Hello!
I'm quite new to the forum, and now I have purchased my first "real" mf lens. I have a Aus Jena Sonnar since before but it's in bad shape mechanicaly so I don't count that one.
Anyway I bought this with a Zenit-1b body on the Swedish version of ebay for 140SEK (=18$) from a seller that could't say anything about the functionality and condition. But the images looked good so I went for it. And when I got it I was pleasantly surprised that it was in mint condition, except from very little oil on the aparture blades. Perfect working focusing and preset aperture. Yay.
I haven't dared to mount it on my 5dmark3 yet but on my old 450d it works fine. I wanna know for sure if it will hit the mirror on my 5d before I mount it, or do anything to the lens. The last image shows how much it protrudes at the furthermost focusing. |
