Not so common lens to see, and the only Russian C-mount lens I have experience with. Feels a little lumpy for a C-mount, but has a nice build overall. Wink

Its Czech. The cameras had a good reputation when clockwork driven cameras were still state of the art.

Ah, Czech Wink

Bad prepared by me, I just assumed it was Russian Surprised
But still interesting news, what about lenses?
Any other Meopta's worth looking for?

You can find more Meopta C-mount lens I know 3-4 pcs at least , pretty rare I think . I like portrait shoots as usual, nice one.

Hi Nordentro

I was thinking to get those some time ago.
The one you got seems a very nice for portraits.
Anything cropped? or those are the full images from the Pen?

BR,
Stefan

Not the sharpest lens I have fully open, but here is 100% crop by this lens Wink
A positive thing is that it's very compact compared to my other C-mounts in the same focal range and looks very nice on the PEN! Very Happy


I see some in the 300$ range on Ebay, but I found mine to 85$ which is more reasonable price for this lens by personal opinion.
