Hello,
As promised to Rolf and Madamasu, here are samples of this lens I received. I didn't post sooner because I was waiting for a P6 to Eos adapter, which I got today.
As it is sunny weather, here are some sample shots. Nothing artistic.
There's a dog in here. Don't be afraid... I asked him his agreement before posting his pic here.
All shots were taken handheld but it's far better to have a tripod or monopod. This is a huge lens, but seems as huge as the MC Sonnar 2.8/180mm.
Here it is with hood, compared to Helios 44M/2 on the left, Angenieux 35-70mm f2.5-3.5 on the right.
Now some samples :
1- wide open at f4
2- Stopped down to f8
3- about 20 meters away
4-
5- The dog with its warfff, sorry, warm agreement
6- Chimney wide open at f4
7- Chimney at f11
So, good lens but heavy.
No CA in comparison with Tair-3A. _________________ Olivier - Moderator

Hi Olivier,
looks very sharp and clear too. The dog image is wonderful as well as the pic with the trash can
Congrats for your new heavy lens.

Looks like a great quality lens. I have the Pentacon 300/4, which is apparently a copy of this (I think?). I wonder how they would compare head to head... |

No it isn't ... Pentacon / Meyer Görlitz 4/300 is using a 5/4 design whereas the Sonnar is using a 5/3 design (and is obviously made by CZJ).
Other differences: diaphrag blades (far more with the Meyer) and I think smallest opening being 45 with the Sonnar and "less" with the Meyer.
Also the weight tells the story, Sonnar ca. 1600 incl sun-shade, Meyer 2150g _________________ Visit the Yashica Information Site! |

Yes, it closes up to f45 !!!
It is huge and not too heavy considering its size and construction.
It's quite easy to operate and I like the rendering.
... just wondering where to use it...
But autumn comes with a lot of little birds and animals going around in the country. Maybe I could use it in these cases. _________________ Olivier - Moderator
