Well the Telewastener 135mm fell through so I consoled myself with a Pentacon 30mm f/3.5; a Lydith in all but name.. Only shot it at 3. 5 so far but it is very impressive..
Currently in the post;
Prakticar 29mm f/2.8 in M42 mount - the Made in Japan version, and from what I gather made by Sigma
An M42 mount E. Ludwig Meritar 50mm f/2.8 (on a Praktica IV)
And finally, a CZJ Flektogon 35mm f/2.8 zebra version I got relatively cheap. |

Thanks.
That shot was straight from the camera, just trimmed the width and resized for posting!
I'm very pleased with it  |

Damn, it feels like a bit of a lottery win day today!
My bank send me a text message earlier this morning saying they're paying me some compensation for messing up my account for about a month. I figure I might spend a little of it on some items I'd had been watching on eBay;
So now in the post, I have;
A Praktica LLC with screwed battery contacts, but with a Zebra Pancolar 50mm f/1.8 fitted on the front of it..
An early silver CZJ 50mm f/2.8 Tessar attached to a Praktica IV
and a Pentacon 135mm f/2.8 which my offer was accepted on..
Out of interest, anyone got an experience of how the Pentacon 135mm f/2.8 compares to the Oreston Meyer versions? (esp since it's an evolution of it as such..) |

Auto Miranda 100mm f2.8 lens. Almost 7 years ago I posted on the forum I wanted one, but wouldn't spend over $30 bucks.
Well I got one for $29 shipped. Also bought a Vintage Vivitar 46mm lens hood that appears to be real close in size to the original Miranda hood. Paid $5.45.

I have that one as well, somewhere in cupboard. Sadly i never tried it on the A7 series, since i don't own the corresponding adapter ...

Yea, the only adapter I have is for m4/3. I never bought the Miranda to Sony E mount adapter.
The big question with this lens is sharpness wide open. I guess we'll see in a few days.

Which one was the first ever?
Anyway, after discovering IF folks at Canon went bollocks and made the focusing on this one outright flimsy.
At times focus ring feels like it isn't connected to anything.

So it's been a bit of a deluge from eBay after winning a couple of camera and lens sets with new additions including
E. Ludwig Meritar 50mm f/2.9 M42 mount, which actually has a metal lens hood to go with it.. It's soo small though..
A late 50s CJZ Tessar 50mm f/2.8 which is mechanically perfect but I think the glass looks a little duller compared to my other stiff copy
A Zebra 50mm f/2.8 Tessar - optically gorgeous, but needs aperture fixed
A Zebra Pancolar 50mm f/1.8 - requiring it's aperture fixed and optically similar to the Tessar
Pentacon Electric 135mm f/2.8 - I got two, but one's got a fungus growing in one of the inner elements. 
An early(?) Pentacon 29mm, f/2.8 - Export version I presume given it's marked "Made in GDR" on the front.
In the post there's an ISCO - Gottingen Edixa-Iscotar 50mm f/2 in M42 mount and one final Praktica job lot including a Zebra Pancolar 50 and multi-coated Pentacon 29mm f/2.8
However highlight of the week, so far as I've not tested a few of the above yet, has to be the Flektogon 35mm f/2.8 I got; It's quite something, especially given how close you can focus..
no PP other than exposure upped about a stop and shot wide open at 1600 ISO on a full-frame. |

Thanks. The special bokeh was the main reason why I had been longing to get this lens.
But for such an oldy it's really sharp too. |

The last one is enlarger's bronze/chrome Componon 180 mm f5.6. I spend all weekend fixing it to the bellow bayonet to fit it on camera. As result I got an incredible sharp lens, about kilo in weight. It needs about 1 feet of extension and the bellow's construction is to flimsy.
At the same time I have fixed El-Nikkor 75mm-f4 on helicoid to Sony. Good, relatively sharp and lightweight lens. It is Tessar design with all it pro and contra.
Componon 180/5,6 on infinity.

Spiratone 85mm f/1.8. The lens seemed to have been opened from the back. I guess probably to repair a stuck aperture, which is a very common issue with this lens. |

The first one is a Mamiya Sekor E 2.8/35mm. Should be a great lens! It's one of the two Sekor E lenses i've never owned myself (the other one is the Sekor E 4/300mm).

Both the IF as well as some Floating focusing lenses AND some "normal focusing" lenses (e. g. the FD 2.8/300mm Fluorite) use some sliding bearings. The plastic material often is completely disintegrated, resulting in lots of play.
