Due to financial need, I sell my Pentacon Electric 2.8/100 M42 lens.
It is the latest version (around 1990) of the classic Meyer-Optik Orestor 100mm lens.
Sharp performer with the classic praised Meyer bokeh.
Please see description on the shop page:
http://www.mflenses.com/mfl-ebay/Pentacon-Electric-2.8-100-M42-Orestor.html
Price is 110 Eur + shipping.
(EDIT: new low price 100 Euros)

New discounted price: 100 Euros!
I can't really get lower than that, else it would be just given away: glasses of this copy are crystal clear!
I am losing money compared to what I paid for it.

I have three copies from them, none of them trouble free , excellent glass , but built quality was pretty crap. Very rare find this lens.

Beautiful lens!
I had one and sold it to Andy.
Financial reasons otherwise I would've kept it.

This copy I sell works perfectly, I even tested the electric contacts with Praktica electric cameras
(although I doubt that people will ever use it that way anymore).
The aperture automation responds with the speed of light, I never had such a fast performing aperture
in any of my other DDR lenses. Blades are in perfect condition (no oil) and working smoothly.
Glasses perfect, coating intact, and even the internal dust (almost unavoidable in DDR lenses)
is virtually non-existing or perhaps down to micron size.
I doubt that there are many exemplars in this condition around.
Only aesthetical aspect of barrel looks used (paint loss) so maybe not a lens to display on a shelf
but surely a lens to use and take photographs.

If I had the cash I wouldn't hesitate to buy this lens, I really love Pentacon/Meyer lenses and this is one of the best they made.
