Welcome to the forum Smile Your pictures won't show up at first (anti-spam measure). PM Attila and he'll unlock your access to upload pics Smile

That looks like a very late Pentacon zoom lens, probably early 1980s and I'm guessing made by Sigma. Please post some pics up once your adapter arrives, I've not seen this one in action yet.

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, MF lenses are addictive. I predict this is the 1st of many you will own.

Which country are you from?

+1 and very, very average or less I was more worst experience with Sigma MF lenses than good one.

It's easier to focus lenses with a wider aperture than this one has.
