Hi All!

*Sorry, my English is not very good*

I've been a long time read your forum, but today decided to create a theme.

So, I recently bought a lens Miranda F.C. 135mm f3.5 (M44, 12 blades)

This lens is very different from those I had seen before, it does not look like conventional Tokinas or Tamron.

Maybe there are the owners of this lens and someone can help me identify the manufacturer?

It seems to me that the inscription "Lens made in Japan" is looks not usual as on other lenses.

UPD.: Strange, for some reason not see pictures and links to pictures... Dear moderators, I can not show images?








If the pictures is not visible I give the links:

Really cool lens. Can you please post some pictures from the lens. The maker of the lens is Fujita. Very Happy I need to look for one for my collection. I haven't seen this one before.
The RED FC on the front ring is typical Fujita,also aperture ring, general markings, and the circle with the line to mark F stops.

Also, Welcome to the forum.

Thank you, walter g.

I will try to attach some pictures here, I hope I succeed.

But these pictures were obtained is not quite the usual way, I just leaned the lens to the camera and took pictures.

The fact that the connective thread of this lens 44mm and I need to look for turner to adapt this lens on the Nikon.

Even if will not infinity, it will be possible to shooting the flowers and cats Smile

Although, when I examine the lower part, it seemed to me that there is a stock and can be infinite (but need a turner).

You understand this images the only for test without artistic load (No correction, just as it is from the RAW file, wide open aperture):

walter g, Luis, I guess that's the end of the 50s (about 1957-59).

What do you think?

I'm really not sure, but with that serial number I'd expect 59-60. I'm not sure when they stopped making them.
1957 would have alot lower serial number.
