Any idea what mount this might be? It has to be one of these, at least I think.
Someone was so kind to describe all the mounts to me but I just can't find it searching |
The barrel has the metric M25x0.5 thread. It is identic with the thread of the old tiny Compur 00 shutters.
Threre are adapters available to M39 to use the lenses in every enlarger.
Durst and other enlarger makers offered lens panels for the M25mm thread in the past. |

Thanks arri! I found the knurled beauty ring on a 50mm from an Argus C-3 fits the front filter threads on the tiny Componon lens. So I have it reverse mounted until I get an adapter. _________________ ~Jon |

My first Vivitars arrived this morning. When I was shooting film, the few photographers I knew thought they were all junk, and so I also heard from any of the camera shops I visited in Asia. Fast forward to today and we have many opinions, reviews, tests and inspection, plus a serial number hit list for who made it.
So watching out for SLR lenses in my typical mount, I came across two that meet two of my desires. I would have been more hesitant and researched a bit more, but they costs peanuts.
24-70mm f/3.8-4.8, said to be very good at wider angles. I was looking for something between 20 and 24mm. This one looks like new.
75-260mm f4.5, was looking for a zoom that get's somewhat close to 300mm prime for hand held. Also close in weight! This one might fit the bill, although it's slower than my 75-200 or 80-210. Excellent condition.
Adapting to an APS-C, and 30 years older, hand held past 300mm is a no go. 300mm is questionable. _________________ ~Jon |

No it's the E, I initially bought a Fujimoto G70 on ebay and won the auction for 99p. When I got there I gave the nice lady £20 extra and she said there's a load more stuff as well if you want to take it, 3 box fulls later and an Epsom V600 as well, the lens was in the bottom of one of the boxes with a couple of enlarger lenses and a 105mm Tessar in compur from I think a Contessa! |

Dr. Staeble Munich Polyplast Set 10x15mm (4x6")
A rare large format lens from Dr. Staeble. It is a lens set with 125mm, 165mm, 205mm, 235mm and 270mm
Inkl. the three special yellow filters.
Lens with a Koilos shutter.
Round about 110 years old, perfect glass and an excellent working shutter, already x-synchronised.
Can be use for 5x7" when stoped down, each lens has 250mm image circle.
The rear cells keeps in the shutter, only the front cells are for changing with a special bayonett mount, only a quarter turn is needed to unmount or to fix the element.
The rear element is an anastigmatic corrected and fully cemented four element lens with 16/270mm.
The front cells are fully cemented two element groups.
I can´t await to make the first pictures with this great lens, I used one over 20 years ago, this lenses are very old but a pieces of excellence.
It is a pity that only a few complete sets are to find. The most Polyplast lenses you can find are the shutter with the rear cell and one front cell or only the front cells in a box.
There are different versions of this lenses so it is not so easy to find matching pieces.
So it were really a great and lucky find to get one 100% complete. |

Of course it's a 135mm f3.5, a 150mm f4 and a 200mm f4.
Will end up being about $190 US freedom dollars delivered.
And yes I'm most excited for the baby sized 150mm f4.
Probably should have just got one of those to be honest.

There's the older 150/4 with 5-4 optical scheme, and a later one with 5-5 scheme. The last one is better (excellent really). Do you know which one's yours? Here some image examples of the latter:

Yes, all three are 5-5 -- First edition Gerjan and Takumar Guide are both wrong about the first version being 5/4 even though Gerjan shows the correct 5/5 optical diagram. Second edition Gerjan is corrected. The later versions are real sleeper lenses -- inexpensive and excellent as caspert79 shows in link above. _________________ ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮ like attracts like! ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮

Oh I thought all the optical formulas in the Takumar range(s) more or less stayed consistent until they started playing with K's.. Now how good is this place!
Lens is certainly a Super Takumar, and pictures indicate it has "AUTO / MAN" on the barrel next to the switch, (can't see behind the switch) and shown serial is #3209435, so might be the later variant.
Lucky me? |

I blink and now ebay is sending me a bunch of Super Takumars, all of which I've had about twice, and sold twice, third time lucky.
Of course it's a 135mm f3.5, a 150mm f4 and a 200mm f4.
Will end up being about $190 US freedom dollars delivered.
And yes I'm most excited for the baby sized 150mm f4.
Probably should have just got one of those to be honest.
Stupid wonderful place. |
All great lenses, as you would already know.
There is also something about Takumars in use that is a sensory addiction and tactile joy.
Splendid engineering

Best engineering I ever came across in any lens to be honest. I probably have or had 30 Takumars that I just blindly bought of the internet. They were all without haze, fungus, stiff mechanics or stuck apertures. Problems that I encounter frequently with Nikkors, Canons or other 'A' brand optics. |

I've had two maybe three 60+ years old with slightly stiff focus rings -- not a stiff as DDR -- and same number with oily sluggish blades. Stevemark says Minoltas have better construction -- I don't have any to compare so I can't say I agree or not. The Super-Multi-Coated lenses together are the pinnacle of metal lens engineering imho. Also the optical consistency make for phenomenal video lens sets which render alike. _________________ ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮ like attracts like! ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮
