I've noticed people getting caught up with the names of the expensive and famous lenses and ignoring the others
Not to say that the big and famous ones arent expensive and famous for a reason or many others
Can anybody guess what lens gives this output? Is this an expensive lens? or is it one of the €10-20-30 lenses?

I suspect the zoom guess is correct based on your comment, but I would have guessed a 24mm or 28mm, not thinking zoom. Since it appears you are in Europe somewhere, I won't say Vivitar or Soligor. But if is a zoom, I have no clue. I might have even guessed even a MIR 37mm. Very difficult, isn't it!!! _________________ Regards,

"Very pretty girl btw" - shall let the gf know of the compliment
@Tharos: crazy isn't it! Maybe this lens does have a coating
Don't be shy dear friends! Come on and throw some guesses! Though there are people with a brilliant eye, I don't think it's possible for somebody to know each and every lens and this is just for some fun! _________________

Yes, and I approve of the exercise. Any time I've tried it, I've had very little response. I figured people don't like to be wrong - or risk saying something contrary to their previous statements.
There were a couple of shots that I thought might have been from a24mm-35mm lens, but I now back away from that as most pictures seem to compress the background more than a 35mm would. 135mm may be a good guess, but only a guess. I don't think any of us are really good enough to be so sure. I'm still thinking something from the Russian or GDR production. Did you say if any images were cropped? If the flower was a 100% crop, it's not too impressive. _________________ Regards,

Well I don't think you are a Canon fd, Konica, or Kiron, Vivitar, Tamron zoom.....type of man, so that just left M42 for my guess.

That's a fair bet for me, but I'll go for a Vivitar Series 1.
I recognised the Alte Brücke at Heidelberg too! I remember watching the fireworks over the River Neckar from a little downstream of there in 1986. _________________ Peter - Moderator |
