Very interesting info. The Excite translation aactually does a pretty good job.

Tanackのボディの仕上げは、FEDなどのロシアよりは綺麗に仕上がっています。文字も几帳面に書いてあります。このあたり日本を感じさせます。
ところが巻き上げになると砂が噛んでいるのではないかと思われるくらい重いです。張り皮も剥がれかけています。Tanackは、ボディに関しては日本のコピーライカのなかでは最下位のランクでしょう。 |
That's the important part where it says basically that the camera bodies comsmetics are awesome, much better than e.g., FEDs and other Soviet Leica copies, but the windup sucks donkey balls, and is probably the lowest ranked of the Japanese Leica copies.
Additionally, and more pertinent, their lenses were all supposedly made in-house and are supposed to be exceptional. At the same time, that Ebay price probably includes a lot of rarity tax, so I don't know if the lenses were $200-good.

Interesting looking lens. I think it will look great on my Green Bessa R2
