:
Dead Link Removed

The site structure is still the same, so all of your existing links should still work, just change the ".com" to ".org".

You can read a bit more about it here:

Great - I love my 180mm f2.5 Anniversary lens. It works a treat on my EOS1 and that other D****** camera I own.

That was such a great and informative site . . . I think at one point I had a dozen different adaptall lenses. The 300/2.8 adaptall-2 is a fantastic lens.

Had one of those myself too - supersharp and a joy to use. Alas when I changed to EF, it was sold (for a song!!) as I simply didn't use it as much after changing photo careers.
