An eBay purchase that has just arrived. Got it for £15. Seems in good nick apart from a bit of rubbing where perhaps a slip-on hood or filters were ftted.

Focus is a bit stiff but it's definitely nicer to work with that my other Paxette lens, the Staeble Telexon 85mm f3.5.

Seems to be a nice sharp lens... and it's also nice seeing lenses from manufacturers I've not heard of before too!

I had one of these, but it was fungussed up.

Where did you get your paxette extender?

I'd never heard of Braun, Paxette or Staeble until a month or so ago. I won the Staeble Telexon on eBay without really knowing what it was and then had to find the adapter, which I found on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Braun-Paxette-Extension-Ring-to-fit-onto-L39-or-LTM-mount-Adapters/181581020180?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D3dfa3f9b67324fa5a0f76349f817cb9c%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D181581020180

Of course, once you've got an adapter it's hard to stop yourself finding more lenses to fit to it! Hence the Lineogon, which seems to be a much better lens.

The Staeble Lineogon -L-, the same lens but for for Leica screw mount and register, seems to start at about £750 on eBay, so the Paxette version is a real bargain at £15 and £20 or so for the adapter.

I was going to have an adapter made but this is the easy option and places the lens the right way round. A pity the RF flange works in the opposite direction...

ordered one.

I have this little lens too. Quite nice in my opinion Wink

There was also original adapters from Braun Paxette focal flange to m39 RF which I use.

Quick sample from me (more on my blogg)

Sometimes one image is just enough said. Beautiful.

Lovely photo! I saw some of your shots when I was researching the lens and it was partly these that persuaded me to get it. I'm very pleased with it and can see that it's a lens that I'm likely to use a lot.

I've recently also got an Olympus 38mm f1.8 for Pen F and I'm finding that this 35mm-ish (or 70mm-ish on M4/3) focal length feels very comfortable.

Looking at your blog, you seem to be able to get the best out of any lens!

Stopped off on the way to back to work after lunch with the Lineogon on my E-PL5.

the Dejur D1 & D3 used the same mount as the Paxette screw cameras,they also sold the D3 with a wide + tele set in case for camera

Looks nice on the Olympus! The Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 50mm f/2.8 is quite nice too, better than the Steinheil Cassarit and the Staeble-Werk Braun Katagon. Wink

Lineogon is a really nice lens , not the best barrel design , but I still like mine , should really use it more often .
I have the LTM M39 version.
