The f/1.5 cyclop is a lot better than the f/1.2 cyclop
Damn I had the offer to buy a f/1.2 cyclop for 40€ Very Happy

You'll have such offers again, but probably not for F1.5 Smile.

Looks like a fun little lens. Would LOVE to try it out, but don't think I'd be able to always shoot wide open, and I don't really have money to justify having two fast 85mm's...

Just ordered one of these from that ebay seller, in the "b-ware" condition, fingers crossed it'll be fine! Couldn't pass it up for the price...

There are three tiny screws in the big ring at the back of the lens, remove those, then unscrew that ring, now you can remove the tripod ring.

Thank you Tomas, I was looking for the answer I read somewhere (maybe on this topic...). Wink

I find this lens very difficult to use! The focus ring on mine is extremely loose, so the slightest movement and its out of focus Sad
But I like it Smile

Your copy is better than the one I had. I particularly like the last one.

Here few more with my 1.7/85mm Cyclop. Click few times on photo for max resolution.
Check license plate on PT Cruiser for nice resolving power. No sharpening applied. Very tough sunlight and no hood.
Didn't quite nail the focus on all. Last one especially - included anyway Wink.

I reply to myself. Found one for 35€. Will try as soon as it'll arrive home.

35€. Fair price. Smile
Is it a 85mm or a 100mm you found ?
