Images of the lens with a DKL-M42 plus M42 to Sony/Minolta AF mount-all shot @ f4.





This setup does not quite reach infinity, its exhibiting the same problem on different DKL mount lenses -and I need to query the seller about that.

Some images with this lens:
@f5.6

@f8

Thank you

Thanks!

The DKL adapters, for m4/3, are pricey compared to other types, so I have avoided buying these lenses despite their well deserved reputation.

The lens was mounted using DKL-Sony/Minolta AF mount for the next images.Infinity focus is achieved with this mount. All shot @ f4.






Regards

I like it and it is a beautiful lens, you should try getting it to reach infinity.

all these s-k retina lenses are wonderful on m4/3, and still very inexpensive given the quality. only issues are they are slow and have long minimum focusing distance--i remember like 14 feet with this particular lens...also, though great on m4/3, nothing special on my fullframe 5d. wonder if others had similar experience on full frame cam?

Thanks-It reaches infinity now - The DKL-Sony AF adapter is good-thats what I have now.
Initially I started with a DKL-M42 adapter with which I had difficulty reaching infinity.I will be shaving a hairline off the DKL mount-to fix that.

The long min. focus is a drag @times.I have not seen results/examples of it on full frame, it would be nice to see the results from your 5D-are they here on MFlenses?

no, they were not good enough to post, i dont even think i kept them because they were really quite disappointing, especially because the m4/3 results were so good.
