In those days Paris was quite a spectacular scene of human species came to celebrate the World Cup. A neat Edimar is tested on a custom adapter and with a cupboard diaphragm put on the front, at around f4-5.6.
I did not use it consistently, as I did not have a viewfinder on my NEX what made it difficult to focus under the bright sun. It gives some idea of the lens anyway.
Initially I thought it was a triplet but looking at the results I have some doubts. What kind of optic formula might it be?
#1
#2 Close range
#3 Mid range object separation from background
#4 The lens performs well also in far range
#5 With auto contrast applied colours are pleasantly vibrant
#6 A bokeh test
#7 An interesting "additional bokeh" effect when the lens is not tightly adjusted to the adapter hole
