Sankyo Kohki Komura 1.8/100 Uni M42, preset, very first shots
Wide open - shallow DOF, better then average
but look what is going on @4.0
to compare, similar picture taken with UV Nikkor 4.5/105 (not mine, borowed)
This one arrived in bunch of other lenses, the most important between them: Fuji 3.5/55 Macro, Noflexar 3.5/35....
Everything cost me less then Flektogon 2.8/20. And everything is in M42... _________________ Cheers, Voytek |

Regarding size and weight it can compare to newer line of 2.8/135 lenses, a bit heavier then Pancolar1.8/50 zebra and a bit bigger then Vivitar 2.5/28. Smaller then Tamron 2.8/90 AD2. This is rather small lens. I do not know is this information valuable.

S/N 65506
Lens was discussed here before: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53934
I've found the results on my Spotmatics very pleasing, but the nearest distance isn't very close (1.4m/ 4.5ft). It's a very short and lightweight lens for a fast 100mm. It's about the size of the early postwar Biotar 75/1.5, which wasn't particular heavy.
Probably the 100/1.8 is an Ernostar design, like most fast telephotos made by Komura. I've just seen a diagram from the 100/2.0 which was made in 1964, some years before, but looks very similar to the 100/1.8 from outline.
All of them seem to be in small S/N range of about 65,xxx-66,xxxx. Probably production was ~ 1,000 or lower. _________________ My flickr Gallery

My Komura 100/1.8 is serial number 68xxx, so there's probably more than 1000 made.
The rear element is really large, but far from the lens mount. I suspect that the Exakta Unidapter mount I have on it for use on my Topcon "constrains" the light somewhat, due to the small "throat" of the Exakta mount. |

Very interesting. Some might remember I recently purchased an INA 180mm lens that we knew very little about.
