Hello guys. Just wanted to ask your opinion about this Olympia Sonnar 2.8/180 :
According to the serial #2757558 it was made in 1941 year, it's coated version with red T and it has 18 aperture iris blades.
Glass is good for it's age.
But what is strange it has Nikon F mount. I've tried to find similliar version on the Internet but I couldn't. It has different body comparing to other Olympia Sonnars.
And what is curious about It - Nikon F mount? Because it seems it is not adapted and was made on the factory.
Unfortunately I don't have yet Nikon-F to Sony-E mount adapter so I can test it with my Sony-A7 (but I think I'll buy It soon).
But I've try to test it on friends old SLR Nikon D3000 - and It fits well, It focus well on Infinity, so flange distance is really for Nikon cameras
So It could be used with most digital cameras throgh necessary adapter, which is nice.
Anyway, just wanted to ask does someone met such version of Olympia Sonnar?
Because I didn't
Earlier I had few later Zebra and MC Sonnars 2.8 180 for Pentacon Six. |

Looks like someone replaced a Nikon bayonet on it. I did this for several Leica R lenses, and C/Y Zeiss lenses (MM versions, not AEG).
Haven't heard could replace one on Zeiss Jena lenses. I know in some Asian countries, they can change many bayonets to Nikon F mount.

That's not a version of the Sonnar. The optics were housed in a well-made DIY-housing!
Anyway interesting! _________________ my Ebay auctions

Thanks all for the comments. I had some doubts about It, however lens body constructed really well. Glass seems to be original (has many bubbles like old CZJ Biotar's from 1940-1950s), so as the aperture with 19 blades
I've ordered Nikon-F to Sony-E adapter today, so I believe I'll able to test It with my Sony-A7 this week. Unfortunately weather is not so good still here in Kiev
BTW, here are few samples which were made on Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 2.8/180 Zebra P6 mount on Sony-A7 few weeks ago (all at f/2.8 ):
At least I have some samples to compare It with this wierd Sonnar |

That's no problem, I can make few more photos of the lens body if necessary. |

Thank so much...
I believe the main lens part has the same threading in back, so its really a question of seeing whether the custom housing was taken from another lens i don't know about, or perhaps it was built entirely custom. |
