I just got one as well. What did you pay for it? (just curious, I'll tell you what I paid at the local flee market Wink )




For some reason, I can't see the pictures in my post, so:

You can't post images on your first post that's why :0)

I paid €25 from a local forum member. Wouldn't hesitate again knowing it was a nice copy.

If you're considering f1.4 next.....

my $0.02 vote is for the S-M-C Takumar 50 f1.4 and Mamiya/Sekor Auto 55 f1.4, for the M42 mount, like the Porst.
The Mamiya is made by Tomioka, and they branded the same lens under several names. Sears being one, Ricoh another.


Alternative mounts....Konica Hexanon AR 50 f1.4 EE.

I paid 10€ at the local flee market. It came with a complimentary red sock as a lens pouch Very Happy
It's quite nice so far, but the bokeh can look a bit busy at times.

I did a quick hand held series of pictures starting at 1.7 and going up a half stop each time:

I had to remove a stuck ring from the front, I guess it was a broken filter...

Stuck filter if really stuck (not even WD 40 works) it is smoother to cut them on one part with small saw (micro tools). You stop cutting just before reaching lens then break it.
