So it is made by Makina - that series of Hanimex lenses are Makinas, there will be a Makinon branded version too. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Hanimex like to me also, I still have it, mine was crappy performer on G1, not a big surprise , camera not good either, I did love colors. |
That is interesting,I will take it out on the K-01 today as the battery is fully charged. It is a heavy lens and putting it on the G1 you certainly need the tripod to steady it.

That's the one I have, not a bad lens either.
I saw one of these 3.3 lenses at the camera fair, and someone else was handing over £10 for it. I think they got a bargain. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

I was very surprised by the quality of the images taken with this lens - even from wide open.
Many of the samples that I have posted were taken at full aperture.
Now, I have seen samples taken by the Soligor 2.8/200 at full aperture or close to it, and I honestly think that this lens is as good as or better at 3.3 than the 2.8/200 at around the same opening.
It would be one to keep an eye out for - especially as prices for this lens are normally quite reasonable.

Actually Mo, I was going to comment on your other post but got busy - I don't think it is too bad at all.
Your distance shot was sharp enough just hazy with the smoke.
The closer up pictures look plenty sharp to me.

I think a little more time getting to know the lens would help,2 days of quick pointing and shooting does not work in its favour. Your lens performed better than I expected. _________________ Moira, Moderator

Mo. Greetings from the U.S. I think you've run head first into sample variation and advanced age with your Hanimex. Perhaps Old Hand got an exceptionally good example and you were less lucky. Makina made lenses were usually at the lower end of the price spectrum and consistent quality was not one of their priorities. _________________ In Search Of "R" Serial Soligors

Makinons were at the bottom of the price spectrum and the quality was frequently terrible. I remember the 2.8/28 I had was really bad, as were a couple of zooms I tried.
I expect QC was one area where they cut costs. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Thank you for the greetings, I would reply in kind but I am not sure of your first name...I should know it by now,I have been here long enough.
I guess the build style of both the Hanimex and Soligor is up there when it comes to handling...short and compact. _________________ Moira, Moderator

William. Call me "Bill". It took me a while to realize Mo was short for Moira. I first saw that name in a book set in Australia, On The Beach by Nevil Shute. _________________ In Search Of "R" Serial Soligors
