Thanks.
I just read the word 'Summicron' and avoid the thread completely Very Happy

What adapter are you using for your nex? your own adapter?
The lens is 21usd, and the adapter is 163??

I am not familiar with kiev lenses (have only p6)

So how many lenses has this mount? is there a website describes these lenses?

http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Kiev_rangefinder ?? will all kiev rangefinder fit in one adapter?

I have a drawer full of adapters, wont make any different with one more Very Happy

Mistake... adapters are very important Smile

The bibble .. Smile J3,J8, J9, Helios-103,J11 these are usable with adapter plus equvvalent Contax lenses
+ Nikon RF lenses.

Amazing performance, seems they copied the Summicron pretty damn well, I can't imagine better IQ than this.

20ukp. Unbelievable, and they are brand new lenses too.

People should be grabbing these like hot cakes.

My copy is on my Kiev ready to shoot tomorrow.

Of course, I won't have nice light like Attila had, but I hope I can get fairly close to his wonderful results.

Smile

Hi Attila

That's absolutely stunning.!! Shocked

I have searched for Helios 103 on ebay - the focal length is f=53mm.

Can you confirm?

Thanks

Seems we have a Helios-103 club forming Smile

Mine and Attila's came from here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lens-Helios-103-f-1-8-53-Contax-Kiev-Excellent-/150827855098?pt=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item231e0a6cfa#ht_3660wt_1340

13ukp for a brand new lens is incredible. 13ukp for a brand new lens of this quality is unbelievable. Grab one!

Unfortunately, not usable on anything I have, which seems to make a case for buying a Kiev RF that I keep resisting.

Attila,
very nice pictures with little soft effect.
Wide open is impressive relatively to low lens price.
My compliments to your gorgeous wife.
She's very beautifull.

And it is really new - even the leather case smells like new Smile


I'd love to have that!

Great lens!

There was a Russian selling a lot of 50 of these about 2 years ago for something like $500, crap I didn't buy them. Smile

#4 has some optical/psychological thing. It looks tilted to right but it isn't (I measured it and it isn't).

edit: the #4 of the 8 stopped down series. You can't just begin numbers again. There is nothing tilted in the #4 of the first series.

Thank you for sharing!
Looks very good.
Bokeh is not as bad as some people predicted. (For my taste not bad at all)

My thinking about bokeh changed a lot, first I did like very smooth only, all busy and mirror like did disturb me. Now thanks for lot of pictures what I saw from many people I think I like all type of them.
