Enna München Ennalyt 4.5/240mm 2 out of 4

[Pancolart]

Wide open samples on 5DmkII. I have 4 lenses of the same type. I choose 2 best of them.
Different weather for each though second specimen a bit warmer. Kids are my daughters.

Despite many criticism i am sure if this lens is healthy it produces very usable output.

First sample:















Second sample:

2nd sample is better in my eyes because it seems slightly sharper and it doesn't make your children cry

Nice sets! Images have a nice vintage look, bokeh is interestring and the colours look OK. Bit low on contrast, which I guess it to be expected from a lens of that age. Many thanks for sharing

i find them ver pleasing, and i'm surprised by the sharpness and color. may i ask if this is an m39mount adapted to m42? the reason i ask is i just yesterday bought one that was listed as m39 and now i'm wondering if its a true m39 or one of those made for the old m39 zenits that really are m42 lenses...

I rather like mine; just a simple long M42 tube with glass at one end. It will be my lens-of-the-day in a couple days; I'll see how it picks out faces from crowds on the streets and flea markets in Santa Fe NM. I doubt these were ever made as M39s for Zenits. AFAIK the Russians never captured Munich.

Thank you!

I have all 240mm in M42. Recently i have found rare 2.8/135mm version with native T2 (cool for Nikon users). Can't say about your m39.

[rbelyell]

yeah, there are several m39, or at least claimed m39!, on ebay. mine said specifically m39 leica.

after a tad of web research i'm wondering if the m39 claim is not just a mislabled t mount. in any event, one 'm39' ad made it clear this was not a rf lens, as i thought, but m39 for the bunch of zeinit like m39 non rf cams...

not what i thought when i bought it as compact tele for my ep2, but hopefukky it will yield results like yours, esp first set, which i consider quite good.
