Another Tamron 103-A.
This one is in much cleaner internal shape than the older version I got a couple of years ago.



It came with a very nice factory hard case.





Not sure what mount this is. It's the first un-marked Adapt-All-2 mount I've ever seen. Anyone here recognize this system? Kind of curious as to what it is.

I'll get a couple of hurried sample images up later.

That zoom is a real piece of work

I don't know. There was a post here a while back with a similar Tamron mount that was marked "for canon EF".
Definitely not EF~ there's no electrical contacts.
Not a lot on this in on-line searches...

Very Happy

I wonder what is the most common mf-lens?
I had at least 4 of them.

Tamron did manufacture a Canon EF mount for the Adaptall II range allbeit without electrical contacts. They appear on eBay occasionally for highly inflated prices. Third party manufacturers supplied them too, I have a couple which look identical to me to the original Tamron.

It looks to me as though you have a M42 to Pentax K adapter attached to a Pentax ES Adaptall mount.
ES is M42 with added hardware for open aperture metering. The M42 to K should unscrew - unless it's been glued on.

These are from my own stash:

Canon did make fd-mount EF camera https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF_camera that predates the EOS-EF mount system.

That definitely looks like a winner! Wink Wink
It doesn't show well in my photo, but there's an M-42 type aperture signal pin on mine.

Thanks for the info!

Very nice. I've often wondered about those early LTM Funjinons, but I've never considered trying to acquire one because they're so rare and pricey.

I've yet to test it ....

I'll take it out this summer

1st part of last "batch" Rotelar is amazing, have its flaws (forward heavy, 2.4m minimum focusing distance,..) but overall it's very good. Jupiter-8 is, well, Jupiter-8 Smile need to find donor Industar 26n/61 to adapt it

Yashica ML 55mm f/4.
It would be interesting to compare with my copy of ML 55mm f/2.8.

#1


I got this Piesker Tele-Astra (lens is not tele) doublet type long lens with non-helicoid focusing system. It had a couple of small issues to sort out, it would not focus to infinity correctly, which didn't take too long to fix.

#2


It's not the sharpest long lens out, although it may be one of the best looking. I have tried two very similar lenses in the past from Piesker with an Exakta mount, these would hard vignette due to the restrictive mount dimensions. Fortunately the M42 version doesn't do this.

#3


The flowers are my neighbours place across the road, about 25m away.
