Hello guys,
Recently purchased this beauty in mint condition with all the original accessories and the box. the thing is i couldn't find even 1 image of this lens anywhere else Laughing of course the M42 version is not that common but at least you can find that on ebay's listing ,etc. why nobody else mention this lens?

Wow! Rare one!!

It's not even mentioned in the list of lenses in the Fujica AX-5 user manual!

I used Fujica AX-mount cameras for many years and never met this lens, though I've got one in M42 and still use it regularly Smile

I hope you can adapt it to whatever camera you're using, you'll love it Smile

I'd anticipate you'll find the M42 and AX lenses are very similar. I did compare M42 and AX 50mm (or 55mm) lenses back when I was using film and found no difference. The reflected colours from the coatings looked the same, so I think the EBC coating and general optical design did not change.

Because the AX-5, when fitted with the XD adaptor, could use auto-aperture M42 lenses in open-aperture shutter priority and program mode I never had any reason to "upgrade" my older lenses to the bayonet mount. In hindsight this was very fortuitous as I can continue to use the M42 lenses on my Pentax DSLRs, with slight modification, in stop-down mode, not something I could have done with bayonet-mount lenses Smile

Nice lens, what's the focus ring range of rotation? Under 180deg?

Just for reference, the M42 version is just about 180deg., from 1.3ft-0.4m to infinity Smile

I think you are right about most of the fujica lenses but this one is a bit different compare to m42 version. mfd and focus throu are changed and it fells like optical design is abit different too.
