Hi all,
A while ago, I discovered I could fit old vintage lenses to my mirrorless camera. A whole new world opened up on me. I've been collecting some lenses over the years, and recently got a lens I cannot identify myself.
This is what I know:
- The front ring reads "SUPRA MC 1:3.5 f=200mm 62Ø No. 703030"
- It's a 200mm 1:3.5 manual focus lens
- It accepts 62mm filters
- M42 mount, auto-pin for aperture
- Weight: 563gr
- It has a "passed" sticker. Besides "passed" it reads "CHK81" and "OOCDQ"
- It tells me it has been made in Korea
- It has either clickless aperture, or (what I suspect), it has been de-balled to be clickless (someone opened it before I got it, the screws have seen some abuse and need replacing)
- Although I briefly opened the thing to see what's wrong with the aperture, I forgot to count the blades
I have done a lot of Googling, obviously in the wrong places. I understand "Supra MC" refers to the coating, not to its make/model. I've found that Pallast Magenta made a "supra 200", but if I look at pictures of it, this is not exactly the same lens. Also, the P-M has a make/model printed on the front ring.
At the moment, the aperture is completely stuck and the focus is very sticky. I am going to open it for cleaning, but it already gives not too bad photos.
Some photos of the outside:

I hope someone can help me identify this lens.
Best regards,
Jorik
