Hi,
I'm new here, but this site has been really useful in my quest for MF lenses.
I've searched the this forum and since I didn't find any information, I've opened this post.
Does any one here have any experience with a Porst 50mm F1.8 (M42 mount) ?
The only review I found was this one www.wholesaledigital.co.za/porst50f1.8.htm
Can any one give me some more information ?
Thank you in advance,
Raul Costa |

Welcome Raul!
Porst was a mail order house in Germany , they did order from different manufacturers and sold as own cheap brand. So don't expect much.
This lens looks made by a Japanese vendor I can't identify maker, I expect maximum avarice quality. _________________ -------------------------------

Do you have crop or ff-body. I think it might hit mirror on ff. _________________ MF: Kodak DCS SLR/c; Samsung NX10; OM-10; Canon T50

Hi,
I have a Canon D60, an Olympus E-300 and a Sony A200 (all with M42 adapters). So I don't think I'll have a problem with the mirror. |

100% crop without any other PP.
PS - I really need a M42 with Focus Confirm.
I'll post some pictures after, but I do love the lens and for 9 euros I think it was a good deal.
Thank you all. |
