Have not use mine for a while because it is not balanced on my old camera. Must bring it out when I can find a right the right subjects for it.

It looks to be in very good condition,what is the glass like? I simply love my XE-1,it's such a lovely camera, simple to use....a bit heavy with the grip, but with the longer lenses it balances out nicely. The rose images are my favorite.

Thank you Klaus.

Hello Moïra and thanks too.
The glass is clear. Some dust points inside but no incidence on pictures so I think I'll let it like that.
Rings are very smooth.

This lens is a pleasure to look at and to use. Smile
I'm pleased with the Fuji X-E1 combo, as well as with the 5D MkII.

Good news,if there is only dust on the glass its worth leaving it alone.

Beautiful lens!

I picked up the black (Zebra?) version Auto D Quinar recently but haven't had time to play with it - I was shocked at how small it is (not much bigger than average 50mm ). Surprisingly it has 5 blade aperture.


How different is it from this one?

Hello Starlights.

Is your Auto D Quinar 2.8/135mm like this one ? (M42 mount, 5 elements, 3 groups, 7 blades, 90mm long, 54mm filter thread, 1,70m min focusing distance).
http://aflenses.net/id/32271/steinheil_munchen_auto-d-tele-quinar_135mm_f28-32_m42_06


It is very different from this silver Quinar 2.8/135mm M42 mount :
M42 mount, 5 elements, 3 groups, 54mm filter thread as yours, but 10 blades, 682grs, 130mm long, 1,00m min focusing distance, preset aperture ring, tripod mount.


Else, here are some other sample pictures.
On Olympus Pen E-P2 (so, equivalent to 270mm) :

Thank you for responding.

Yes, the lens i have looks exactly like the one you posted the link for, except i don't have the hood, and it has only 5 aperture blades. I couldn't find much information on it. Its a tiny lens. I was surprised how small it is when i first held it.

Its been raining here for the past few days and i didn't get a chance to properly try it, however from a few quick indoor test shots it looks promising. I was surprised about the 5 blade diaphragm.

It seems that 5 blades diaph is quite uncommon for this lens.
I cab't find any information on this.

You should open a new topic on this lens with photos of it and sample shots, and ask for more informations.
Maybe forum friends have explanations. Wink

Thank you Starlights.
Very fine sample shots which show well the Steinheil quality.
Maybe we'll have answers about the 5 blades.
