Last week a friend gave me a Miranda Sensorex along with a bellows, closeup prism, and slide duplicator tube. All was in excellent working condition except the lens, which has a bad helicoid. Today I received a smoothly working Miranda 50mm f/1.8 to replace the faulty one. |

I can't imagine why anyone would want to take infinity shots at widest aperture. |
I find this to be a very good predictor of lens overall performance.
Much more so than the shots made closer to the MFD.
Even a lens, which I would consider already unusable at waist portrait distance, will give you a sharp and pleasing image up close. _________________ https://www.flickr.com/photos/curry-hexagon/ |

I'm really bad at posting up my recent acquisitions, but this lens I think is interesting (but perhaps not exotic) and I wonder who can guess what it is. If it's easy then I'll be embarrased. Clues upon request. The 9v battery is for scale.
Clue 1. The tentative steps this new brand was taking at the time would lead to great things, back in the day.

MF lens? By the size of it? The inverted triangle on a stick should be a clue.
Got me a slightly fungussy Auto Mamiya-Sekor 50mm f2 from ebay. Shipping more than twice the price of the lens itself _________________ pentaxian |

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on those two Canon lenses. I have recently begun delving headfirst into RF lenses using LTM and M-mount adapters with my Nikon Z6 and Z7. I read so many praises of the Voigtlander 35/1.7 Ultron, I had to try it. Despite all of the hype, I'm over the moon that the lens has managed to still exceeded my expectations. A few other acquisitions shortly thereafter have been a Leitz 9cm f/4 collapsible, a Nikon Nikkor-Q.C 13.5cm f/3.5, and the CV 50/1.5 Nokton. I've been selling off a number of my vintage SLR lenses as I have just fallen in love with the form factor and incredible performance of these RF lenses.
Had my eyes on those Canons you just picked up, especially that 100mm.
This was a shot I was making for fun - has an also recently acquired Contax Planar 85/1.4 and a not-so-recent Nikon W-Nikkor-C 3.5cm f/2.5 LTM. _________________ David

Great for small product work. Not so much for architectural. It works great on the Spinshot which is a 120 panorama camera that only uses 28mm lenses. They made them with Nikon, Leica R and contax mounts. My friend has the Nikon version but his lens is not in good condition. _________________ Fuji X and Sony A cameras with many Fuji, Zeiss, Leica and other adapted lenses |

It's got to be Made in Japan.... I'm new into komura,Sun ,Accura etc.... Probably that's the way to go, even though lately I'm so surprised that big makers ,in a moment or other,might have tried something like these,at least in small batches....38mm ? |

Outstanding Olivier .
Tokina made, around 1965 on (I'm not exactly sure). It also came in M42.
Early days for Ponder and Best's Vivitar brand, and, I think, early days for general 28mm's? 7/6 seems to be standard fare but 12 tiny blades harks back to earlier times I think. A crossover lens perhaps.
[And I really need to check my lenses are clean before putting any on the site. Lesson learned.]
Thanks for the contributions from kiddo and D1N0 in narrowing the field. |
