Rolleinar 135/2.8 MC (Rollei-QB)

Click here to see on Ebay --> 16GBP / 29.60USD
My max bid was 41GBP and I was expecting it to raise when I went to sleep but when I woke up I just saw that it was ended with with price that was when I had slept: 16GBP.
Not enough photos but he said: "All surfaces are quite clean, no fungus or scratches that I can see."

I call this is a steal and very hapy right now cause this is one of the best 135/2.8 lenses out there as Paul states and I'm adding the test results that show that it is near the Contax performance and better than the much more expensive Leica (150-200USD), Nikon, Canon and Pentax. I can sell this one in Turkey or can use with a crop body that I'm planning to buy or a New-year present for my friend Smile

This is probably one of the not well known great lenses.
My first test shots, all indoor so not great colors, you can check the shapness which is great and nice bokeh. They are all full resolution RAW to 100% quality JPG files:

A lens that performa as well as a Elmarit 2.8/135 cannot be a bad one!
Congratulations!

P.S.: Where did you get these interesting test sheets from?

Paul had scanned from his magazine archieve and sent me (I've bought 4 Rolleis from him via the forum's marketplace), he said that there were more but they were in the attic, hard to reach Smile

Ah, OK. Thanks. Let's hope that Paul uses a Saturday afternoon to get these magazines from the attic. I would even pay him for interesting tests. Wink

Congrats Yalcin!
I took my 5D and Rollei Distagon 35 out with a mirror disappointment.
If you remember we had conversations about adapters.
The 35 worked very well with the adapter that does not find infinity.
The one that does find infinity the mirror hits the lenses housing within 2 meters of focus distance. Sad
So I think the best idea is to have one of each adapters for use with wide lenses.
The Rollei lenses seem equal to the AE contax lenses. It is nice to see you take advantage of the low cost and high value Very Happy

Yes, Nikon D. It looks like your mamiya lens because are the same lens (same design).

I had the rolleinar (mamiya) 2,8/135. Very good lens for me. And now I have a mamiya 2,8/135 TL version and are the same lenses too.The rolleinar more contrast, no more.

Rino.

Wow... Very Happy I actually have that Mamiya somewhere, It's just a lens that I've forgotten about... Smile Have to finish that conversion! I'll try to do it this weekend... If it's really this good then I can drop the purchasing plans for the Contax 135/2.8. I think I actually have an old testpic, with the lens just held in front of my Nikon... Wait...

Found it...! Very Happy

Here's a testpicture, lens is handheld in front of a Nikon Body. Now I remember why I kept it... hehe.

Thanks a lot Aykman Wink
I got an invitation from one of the biggest pc related internet sites of Turkey that wants to open a photography section to be an editor and wrote the first one with a caption "Using MF Lenses on DSLR". The best part is they also formed a translation section and all the stuff will be also translated into English Wink I'm planning to write basic experience based reviews of both AF and MF lenses, and also some general things like 'Macro Photography' and 'Concert Photography'.

Gratulations, Yalcin!

Today I bought approx. 60 issues of the german COLOR FOTO Magazine and 35 FOTOMAG issues from 1976 -1981. If I find some useful information about Rollei Lenses i will post it here.

cheers

Ooo! I won't say no to the scans of the test pages Smile
