Fujita is really small! A returning to previous subject a bit:

Lineup on the second photo from left to right:
E. Ludwig Anastigmat-Victar 2.9/50mm
CZJ Tessar 3.5/50mm
E. Ludwig Meritar early version 2.9/50mm
Industar-50-3 3.5/50mm

Sorry for messy samples - i didn't manage to clean yet. Well in fact Industar is the biggest, but it closes very deep so it become the thinest (opposite story with Victar). Industar is the only M42, other three are Exakta mounts.

Easy to beat...

How about the Zeiss S-Planar 32mm, just 1.5" in size


or a CZJ 4.5/20mm Planar, covers 4x5" and is just 1" in size:


Like it even smaller? CZJ Mikrotar 10mm, also covers 4x5"


and to balance the politics out a bit (LOL) , a Bausch&Lomb Micro Tessar 10mm (also for 4x5")


Ok, ok, all are macro lenses, but that was not the question...

I wonder what the smallest 135mm lens is for 35mm format?
I just picked up a dinky little Vivitar 135mm f2.8 preset lens with a T mount and a wonderful 15 blade Iris that I think may be a good candidate.
Its only 85mm long and 60mm diameter.


Its true these are small but they are all slower than my Vivitar so perhaps I should really have asked: "I wonder what the smallest 135mm f2.8 lens is for 35mm format?

Asahi Kogaku Takumar 50/3.5, approximatively the same size of the industar 50-2, but heavier (158g vs 68g) and full chrome :



Was that taken with an Industar Macro lens?

I was primarily interested in the smallest m42 "normal" lenses to put on M42 bodies. But it's nice to see all others strange tiny fellows.

It is a great lens - isn't it?! And that shot is a really great one!

The smallest normal lens I have is the DKL mount (m42 with adapter) Voigtlander Color-Skopar-x 50/2.8


Takes some ok pics, though

Hardly. I hear some of the acts in it are funny.

Thanks Klaus; I will see if I can get the colour version scanned and uploaded some time.

Wow! That one is so small, they could hardly find a place to put the engravings! Shocked Very Happy

What type of camera is it from, and is it still usable?

The cement layers have really deteriorated and rendered it unusable. You should be able to make out the markings saying it is a Collinear Series III, No.00, focal length 68mm and can cover 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" at f/16.

Topic pretty much lost it's track but anyway here another midget, having useful flange distance around 46mm.

This Belar lens should be an enlarging lens rather than a camera lens.

As i said this topic ran out of course thus wider range of lenses are popping out. Just taken Belar out on my balcony, it's murky day with rain pouring. Handheld so obvious TS effects appeared. Wide-open, unprocessed. Behaves like any other 55mm lens on my Pentax K10D.
