I bid on this silly little thing. It was a 99 cent start. I bid 5 USD IIRC but no other bids materialized. It was sold "as is,untested" but looked fine in photos. When it came in it turned out to be in excellent shape. It is optically in perfect condition, has some minor scuffs on the alum barrel. It has a 17 blade! aperture. The aperture blades did have a bit of oil on them which cleaned easily with a q-tip and some alcohol. The mount is a 39mm thread with a jam nut. Adapted with a 39 to 42 ring and several extension tubes including a helical m42.
crop.
Decently sharp. I believe it is single coated. But I could find no images of, or by this lens on the web and only mentioned in some histories. as far as text documentation on he web. _________________ photos are moments frozen in time |
