I found three lenses all are unusual. I will publish photos as soon as possible.
1) Brass Carl Zeiss Jena pre-war Tessar 12cm f2.7 need to fix aperture otherways close to MINT Exakta mount
ser: 660326
2) Carl Zeiss Jena Proj-Tessar 13,5cm f4.5 home made tube but pretty pro work.
Ser: 704432 M42 mount
3) Small black biotar 58mm f2 Red T M42 and no scratches just fungus I have already two or three copies from this lens all was cleaned by sand paper so they are soft. I did make test photos already with this lens this is fine.
So I am really happy now

I did tell already a few times, but perhaps not too boring for newest members. 4 yrs before I had a chance to buy a digital SLR Nikon D50 it was enough cheap for my budget I bought kit lens + a Sigma 300mm zoom. I did really enjoy this kit but image quality was too neutral to me. So I did look around how I able to improve it. No money more for AF lenses so naturally I did try a Helios 44 and a Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 200mm f2.8. I was totally amazed what I seen on pictures, so much better image quality for lot less than what I had to pay for AF lenses. I saw in local shop so many old lenses from 10 USD to 200 USD. Almost nobody would take them ... I saw some old photographers who brought their gear (their spend many monthly salaries to buying them ) and they got almost nothing for them. I would spread information about old lenses , how good they are and I made mflenses.com I bought many lenses I made some shoots and I did try to inform people this is just not right to throw out these old beauties. If they have no value our children can't buy them and use them , because most people not waist their time to sell them on second hand shops , they just throw out them. I though film is gone , but lenses has a bright future.. Certainly I was wrong, film , cameras are same important . If we not support this technology our kids has no chance to enjoy as we can do now. (This is reason why I so interest now about film cameras ). I think lenses are already on right path their price did grow up to valuable zone. 4 yrs before many valuable lens sit on shelf in shops for months , now they sit only for few days ....
Forum was born because I had trouble on other forum (forum.manualfocus.org) when I did link mflenses.com. Orio had also trouble and I did ask him should we establish an own one ? Answer was yes and many founder member did support both forum , many , many thanks for them !!! we could start.
Not many people did like us, like Wikipedia admins make my articles , links as spam ... now it is over with 1000 unique visitors daily this forum is more popular than Wikipedia lens articles
In shortly this is the story. _________________ -------------------------------

I have to admit that this forum helped me a lot during my "road" with MF lenses.
I began with the cheaper ones and one Canon 400D. I was amazed with them and took some cool photographs...
Now I'm an addicted with film gear and old lenses. I love Carl Zeiss and Leica ones and now I already have one Leica R8 that I never thought I would buy when I start...
The next step is to get M system and try it! I have an Hasselblad and Contax 645! I dreamed about this cameras 2 years ago...Thanks to the other lenses I bought I made some money and I'm allways trying new equipment...
The best thing is that I can use them with different results in my photography area...
I loved the photos I took and my flickr as many with the gear I used to took them...
Almost all of them were with MF lenses...

Thanks for everything! All of you guys are great people!
I'm only 23 but who know when I am 60 if I would be here teaching something to the young photographers hehe |
