GUess the lens, if you can :)

Here's a sample picture, JPG directly from camera (SLT-A57) :

Guess the make/model?

[Ken101010]

I'll try. Could it be a Samyang 18-28mm 4-4.5

[Arkku]

I'm sorry but I don't see any unique characteristics in the photo that could be attributed to any specific lens, completely “normal” photo with no obvious flaws or strengths shown.

[CuriousOne]

If it was just "plain photo", I would not post it. So there's certain catch, let's wait, what others will say.

[philslizzy]

Yashica dental eye lens.

[ForenSeil]

I love those games!
But we need some lenses to choose from or at least a few more samples
I think lens is quite wide (at least perspective looks like that for me, but size of the subject might be guessed wrong), rather low contrast, comparably many CAs, mediocre sharpness, overall not very crispy.
Could be an elderly wide angle lens for sure, so (without really knowing that lens) Samyang 18-28 would be a very good suspect indeed
So +1 for that lens

I don't know what lens you used. I know it was shot at 1/60 of exposure in AP mode with ISO 100. The camera has set the lens as T -mount or other lens with unknown f-stop and mm at 0. My guess is this lens is old or has limited compatiblity with Sony.

[Ken101010]

My next guess, a modded Vivitar 70-210mm 4.5

[Lightshow]

I'm thinking somewhere around 28-35mm
My first thought was Flektogon.

[CuriousOne]

Mount has nice register distance, allowing it to use on modern DSLR or mirrorless, but for some reason, adapters aren't manufactured widely (if manufactured at all).

I took that photo at midnight, after finishing mount adaptation, more photos will come soon.

Here is lens itself

ISO800 @ A57 is really nasty:

[SonicScot]

The scalloped grip makes me think it's a Nikon, like a 55/3.5 micro.
I guess the last photo is wide open, it's crying out for some contrast.

ISO800 doesn't look that bad at all, there's very little noise really.

[CuriousOne]

Yes, there's little noise because in-camera NR blurs everything

Photo is wide open, and this is not Nikon lens, not Vivitar and not Samyang This is also not 3rd party/generic branded one.

[philslizzy]

I thought Nikon too. Perhaps an old Rokkor?

Is the fact that the title of the post has a capital U after the G a clue or a typo?

[CuriousOne]

The two capitals are just typo.

The name has two similar letters next to each other, but it is not rokkor nor nikkor.

[luisalegria]

Orikkor

[Ken101010]

This lens is two lenses put together isn't it? I see Made In Japan in two spots. Plus it looks like a release button about in the center of the lens.

[CuriousOne]

Yes, there's mount specific 2X teleconverter attached, and sample photos were shot using it.

It is not Orikkor.

[memetph]

Kikirikiki ?

[Ken101010]

How about Minolta?

[CuriousOne]

no it is not maXXum nor celtic/md

[philslizzy]
