What is the most common lens what is every member have it , I am thinking on a lens contest and need to know what is the most common lens what is available for both of us.

My idea is pretty simple take a common lens like Helios-44 58mm f2 and we should post here and let we see who made the nicest picture with a same lens.

Any suggestion to the list ?

How about the Trioplan?

Personally apart from the Kalinear 100mm that arrived last night so far I've ony got Nikkors (and a fair few of them Very Happy ) but I don't know how many of the non-Nikon owning members use them. I do have a Trioplan on the way though.

Regardless of whether I'll be able to take part I think it's a good idea.

I think the Helios-44 might be the lens that the highest percentage of us has.
And even if not, it can easily be found for cheap money. Wink

I like the idea of using the same lens for a project. Very Happy

It's okay I get the hint Wink I need to buy another lens... Smile

I just hope my M42-Nikon adapter turns up soon...

Trioplan is kind of fashion , but pretty rare lens. I don't think so every member have it or able to get it, but let we see.
Kaleinar 100 is far from common lenses, not many people have it I am sure.

I think you have right Chris, but focal length contents was already done, Carsten started a few months ago. This is an another idea.Tamron lenses are a very good idea , they are cheap and usable on every camera systems.

Do we vote for just one lens or indicate which we have?
I think Tamron might be the most common after CZJ. What about a Flek'?

Is it possible to modify the poll software in order to have a multiple selection?
(just if it's easy, else forget about it)

Don't know I guess we need to forget I working on other stuff on the forum.

I think Tamron 28mm f2.8 is rare... 28mm f2.5 is common...

Ohh... Shocked I have Tamron 135mm F2.5 too. Great lens Cool and Meyer Optik 135mm too actually Shocked what was I thinking Embarassed

But Helios is the most common, I think.

Was this multiple choice poll? Embarassed


Other common lenses for your list:
Pentacon 50mm f1.8
Tamron SP 90mm F2.5

Attila, I think that it will be very difficult to find lenses that can be common to everyone. The most logical choice would be a NIkkor lens as Nikon is the camera with the longest register distance and its lenses can be used on all the other cameras. But then there is the fact that Nikkor lenses are often not cheap, while M42 lenses can be much cheaper.

So my suggestion is that you make two parallel contests, one for Helios-44 owners the other for the owners of a lens that can be used on Nikon cameras without limitations - this could be a budget Nikkor like a series-E, or a MIR with Nikon mount, or a Tamron with Nikkor adaptall.
This way someone will maybe take part to both contests, but we can be sure that everyone will have at least one contest that he can join.

And anyway don't forget that you can already submit December pictures for Calendar 2009! Wink

That is absolutely ok, but Nikkon owner can use Helios with an M42 adapter both are inexpensive.
