Nice, do you have a picture of the lens? I'm guessing there might be some information on this lens, then again maybe not.. |
I’m not home at the moment, but i will add the picture later. Just look for Tominon E36 lenses, I couldn’t find anything on the 68mm specifically. But it seems to confirm what already has been established by other users of these lenses: very clean and sharp results. |
Great result - looks very good! Of course this one will be featured in my upcoming article on Tomioka lenses, so you'll hopefully find some more information about its interesting lens family there...
Some additional fun facts about this lens:
1.) It is usually only labelled E36C Japan 68 mm but while both Tomioka and Tominon are assumptions they still don't seem far-fetched overall, given the similarities to Tomioka labelled lenses in the series.
2.) This is the only focal length (at least of the E36 series) which I haven't seen any non-C version (with variable aperture) of yet. It's likely to exist, but still interesting, because I have looked around quite a bit. Perhaps Klaus has one?
3.) The closest of its 'sister-lenses' in terms of focal length are 64 mm on one and 71 on the other side, which might give you an idea how specialized these lenses were for their given application.
I've only taken two shots with this lens:
