Optically nice, mechanically Confused Fully manual aperture, no preset or automatic operation. Ok for digital but makes it a pain when using on an actual M42 camera. Focus smooth, aperture functions ok. I think somebody before me had taken the lens apart. As a lens it works though. Selling for only $20.







Renders nicely and I almost don't want to part with it, but I need to hold out for an automatic one.

No offers? I'll put it on ebay in a few days if nobody is interested. I might get some more sample photos if anybody is interested though.

It would come to a total of US$30, unless you want registered postage which would be more.

Edit to add more photos:

And I tried to capture the flecks on the rear element:

I think this is the typical Schacht coating problem, about half of all the Schachts I've seen exhibit some sort of coating defect, on this one it is barely noticeable and only in the right light.

And a couple more photos taken with this lens:




Full size crop:


I might shoot another one in RAW just to show the best sharpness.

It'll probably be around $10-$14 unless you want registered mail which will cost more (it seems around twice as much usually).
