AKA some Leica very old macro copy or what?

Anybody met this weirdo? Not very useful for shooting macro on Canon EOS, I guess, so what about (at least) some collectors/curiosity value? I might know where to grab the lens.

Hi Marek,

nearly bought one a few years ago, simply out of curiosity. Pre-war version. Didn't think it justified €65. Turned out later, it was the very rare version... Crying or Very sad It had the full Russian words for "distance from object" and "scale". Later versions just had (like yours) P+M. Not RF coupled. That's all ah know.

Oldest versions are allegedly the best but those owners would say that.Reputedly not as sharp as the later collapsible type or later non-macro I10s. If ye get it cheaply, it'll probably sell on for a good price anyway. Smile Wink

This could be mine. Very strange indeed. The price is just around €65. Dont know whether low or high.



Many thanks for your insight.

Thank you my Norwegian friend! Looks like you always know Very Happy !

So, possibly worth replacing "ordinary" Volna-9 from my to-buy list? Useful for butterflies? So nice!

I see. On the other hand, your images made with look good enough to consider. (As always, I value bokeh and drawing before sharpness.) I initially wandered if it's not some kind of unusable below average or very poor performer of "curiosity value".

What adapter would I need, please? (Canon EOS) One of those, maybe?

Keep in mind that if it's a FED or Zorki lens, you won't even come close to infinity using it with EOS.

Youre right! I know, but with purely macro intentions, I believe it doesn't matter (much)

Should I expect range like 0.2 - 2 m or similar?

Nope. Probably 0.2m when the lens is focus at infinity.

Just realized by incident a friend of mine is keeping an eye on item as well, so I'm stepping back not to be a lens party pooper. Thanks for your discussion anyway, very appreciated it. Now I'm even more clever and lens-wise Very Happy !
