Which mount is this lens...
Any idea how is this lens is terms of portrait and nature..
(I think its Vega-12B 90mm f2. |
The Vega 12B 90/2.8 was one of those "sleeper" lenses on my Pentax 645. Equivalent to about a 55mm lens on a 35mm camera. My particular copy was exceptional from f:4 and higher. Okay at F:2.8.
The bokeh is rather a swirl of colors, which can be interesting.
I bought the lens with the intention of trying it out and selling it off if it wasn't worth keeping. But...I kept it, because it is a very adequate lens.
Quality to Price ratio very good.
The "normal" mount for the Vega 12 is Pentacon.
I had VERY good luck using the Vega with extension tubes. The lens is normally very close-focus, so with the extension tubes it was easy to exceeed 1:1.
Here is mine mounted on the Pentax 645 with a Pentacon 6 to Pentax adapter.
