You know a microscope with objectives can be considered as a whole lens for these two cameras. If the microscope and objective is a rare one, then you have a rare 'lens'. Unlike what you may think, I am not a serious collector of gears. I was only curious about them. I could not afford them when I was young.

Another rare 'lens' (microscope). It is a rarely seen Chinese field, mini-microscope of good quality. It is not one of those toy microscopes. It is pacted in a green colour metal case, so that it could be used by the army in a battle field. It was made in 1971. Those tiny objectives can be removed from the scope.

Thanks! I hope you could get a glimpse of Chinese optical industry in the old days. It seems China gave up some industries completely in the 1980's.
Just now I saw that missle tracking lens still listed at the fleabay, and the seller told us the lens cost NASA the price of a family home! Looks like the price I paid for mine could not even pay for the lens cap. What a deal! |

Matt, These are some higher quality enlarging lenses. This one has 10 aperture blades, and another 75/3.5 one has 12 blades. The 75/3.5 cost 142.80 yuan when new, while a Seagull 4B TLR cameras with two 75/3.5 lenses only cost 120 yuan. The 80/4.5 lens looks far more expensive. |

That photo looks familiar  As far as I know it is a one off, when at the closure of the firm a focussing mount was made for this unused lens head. There may be more of these lens heads produced, but I know of no others. Anyway, as a previous owner I can show you a moonshot taken with this lens:

I think I used a Minolta 2x teleconverter for the apo 400mm telerokkor. Wide open the red/cyan LoCA is fairly pronounced. This combined with its dimensions and weight made it a less than terribly practical telephoto lens for my bicycle-based photo trips.. |

'By GlobalGuyUSA (Apr 29, 2015)
We probably already paid $500,000 for it in U.S. tax dollars.
At this point, it should just be in a public park now -- so that kids can look at stars at night (perhaps time-locking it during the day to avoid anyone burning a hole through their eyeballs).'
This is one of the 235 comments on that missle tracking lens that I just read at dpreview. I think it is a good idea. I could mount mine on the top of a hill in Beijing's western area where there are many mountains with a peak altitude of 2,000 meters or more. Here is a village road of about 100 kilometers west of my home. This is a place Beijing's hobby astronomers often visit to view stars. The image is borrowed from the web.

Show us the beautiful coating colours of your lens, Please. There is a rare version of the Helios-44 58/2 for an early Start SLR among them.

Some rare Chinese enlarging lenses. The one on the right is a rare 82/5.6 lens, and the one in the middle is a 90/4,5 one made in 1961 heavy with a brass tube. I don't remember seen another one of these two.

It's my old portrait lens, before I got the 75 Lux. LTM mount, Canon 85/1.5. A bit rare

Very rare Chinese cine prime lenses made in late 1970's., These are even less seen in LN condition. I have no information of how many were made, probably only a few hundreds of each, and only a handful for those fast primes were made.

Tried my 1000mm F6.7 military mirror lens again this morning mounted on my Olympus EPL-2. The office building is 920 meters away from my room. The images are only re-sized and with auto-level. The other image was shot with the Zuiko 14-42mm at 42mm at F8. I am very pleased with this lens.

Just picked up this mysterious one yesterday.It has zero information on the lens, no-name, no-s/n, no focul length, no aperture blades and ring, but with focusing helicoid. It looks like a China made one from its finishing, and compared with my other lenses, it looks like a 200mm + lens and covers at least medium format. What could it be? A lens for aerial photography?   |

Wow, that's a nice lens! Must be pretty big, eh, being a 1000mm f/6.7. Here in the USA, 1000mm mirrors made by Meade and Celestron are fairly common. About 100mm in diameter, but they're all f/10 optics. I would imagine yours is a good deal larger.

I posted an image on page 2 of the lens side by side with a Soviet MTO 1000A. The lens is actually about 700 grams lighter. I need a digital Hassyblad to fully explore its potential. Here is a front view of the lens. The diameter is 150mm.

I know there are Leica copy collectors, but if you are a Zeiss Biotar copy collector, here is an extremely rare Chinese Biotar copy, a Haiou-64 58/5.6 one made for making computer circuits. A Haiou-64 58/2 is a very common normal lens for those Seagull DFs. This and another rare one for the same applications are recently surfaced. The 30mm F1.6 lens was made in 1975 by Shanghai Nr.3 Camera Factory. They are not mine.

Another rare Haiou-64 version, a CRT lens with a fixed aperture. It is mounted on a Seagull DFAB camera. It is more often seen than a Seagull -71 50mm F1.4 lens. It is probably made in 1970. It is not mine.
