I have had a couple of these -

Its a rather fine lens in my opinion. Also a very interesting very early third-party lens, one of the first from Japan, the ancestor of all the Vivitars and Soligors, etc.

Thanks for responding- lovely images-I love the Leica mount version a tad better after witnessing your handiwork-wow.Looks as though I bought a good lens. Was your other one in M42 mount?

I don't think I have seen an adapter in M42,Sony AF or Minolta AF that facilitates for infinity ,just by adding an adapter as of yet.
It does look like the Culminar(I have the 85mm vl-its a sweet lens)-but this is more solidly built:D

Its just a beautiful looking lens-Very Happy
