Yep, loads of blades all nice and shiny! Not sure how it would perform differently to the zebra, do they have different coatings?
Interestingly, the newer electric six blader has a red coating, much like my MC sonnar...

I think the 6 bladed one came in two types, Auto and Electric. I have both...the electric one has a different colour coating...red

wow...I learned something new about my m42 adapter with AF confirm chip. If I hold the shutter release (fully depressed), the shot will be taken immediately when I turn the lens focusing ring and get the AF confirm signal. It improves focusing accuracy BIG TIME! |

Providing the AF chip is accurate for that lens. Mine work ok with normal lenses but are too far out with long lenses.

I recently bought one of these from a thrift shop for $16. I wasn't sure what it was, but it looked cool and I took it home after having seen it there for a couple of months. I did some research on the web later, and then realized it was a M42 screw mount. I have a K-1000 and was going to sell an original K-mount adapter on Ebay, but now I think I'll keep it so I can use this lens. |

$16 is quite a bargain. Is it a preset or a later version?

I don't know anything about these lenses, and not much more about photography in general.
The lens is really recessed. Is this a built-in hood? The M42 mount is removable. Were there other mounts you could get for it?

I was going to sell it, but I'm smitten and I haven't even used it yet(I'll do that tomorrow). Just a few days before I got it, I bought an old Pentax K-1000 kit that included a cool Pentax case, the basic 50mm 2.0 lens, and a Takumar 135 2.8. for $20. I bought that basically for the 135. The only 135 I had was by Aubell 2.8. So I'm going to put the K-1000, and the Aubell on Ebay to pay for the Tak.
Like I said, I was going to sell the Orestor, but I like the almost perfectly circular aperture. The only thing I've seen with a perfect aperture so far has been a beat up Wolensak Raptar copy lens that I picked up months ago which I use as a paper weight. |

If barrel styling differences can be considered distinct types then there are many more; and besides, there is also the B-mount version in different cosmetic (and mechanical) styles.
By the way, the 100/2.8 and 135/2.8 Meyers are called Orestor, not Oreston. |

They are more less same , most people prefer Pentacons due they have excellent bokeh.

Yes. I think the pre-set Pentacon and Jupiter-37 ale excellent lenses and their performance (resolution) is really very close to more expensive products like Takumars and Sonnars.
