Monaghan's Megasite, Cult Classics and etc.
When I was growing up, way back in my 40's, just 10 short years ago, Monaghan's Megasite (MM) was one of my favourite sites for information on photography. It was an incredible resource for cameras, lenses, technology, and technique. Unfortunately, MM has been, effectively, offline for many years. One of my favourite parts of the MM site was the "Cult Classics" section. This is where I learned that Vivitar Series 1 lenses from the mid-1970s to mid-1980s were really, really good, as well as many other specific lenses from other brands. Unfortunately, the Cult Classics web pages have been offline for many years. So, I've decided to post the Cult Classics pages on my site, in .pdf format, converted from a .doc file that I made seven or eight years ago. Here's the link,

You'll probably recognize some of the 'unknown' brands. Many of them are now very expensive, if you can find them...
The main Monaghan's Megasite index page and the "Third Party Lenses..." pages are still available online,

... but the Cult Classics and many other pages are gone.
Anyway, there it is. I apologize if this raises any copyright or personal issues. If you don't think it should be posted, then let me know, and we can talk about it.
Cheers, Jim
