Hello!
Purchased this one earlier today :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/262703277428

Seems to be unused, and the results i see on flicr looks nice!
Has anyone here tried this Russian?
I will be using it on M43 mount; gotta be nice for portraits - 70mm f/1.2
on my Olympus.
Have a nice day! Very Happy

Well, this is for 16mm film, so expect some vignetting.... Wink
Personally I only use projection lenses made for 35mm film, as there is much better coverage.

Thanks for input Klaus!
According to Mike Lee:

“ The lens vignettes on APS-C at infinity focus.  FOV equivalent on APS-C would be 52.5mm and bokeh simular to f/1.8  but with really dark corners.  As it's converted, the lens focuses just slightly past infinity which is fine.  As you zoom in however the vignetting becomes much less apparent but never completely disappears.  The vignetting occurs because the lens has to be super close to the sensor and the rear element is small.  This lens is best used for medium range to close in photography or micro 4/3 sensors should perform well with this.  Landscapes and infinity shots will have to be very creative. “

I usually ADD vignette to my portraits quite routinely - So fine for me anyway!
And it´s got nice resolution also : 100/55 lpmm

“BlueBubble” har a nice collection on flicr; probably shot with Sony E mount :

OK, great for you then Smile

It is 100/55 lpm (= 50/26 lppm) and that is theoretical, expect half of that on sensor Wink

This is one of my fav fun lenses, I would say it works pretty well for portraits too if you like the heavy vignetting look.

For me i get the most fun out of weird lenses, a breath of fresh air from the norm and allows me to be more creative in my hobby.

I totally understand though Laugh 1

Yes on my a6000, i always carry this lens with the 16KP-1.2/50mm and alternate between the two.
Such fun and creative lenses.

Were you able to adapt the lens to micro 43? I tried using an helicoid but the lens has to be really really close to the sensor to focus, and the helicoid doesn't allow the lens to get closer to the sensor because of a small prominence it has...
