I was a little surprised by this one. It turned out better than I thought it would. Couldn't find anything out about it on the net though, anyone know anything about this lens manufacturer or brand?
6 blad iris, oof aren't too bad. Reasonably sharp stopped down. Some CA, but not the worst I've seen.
Anyway, shot tripod mounted, iso 100, in camera NR, no sharpening, only WB adjustment from grey card in post. Sorry, taken on crop sensor -1.5x

CIMa KOgaku did a steady business as a maker of private label lenses through the 70s and 80s. Lentar, Focal and CPC are three that come to mind, though all three also used other suppliers.
The rear of the lens has a distinctive screw pattern for attaching the mounting flange to the body of the lens. While not user interchangeable in the sense of Tamron Adaptall mounts, a little skill and some small screwdrivers can be used to change that mount from one camera brand to another.
Adequate image makers. Nobody swears by them but nobody swears at them either.

Ahh. Thanks for the info!
I would have to agree about image quality. It isn't bad, but it isn't great either. |

ALL magnon lenses were cimko lenses
Vivitar 28-50 was a cimko lens
Quality was medium/low but another big problem of cimko lenses was they did not have the dof preview button (om and m42 lenses)

Yes, I have the same lens (bought very cheap). It's certainly not the best 24mm on earth, but it is an adequate performer.

I'm not sure. It doesn't look like most banksia I've seen (different flower structure). I do find it pretty though. Those flowers are huge ~ a good 15-20cm, and the stamen (?) is really unusual. Feels just like some creature's fur! |
