I went to a Flea Market this morning. I was looking for a 50mm Nikon mount. I didn't find any Nikon mount in good condition but I found this lens. It cost around US$8 with adapter.
Any one knows who made this lens? It is well construction and the serial nº is 25214....
Here is a quick test...

Yes, yours is older that time they made metal glass lenses. Perhaps pretty good one. _________________ -------------------------------

This lens was sold in UK under the 'Hanimar' and other labels - it was about the cheapest on the market in the early 1980s and had a reputation for mechanical problems in the M42 version. The diaphragm actuating pin was a weak point and failed to stop down the iris, and sometimes the focusing assembly came loose. But the optical performance never seemed to upset anyone. _________________ Stephen
