How do you like the adapter? I've thought about getting one. |
It works and that is pleasing.
The housing (from the Kiev camera) which includes the helicoid, is held in place inside the Fuji mount with small allen screws and these can work loose in use, and need re-tightening from time to time.
Also one has to be careful not to rotate the helicoid completely out of its mount, as there is no stop at minimum focus. The helicoud is coarse and wobbles a little in use because of fairly large tolerances between the threads. This is a legacy of the original camera design and not the fault of the adapter. A Takumar it is not
Other than that, it works quite well.
One reason to like it is that I can use the Jupiter 3 and Jupiter 8 on the one mount. And they are cheaper to acquire in Kiev/Contax mount.
Also the splendid Helios 103, which is a cracker of a lens

Thanks for the info. That's very helpful. I saw you posting about how much you liked the Helios-103 and the Jupiter-8M.
The only problem is, if I get one of those adapters, I'll have no choice but to acquire more lenses to fit it! |

Unfortunately I do not own this one but I have red on your site numerous times your test of the 28mm Minoltas which is very instructive. _________________ Lumens Pixel

Yes. There is hard stop at 1.5 meters but when you push the focussing ring forward it engages macro focussing and you can get quite a bit closer. This works at any focal length. To get in the normal range again just pull it back when you hit the hard stop again. _________________ pentaxian |

Hahaha, somebody does
It's known as "stack of primes". One of the best Pentax prosumer zooms ever.
I used it, and its Pentax-A 70-210mm sibling (also with fixed max aperture) for travel photography, at a time, and in places, where the equipment was subject to a lot of abuse. Both never failed me, and the image quality has always been more than satisfying.
I always had a few primes with me, and two or three bodies, but there were times when a zoom came very handy.
For the record, my wide angle zoom was an uncommon one: the Variozenitar 20-45mm. Another very good zoom for its time _________________ Pentax Bodies: 6x7, K2, MX, LX, Super A, Z-1, K-1, K-5 II, K-01, K10D, K200D

You should tell us more about the VarioZenitar. I have been interested in this lens which is quite expensive now. Maybe you should open a thread about it. _________________ Lumens Pixel

I have the 70-210 as wall and the 24-50 F4 so I'm good.
Got snubbed again today by a seller holding out a carrot. (Takumar 58mm 2.4 starting at 1 yen but retracted in the last minute).

I will.
Good idea!
Give me some time. I am testing a few other vintage lenses, next will be the Calejnar 2.8/150mm in Kiev 88 mount (fortunately I found in my possession a nice K88 to M42 vintage soviet made adapter, which will be stuck on the lens for good ).
When I'm done with a few others waiting in line, will be the time for the Variozenitar

It's the last Takumar I bought!
I find it beautiful... I'm in love with early Taks and Auto Taks.
Unfortunately it's stuck in Thailand with fifty or so other lenses, some of them quite valuable and many of them particularly loved and appreciated. Can't go back because of covid _________________ Pentax Bodies: 6x7, K2, MX, LX, Super A, Z-1, K-1, K-5 II, K-01, K10D, K200D

I have an early chrome nose Sekor 1.4/55mm that's the siamese twin of a Yashinon lens.
So yes, at least the early ones are Tomioka's _________________ Pentax Bodies: 6x7, K2, MX, LX, Super A, Z-1, K-1, K-5 II, K-01, K10D, K200D
