This lens is a simple triplet.
It is beautifully made and takes lovely images.
Not just portraits.

Lovely. I think Pieskers are lens of the future Cool

Going auctioned still cheap.

I follow two of them auctioned from USA this days, and if there is someone thinking similarly, I urge the other person to split our focus on one auction each not to spoil each other's prices Wink

(Got Votar 135mm already, didn't see the sun from this time though, stupid January, stupid Europe and stupid snow)

I missed this topic until now, that's a gorgeous portrait Tom. It's obviously a very nice lens, and you're using it well.

Thanks Lloyd.
There are lenses that excite when we use them. This is one of those for me.
I really like this lens.

I won this version guys Cool

(For a friend of mine, I came to a decision I just have enough Pieskers)

But I'll have it at home for a couple of days so I'll use it and cuddle it as much as possible Cool

I took this lens out of storage today and finally cleaned the haze out of it, fortunately it cleaned up very nicely. The only thing i need now is to know what type of lens mount this is. The mount appears to have 2 slightly different threads on it, one finer thread at about 57mm diameter, slightly finer than 1.0mm pitch, maybe 0.75mm. The coarser thread is around 60mm diameter and about 2.0mm pitch. Does anyone know what type of camera this would mount to? I imagine it's some type of medium format system from around the 50s or 60s.

Very interesting! Never seen such a thing. Maybe to fit multiple cameras?

As to Piesker, they made very good lenses IMHO. I have a few different FL's.

I think the coarse thread maybe a Hasselblad 1600F/1000F mount, but the single listing for mount diameter I can find claims a 78mm mount diameter. The thread is multi-start, as per the Hasselblad and its Kiev 88 copy, and looks very similar to lenses I searched for with Hasselblad mount on Ebay, but definitely not 78mm. There's plenty of talk out there concerning both the Hasselblad and Kiev cameras, but not a single other mention of mount dimensions.

Edit: I wondered if the 57mm thread was for Bronica cameras, but their thread was 57mm x 1mm pitch, this is less than that. I used an M42 mount lens, plus a T2 mount lens, as a rough thread pitch gauge, it definitely appears to be 0.75mm pitch.
