I've been looking for pics taken with the Sola, but aren't many on the net, the price for that lens ain't very cheap either , I understand is a multiblades so probably a nice bokeh. Hope you will share some pics , is it a M39? |
yeah the M39 fetches leica prices on ebay! this is the exakta mount but best i can tell it's the same lens (and i got it for $16.50!) .. will clean it up a bit tonight and hopefully shoot some samples with it tomorrow. |

So the Primagon 35/4.5, Voigtlander 135/4 and ISCO Gottingen Westrocolor 50mm f1.9 have all arrived. All are in great condition but only had a chance to get a couple of shots with the Westrocolor so far,
this is at f8 and no PP,
It' a later model and fairly plastic but not as to as bad a degree as as the Iscotar 50/2.8 I've got. From what I gather this shares its design with the Schneider Xenon 50mm f1.9? |

It looks good and though not a red v version has the 1st quality mark on it. However, between long work hours and diminishing daylight hours I've not had a chance to try it yet given how slow it is.. 😭. Its top of my to do list for the coming weekend though.. 😁
Edit: heck it is slow! Tried it in town and admittedly it was quite dark but couldn't get anything near 1/10, and it's soft till at least f8 it seems, not 100% on that given I was at 1600-3200 ISO and the noise/grain made it a bit hard to see just how sharp it really is.. Definitely a bright weather lens.. Or on a tripod at least..

My mistake it's a Westanar.. I've lost track of them a bit tbh, I know I've also got a Westanar 150mm f4.5 but I think another is a Schacht 135mm that needs a CLA due to aperture grease on one of the elements. Tbh they do all look very similar given they're all metal tubes from the 60s essentially.. 😁

From memory I cleaned one recently. I've had poor results in the past trying to fully disassemble Kiron lenses, they seem to like using glue in strategic places. So, generally for a kiron lens, I'll remove the back group (complete if possible) and use carburettor cleaner/degreaser applied sparingly, working the blades the loosen off and hope the heavier hydrocarbons evaporate with the lighter ones. Sometimes several applications are needed. Often after that you need to carefully wipe clean the rear of the lens surface forward of the aperture, with a q-tip or similar, dipped in alcohol or cleaner of your choice. |

I've had mine for many years, and I seem to remember reading something about this problem - I might have bookmarked it? I'll have a look tomorrow. It's a wonderful lens, well worth the effort to repair it. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

Update found the parts manual on Boggys. And added the lens to PF reviews - bit surprised it wasn't there already. _________________ pentax ME super (retired)

That's interesting to know. I have two copies of this lens and both have stuck open aperture blades. Will give it a try. Thanks. |

I don t have the lens, but what i ve learned from working on lenses is that basically all have the optical construction in two parts, front and rear, simply because there must be room for the aperture mechanism which is placed between the two optical blocks. Usually removing the front lens block will give you acess to the aperture blades, my guess is that s what the OP means. Usually that means strarting with removing the front name ring. I will add that it s better to remove the entire block if possible, instead of removing single lenses. Working on the rear block is more complicated,it s almost never possible to remove it without removing the lens mount and all the bits and pieces that engage the aperture, so if it s a simple optical construction (not the case here) it makes sense to remove the single element/elements. In some lenses it s possible to remove both the optical blocks and the aperture as a single piece (Yashinon DX lenses for example).

@ vivaldibow Let me know how you get on. Scrutinising the parts diagrams it seems obvious to go in via the mount - should give ready access to one side of the iris after removing the rear optical block. But it's more ideal to get access to both sides.
@tomasg This lens looks difficult from the front, complex helical structure for focus and zoom, two optical blocks judging from the diagrams...update or maybe not. if I read the diagrams right there is one grub screw and then the whole front block should unscrew. Maybe this is what the poster of that thread I linked to meant. I will try later. _________________ pentax ME super (retired)

It s almost always possible to separate the front optical block from the helicoid, no need to touch the helicoid, i CLA-ed 100+ lenses and the only exception to this that comes to mind is the Konica 45 f1.8, a pancake lens. THough i agree, zooms are more complicated. |
