aperture: village 8 rabbit 4

Hallo!
I got this lens about 2,5€ (shipping 15€) and I like it well. This lens is like new, the aperture-ring is on the front, like the tessar.
The quality is good, the mechanic fine.

Meyer Görlitz (later Pentacon) mades good work.

regards Peter

great photos,
you certainly made a super bargain.

though the rabbit and landscape look great I like the very first two sporting the lens with your K100D best!
(which camera did you shoot those with? )

cheers,
Andreas

This is my "least favourite" lens! Smile

But yours is the newer black version and is certainly in beautiful condition, Peter, so it probably takes much better pictures than mine.

How are you keeping the auto pin pressed in with the M42/Pentax adapter?

I am shooting on a Nikon D3 and would also like to know how to keep the pin engaged. Would really like to shoot it at something other than wide open. Here are two examples from today. It was a very overcast day. Cropped from larger photos.

f2.8 1/250

Hallo!
I have the Pentax K100d Super with 6,1 MP. Before, I had the pentax Ist DL, but the shake-reduction is very fine yet.
The auto-pin is fixed brutally and forever with strong glue. Sometimes I find the spring mounting and can neutralize them, perhaps inreversible.

Yesterday I got a Meyer-Optik Görlitz Domiplan 2.8/50 - a Zebra

By the first try, the borders aren´t good, the center is sharp.
This is the charakter of this lens, the Jena T50/2.8 is allways sharp, the Meyer is lousy on the borders, but sharper in the center.

For Panoramas is the jena the better lens, for supersharp center-objekts is the meyer a good choice.

I like it, and now, I know the weak points of meyer.

Hello. Great tests, very usefull. Thanks. I have both lenses too. In my copies, that i did a long time ago, in the center and the corners the tessar zebra of CZJ is sharper than the Meyer domiplan, zebra too, at all F's. A friend told me that the zebra version is sharper than the last all blacks. And the same may occur with the early versions of the sonnar 135 mm 3,5 - not MC - and the newer MC that is slight minus sharper and have little more vigneting than the first. Some tells that the MC change, in facts, the distance of the lengh between the elements's lens. Regards, Juan

@padiej:
The Domiplan fits optically very well with your Pentax.
And you gave a good estimation of its vice and virtues.
