Congratulations.
They look great as a set! And in a nice condition. All with the same mount?
From what years are they?

All the same mount. M42. Maker is unknown and the date of manufacture is probably pre-1970.

Thanks Attila. The 200mm and the 28mm were quite hard to find.

Oh man, what a seriously sexy looking set of glass you've got.

Seems like a long time ago since we discussed the 135 in another thread - I admire your persistence and patience dude Wink

Really beautiful lenses.

A successful hunt there, Dawg, and a handsome group. I'm curious about the 28mm. The length and proportions appear similar to my Soligor 28/2.8 that I think came from Kino. Compare 'em and tell us what you think.

They always remind me of the Tamron adaptamatic lenses, the 28mm in particular but I think it's just a coincidence that they have some similar characteristics.

I agree. I had a Tammy 24mm that was very similar.

Thanks mo. I'm looking at either a 21mm, 19mm or a 85mm f/1.8 preset. Then there is the 90mm Bokina...just wish it were cheaper.

The 135mm then the 200mm. Both are quite good.

Hi there, manual friends.
I recently found and acquired the beautiful 135mm 2.8 chrome nose for 6euros, with what I believe is a broken aperture pin or something of the sort. The lens is wide open, but won't change aperture with the ring, so still workable but crippled. I wonder if there is an aperture pin, or perhaps the switching pin between manual and auto has broken off. I was wondering if anyone had any info about disassembly/cleaning/repair of this gorgeous hunk of glass? Any online resources or personal experience would be invaluable, as I'd love to use this on my Fuji X-T1 and m42 adapter.
Thanks a bunch!

Happy Families eh?

No wayward teenage behaviour in among them I hope?
