Sometimes I read about front- or backfocus problems with adapted lens on EOS-Cameras. And sometimes the chip-adapters are blamed. I don't understand this idea and until someone has a good argument I c ...

Man, I would love that Jupiter 11! Wonder what shipping would be to
the states...

It's a beauty, yes Wink

Can you tell it's about 100F when I took this?

Shot with the Super-Tak 135/3.5 at f8, late afternoon

Bill

100F? Temperature?
O.k., let me see: 100F = 37,7 Celsius. *ouch* That's hot! You do ...

I need some return for a few other lenses I'm looking for. And I have to make room, I promised it Yvonne long time ago. So here I go:

I sold mine a few weeks ago for around 80 Euros. Sad, because it is a beautiful and sharp lens - but on the other hand focusing is painful. You don't shoot architecture with 300mm. And every other obj ...

Wonderful shots. She's a very beautiful girl - but you set her in scene with a perfection that leaves me amazed. Perfect light and composition, mate.
*wow*

intessting what u said about this lens, Borges.

No. I've bought most of my russian lenses as hidden benefits of auctions with Zenit Ca ...

The only other 58mm f2 lens I am aware of is the Helios 44... any relation to the Biotar ?

Yes, more than a relation: the original name was "BTK" - Biotar Krasnogorsk. It was made from ma ...

Hi Belba,

what aperture was used for the last shot? Seems to be full open and looks more awful than my worst Helios 44 wide open in the edges.
First one is much better - but I think this is the re ...

For myself I can't decide between the first one - because of the reasons Orio described - and the light of the fourth. I've made tons of images in just a few minutes to catch this light. Last one for ...

I'm late here, but I have to say that your shots are impressive. And the last one is of outstanding quality, thanks for sharing!

Michael

Thanks for your kind comments, friends. There are some more to show, but I have to ask my english friends first before posting them.

This was no holiday for manual focus lens. Visiting North Yorkshire with family and lots of friends from england I normally didn't had the time to take pictures beyond the ones for the family album.

I will take a picture of it when I'm back. It's looking like the tair 11 with black body instead of the aluminium of the original version. Made by KMZ itself but not mentioned on www.zenitcamera.com. ...

Impressive shots.

I think a few of them are very good raw material to add some dramatic tone mapping effects.

Michael

Wonderful results, Orio, sure you want to sell it? I have a 11-2 "00"-series and the same experiences - I think this lens would never realize a price adequate to it's real value.

Perfect light - a proof for your great command of this manual lens and your good eyesight Wink

For me this would be too dark to get the focus right.

Michael

Yes, Tom, this shots are impressive and perfect examples for bw street shots. Thanks for sharing.

Michael

Yvonne certainly held up her end with that second
pic! Smile
