Not as long as Carsten's list but there is much space left in the room where I keep my gear. I will add informations and links to my website with pictures of the particular lens during the next days.

MC Rubinar 8/500mm

Mir-24M and Jupiter 11 on the way


Non FSU lens:
T aus Jena (Carl Zeiss Jena -Tessar) 2.8/50mm
Pentacon auto MC 1.8/50mm
Auto Revuenon 2.8/35mm (crap!)
Weltblick 2.8/55mm
Orestegor 4/200mm

BTW:
I acquired most lenses as free or hidden give-aways, found them often only on the pictures in auctions like "Old Camera" or "Zenit E, defect". The Tair 3s for example was together with a Jupiter 9 part of such an auction with a "wrong" title (wrong for the seller). After a lot of auctions I own many Zenit E, ET, 11, 12xp and so on, often crap. If someone from this forum needs spare parts for a Zenit, please drop me a line, perhaps I'm able to help.

The list makes me think instead of Michael as the god Apollo, running through the sky on his Sun (Helios) chariot Exclamation Smile

It is not the size that counts... Laughing Wink

You have quite a few lenses in your collection I would like to have (and would trade in many of my lenses for).

Nice collection, really!

I also think, I should get rid of some of my lenses. Too many is not good either. I don't really use some of them a lot...

Carsten
