... and lastly the Auto Rokkor PF 100 / 2... |
Cool! Some time after I was able to find the Auto Rokkor 2/100mm shown below, there was a unrecognizable strange lens in a lot of Minolta gear. I suspected it to be the 2/100mm, but wasn't sure - so I contacted the seller and hat a look at it. Sure enough it was the MC 2/100mm! However, somebody else did have a personal look at the set as well, we ended up bidding and bidding - and finally I gave up. Coincidentally, just a few days later, I was contacted by someone who often had been using my website when buying/selling stuff, and he offered me a like-new MC 2/100 with caps, shade, box, manual, original Minolta guarantee, and other docs. To be honest - I was lucky not ho have won the first auction!

Nice! My MC 100/2 has the older orange/amber coating... but the lens looks so much better with the green multicoat! It's the first time I've seen them side-by-side. We can all imagine the price Kevin's Cameras would put for such a pristine set lol. Very, very lucky, but well-earned I might add.  |

Very nice find, now if the lens is free from haze (a dobulet behind the aperture gets often hazy on these and basically impossible to clean) then it s a great find! |

the aperture is a little stiff, but the focus ring is fine and the glass seems clear to me! |

That s great. Mine had a stiff aperture ring too, it s really easy to fix "regrease" that on this lens. |

Thanks,
I will do a separate thread on it. It's an Auto Miranda Bayonet lens that has a removable arm held on by 2 screws. This lens does have click stops.
So depending on what Miranda film camera you use it on, is whether you leave the arm on or take it off.
Miranda has no official name for this lens. In a discussion over on Miranda FB group, Richard came up with the name Auto Convertible, which seems fitting for this style of lens.

Congrats on your find. The tamron mirrors are easy to clean Doc:
-Take off the tripod mount and the ring it mounts on (3 screws).
- Loosen the distance scale ring (5 small grub screws, use a bit of acetone/MEK to soften thread locker, care).
- You can now move the distance scale ring down and focus to close focus, exposing the focus stop - a small square plate held on by two screws. Note the screw placements. Acetone again to soften thread locker. JIS #1 screwdriver.
-Unscrew the helicoid until it separates NB MARK the point it separates. I now use some card around the oily thread and in the front end to stop getting grease on hands, wipes etc.
- clean and reassemble. Note the mirror is back silvered - rub with confidence!

Thanks guys!
I note with interest Klaus' comparison with the similar Rubinar.
IQ seems a little tighter on most of the Tamron shots.
Different renderings though.
The lens came with nothing, other than the sunshade hood.
There are no filters in it at all.
I am hoping I won't have to find a rear filter for it.
I am going to shoot it after I clean it.
Still just shooting film for now. There is probably a dslr in my future.
At present I'm having a lot of enjoyment shooting with things I could only dream of owning way back when...

Note there are two different optics versions of this lens. Yours is http://adaptall-2.com/lenses/55B.html
The later version is http://adaptall-2.com/lenses/55BB.html
Good to keep in mind when looking at galleries.

I do believe it is the BB version....
Kind of hard to tell since both lenses are marked BBAR.
Is the tripod collar the discernible difference?

| model 55BB also discards the earlier model's detachable tripod mount and the set of four filters for B&W photography. The later model 55BB is also readily distinguished from the original model by its diamond knurled rubber focus grip and the lack of the locking screw used on the earlier model 55B's built-in rotating tripod mount ring. Thus this lens does not feature any built-in tripod mount whereas the original lens featured a detachable tripod mount. |

O.K., thanks ~ got it!  I can be pretty dense at times, duh 
Apparently this lens had sat in less than clean storage for quite a while with no front cap on it.
The Zeiss wipes came off pretty grunged up.
I can't believe how long I've gone without a hurricane blower.
The focusing screens and mirrors on both F-2's are spotless now.
Hoping for some sunshine weather tomorrow.
I'd like to run a dozen frames through this lens, at least.
It seems obvious to me that I'm not going to be able to do much hand held work with it, unless there is full brilliant sun daylight.
For those here that have put some time in with this lens and film, what focusing screen works well?
I hate the "K" screen with it already. Will try with the "B" type tomorrow.
If worse comes to worst, I can try with an "E" type, but I think I'll need a magnifier for that one...
