Hi,
Looking at the mount, it remembers me the old Adapt-A-Matic lenses, although they were finished in black, AFAIK ...
This is the second time in a few months that a similar lens shows up on eBay ...

It's quite a nice looking lens compared to the more usual sea of black.
I don't have this specific lens but I have a 38-100mm and an 85-210mm in the silver finish, I always liked the way the distance scale is on transparent perspex, it contributes nothing in terms of functionality but it looks nice!
I would expect this lens to have pretty good images quality, 135mm is a focal length that is hard to get wrong.
Of the zooms, the larger one is quite good but not a show stopper and the smaller one is ok stopped down but has some crazy flare issues wide open, I'm convinced it would make a decent portrait lens because everything looks so dreamy!
I have to say that this lens is very overpriced though, you would find one cheaper on a normal non buy it now auction, it's just a matter of waiting for one to pop up but they do come along every month or so. |

Yep, I just need to get around to it!
Or I might just take some samples with each and post them in this forum along with a few shots of the lenses themselves. |

Actually, the price he's asking for this lens isn't as looney-tunes as some of his other auctions.
But the seller is beside the point. I began this thread because I was curious if the lens was a prototype, or perhaps a pre-release item. I know that there were a few production models in silver finish, but silver finish with a serial number 5? Too bad he didn't post more photos. _________________ Michael
