It took you three years to get back to it? I started reading the old post as if it were new. I hate when that happens. My 105mm is rare? Have you filled the gaps yet in your collection?

The results look very acceptable to me.

jumbomad: Nice Austin-Healey. Looks to be a 3000 MKI BT7; very close to my heart.

The 105mm Adaptamatic is rare. There is an Adaptall 105mm thats more common.

I do have one of the 105 Adaptamatics now -

I have all the Adaptamatics save the 200-500 zoom, which is usually expensive. I have missed buying it many times.

Some other rare ones -
200/4.5

Yes, same as mine. As I remember, you helped me understand the mount and what to look for when I needed an M42 version. In the process, I got a 135/2.8 that I don't use. The 105/2.5 is very good, but has gotten less use since I got the Pentor and Kalejnar 100mm lenses.

Luis, I received one of these lenses today...are you able to tell me exactly what is missing from the rear of my lens? I do have an adaptamatic 135/2.8 that could donate parts if it came down to that.
