Here are a few recent photos with this worn, but nice looking lens.
Comments welcome. Also advise what size to post vertical photos so they fit nicely on computer screen.

Looks good. I love a well worn and tattered lens (with good glass).

The lens looks beautiful with the chrome
Nice series of images, I like 9 the most and 10 with the interesting shadow on the wall.

Thanks, who used this lens touched it up with a black marker or it would even look more worn.
This is a pretty heavy and solid feeling lens.

Nice one. This is one of the better third party lenses of the 1960's. There is a more compact later version in T-mount.

You seem to have the original hood for this, which is quite rare. Good for you.

Thank you, actually I bought this lens because of your comments about it, as also the
VERNON EDONAR AUTO 300mm (Tamron) which I am waiting for now.
Glad to hear that I have something rare since I wasn't able to buy the Shinano Pigeon 5b. Laughing

I like this Sankor lens, but I am still learning how to get the best from it.
