I have started the new year with the purchase of 2 Schneider Tele-Xenars ,
1. 360mm f5.5 and
2. 200mm f5.5

I have used the 360 before thats what attracted me back to the Schneiders.
Cheers

Nice, would love to see some results from those! 
No lens bonanza yet for me this year...

Nothing yet, but as soon as I see decently priced 135 and 28mm Pentacon's, then I'll be having those.
Other than that, Nothing I want to have (for now at least, it won't last!), but I'll still keep a look out for anything interesting.

Nothing yet, but the year is young. Still 1 January here in California. We'll just have to wait and see, eh? But what I HOPE for are 1) a hit on my quest for an ultralight (<120g) prime in the 20-30mm range, 2) a Meyer|Pentacon 30/2.8, 3) a Lentar-Tokina 25/3.5, and 4) whatever old European glass I can find cheap.

I need to find some more M39 lenses too, I already have J-8 2/50, I-50 2.8/50 and I-61 2.8/53, all excellent but I also want a J-9 85mm, a J-12 wideangle and another J-11 4/135 as the lovely red p one I bought has a converted mount so I sold it to a friend who will have it converted back to M39. I also hope to find an I-69 2.8/28 as it's tiny and will make a great walkaround lens on my NEX. I have a mint FED-5 but I don't use it much, I want the M39 lenses to go with the NEX for the times I don't want to drag a bagful of big SLR lenses around with me.
Oh, and I need some Exakta mount bits too, a bellows, some extension tubes, maybe a wideangle lens or two if I see any good ones at a good price.

I am finally making my first purchase of 2012. I waited a whole five days! The prize is a small M42 Vivitar (Cosina?) 28/2.8 that weighs about 130g and thus will be the wide member of my ultralight minikit, at least until I find something lighter like the Rikenon XR 28/3.5 Aspheric (70g).

Yesterday, an Olympus OM-2n with 50mm f/1.8 and 28mm f/2.8 zuikos.
Fixed the slow/sticky aperture on the 28mm f/2.8 zuiko, which was easier than I thought it would be .
(just wiped all the excess grease from the parts of the aperture mechanism behind the lens mount, and reassembled everything.
it was so effective and easy that it gave me the confidence to do it to my 50mm 1.4 zuiko as well, both work now )
Running a test roll through the camera to see if replacing the degraded seals is required or if they are still good enough and if the shutter is up to spec. So far everything seems to work. |

They are indeed, but from all accounts they are worth it. I have not bought anything for awhile, so have some ebay money sitting there unused..
I look forward to seeing examples from the SMC Takumar4/200
