When I offered this lens in the (old) marketplace, nobody was interested. So I went out in the garden and shoot some shots with it. Now, I decided to keep it. Wink





Both pictures are shot wide open!

I like them both, but the first is fave, smooth bokeh! My UC Hexanon 4/80p-200 has similar bokeh wide open. The Rolleinar is a definite
keeper! Cool

It was nice to have some time to shoot in the afternoon. Wink

BTW, this day was a day of shooting some extraordinary lenses. A QBM-Telezoom and an old Canon FL lens adapted with a glass adapter, shots here: http://forum.mflenses.com/fd-lenses-on-eos-is-this-normal-t32479,start,30.html

I picked one of these up a while back, having seen this thread. Mine has a fine layer of dust inside, or maybe even haze. I haven't really had a chance to use it, such is the quality of some of my other lenses, so I decided to give it a quick test and pop it on ebay.

I'm actually really impressed! Is it made by Tokina? It reminds me of the Contax Vario-Sonnar 80-200/4.
