Above price included shipping! When it arrived, I thought I'd done another
Exakta episode, the lens looked so tiny, but miraculously, it fits:





The funky pictures above were taken with this 1998 Agfa 1.2MP camera:

I don't understand, you have attached the Industar to a compact point-and-shoot? Shocked

This is another lens on my wishlist, event if I don't really have any use for it... kinda great little toy !!

Nah, it can't be a mirror camera, I mean, where's the pentaprism?

As I understand, the pictures of Oly+Pancake Industar were taken with the AGFA p&s camera.

Ok, but this structure must take some physical space, it's still a prism after all, it needs a vertical structure. On that camera I see the flash lodging and it's almost on the same level as the top of the lens, so, where's the prism? Shocked

Sideways prism.
Now that's stunning solution.
I was really shocked, I mean where the **** could the prism be?
All my knowledge of reflex cameras, painfully accumulated over the years, was challenged by what I saw. Well, at least I see now that I had some real reason to be astonished!!

Some people hate the looks of the "flat top" but I think it looks cool! Here
are some quick and dirty pics taken with this lens towards dusk:

first one wide open:



cat at f4.2 approximately:



and at f7.6 approximately:



I didn't do a lot of fussy processing with these, just auto-this and auto-that! Wink

Looking at the first picture with that little lens on the e300, I have to
apologize to Orio---it does look like a point and shoot! Rolling Eyes

Makes for a trim, lightweight kit to pack around, though.

Those pics are awesome! Especially #2 - the cat. Hard to believe that such a little lens can do that

Thanks, Patrick! I'm quite pleased with this little lens. I was pretty tired
coming home from work, hope to do some more pics this weekend. I
also had in the mail, another Olympus 35RC for $25, postage included.
I think I have enough of those, now. LOL

The lens, doesn't win any awards for bokeh, but seems to be pretty
sharp.

I have one from Attila that I hope to try out in the next couple of days. After seeing your results it has become a priority

Is this len's mount a native M42 originally for M42 cameras?
I have a Mir w/a which is a M39 for the M39 soviet slrs.
I bought a 39-42 thread adaptor to mount the lens on my E1.

Yes, it has M42 native mount.

Nice lens. I got mine onto the front of my Samsung GX-1L this morning.
It's autumn here in the UK...

One interesting point - I seem to have to add an extra stop to what the camera thinks. Maybe not to do with this particular lens, but more the way the Samsung GX-1L works.

Are you in Wales, David? I seem to remember the name of your city as being in Wales (but maybe I am wrong, don't know much the geography of the UK).

David, Greetings from the US - Orio, Wrexham is a beautiful part of the UK just inside Wales, and not too far from the Liverpool/Manchester complex. Lovely shots of your neighborhood David. It is not unusual for a digital camera to underexpose slightly, and if it is constant it can be corrected by an EV adjustment in the master menu. With RAW and a decent processor, it's really not a problem. I love the results I have been getting from my little Industar, the colour saturation is fabulous.

My Pentax K100D does the same. I don't know about other dSLRs but Pentax ones, when a M42 lens is mounted, underexpose with about 1 stop. With a native K Pentax lens it seems to work ok.

Wrexham is in north-east Wales - the largest conurbation in North Wales. In fact it's on the 'England' side of the hills. In the 'big picture' of the UK, we're SSW of Liverpool (about 50km I think). The Borough includes Wales's largest village (Rhosllanerchrugog) and Wales's highest village (Bwlchgwyn). [Both of these are contested, of course!]
In former years it had coal and steel industries - lots of industrial heritage. I sounds as though there's a lot to photograph, but when you live in a place, I guess you tend to take it for granted Embarassed I'd better do something about that, I suppose.

Hah! Ain't that the truth.
When I picked up a digicam I was taken by the ability to shoot off hundreds of images for apparently no cost, then I thought about where... took me a while to realise that all around me is some of the best scenery in Europe, but I was so used to it, it didn't register that others may find it interesting.
As of late I've been driving around and thinking photographically and realising that many of the of the scenes I see simply wouldn't turn out all that well on a digicam - there's still a way to go yet, but it's (and I) getting there.
