Finally I scored a Cyclop! Now I won't be so devastated about the Mint+ 40-2 I sold to an Mflenses member a couple years ago
I got it with the entire H3T-1 kit PLUS a Night Owl night vision scope for $100  If I resell the rest, I should be getting a good chunk of that back.
Anyway, I wanted to ask: what are you guys using for a hood (if any)?
I see that this thing flares like a mofo and could use a nice, long hood to minimize it. I tried the CZJ hood that came with my P6 mount CZJ 120mm f2.8 but it can easily be about twice the length.

I have found that mine doesn't perform well in bright light, whether direct or not. For whatever reason, I have to compensate a full stop or more for overexposure, and even at my slowest speed of ISO 100, it is difficult to shoot in bright light as exposures exceed my 1/4000 shutter speed and light areas get washed out anyway. Shaded areas or dim ligt only. So what I'm saying is that a hood is meaningless for me. When I complete the addition of a Waterhouse stop, maybe that will change.

Well, it is an F1.5 lens; if you shoot wide open, I'm sure even my fastest 1/8000s won't be enough. That's why I always carry around ND filters

To me it looks like the "blue coating with projecting rear lens" version but with some M42 extension tubes fitted. I would say NO, it cannot reach inifinity. Best bet is to ask the seller |

I've seen prices all over the board of late, ranging from reasonable to amounts approaching the Helios-40, but that's nuts. What is a fair or good target price these days? I paid about $55 with shipping. Oh, and it came complete with the night vision attachment.
