What would you hypothetically think was a good starting price of a set of these lenses, all together in same auction:
Lydith 30mm f/3.5
Oreston 50mm f/1.8
Domiplan 50mm f/2.8
Primotar 50mm f/3.5
Orestor 135mm f/2.8
Orestegor 200mm f/4
All in used but good condition. All glasses are fine to excellent. The only damaged one is the Oreston which has a dent on the filterthread. Except for that all work as expected and only some colour fadings/scratches on them. _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |

It's not easy to tell.
I would be able to tell you an average FINAL price for a couple of them:
Lydith 30mm f/3.5 around 30 euros
Primotar 50mm f/3.5 around 25 euros
the above are average final prices for average condition lenses. Worst condition would be cheaper and -guess what?- better condition would be dearer, by some 10 Euros variation in both directions.
The others, I don't know. I am sure Attila knows. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Well all of them came in packs with other lenses. When I calculated the price per lens, I discovered that per item the lenses I got is very cheap, no matter what brand I check. All my lenses except for the S-M-C Takumar 300mm f/4 was all cheapos.
My initial plan was to collect Super Takumars, but all of the sudden I got more Meyers then Takumars/pentax lenses. _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |

To be honest I would not give much for any of them.
These lenses were the cheapest ever made.
I regular see all of them at car boot sales, charity shops etc.
I recently paid £3 for a Lydith Meyer-Optik Gorlitz f3.5 30mm and only bought it because it was with a Industar f3.5 50mm which I wanted for the novelty value. Also included was a Zenit camera £10 the lot but the guy accepted £6. I gave him the Zenit body back but he didn't want it either.
The Lydith is as I suspected a very poor lenswhich I shall never use. The Industar isn't too bad. if anybody wants to send me 30 euros for it I would feel like a crook.
The Domiplan was perhaps one of the worse 50mm lenses ever made.
Yes 10 Euros would be a fair price for the lot, but really I can't see the point of buying them
Please remember I am getting old. I know these lenses from when they were new and they were a joke then. I can't see what has changed. _________________ Pentax K10D & K100D.

See, this is what I am wondering about. People all over talk about Meyer's, yet they seem to go for insanly low amount of gold. So whats the hype about? Looking thru the listings on ebay put some of the Meyers in the same priceleague as Takumars for example, which I have nothing at all bad to say about. And this is also why I am _considering_ to sell the lot to fund more taks ;D _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |

These are fine lenses 200mm f 135mm f2.8 my favourite lenses.
135mm f2.8 has one of the best bokeh what I ever seen and it has beautiful color rendering.

You can not even begin to compare Takumar primes to the likes of Meyers.
When I was a boy a Takumar lens cost a few weeks wages while Meyers were pocket money.
My first SLR was a Practica FX2 and it had the Tessar f2. 50mm lens. I used to think it was great and it was compared to friends who the cheapest Domiplan.
When I bought my Pentax SL with the f1.8 55mm Super Takumar (Which I still use) I could not believe the difference. My eyes were opened. I used the old Tessar as an enlarger lens. _________________ Pentax K10D & K100D. Many Tamron Adaptall SP lenses, Fujinon f4.5 400mm. A loved Lens Baby 2, Lubitel triplet +++ and many film cameras.

Slow down, I am not. Ebay prices are. I said myself, I started out with M42 with the purpose of collecting Takumars. Just happened to get a bunch of Meyers too.
And I agree with you too Attila and Nelson, I like the 200mm alot, the others quite frankly, I have not yet been able to test enough to have an opinion about. My collection grew way to fast to keep up. I decided to start this madness about 1.5 month ago and I got like 25 lenses already :p. The Lydith and Orestor have not yet arrived though. _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |

Good in old lenses we have lot of choices Takumar, Meyer, etc. I sold my Takumars and kept Meyers.I love more Meyer result than Takumar result.
They have place parallel at every photographer need to find right subjects for each. Meyer (Pentacon) 135mm can be a very, very good portrait lens. _________________ -------------------------------

I got a Pentacon Electric 135mm for 2£. Was my first ebay purchase. Sadly it has not arrived yet, its at a friends place, I send all "To UK only" stuff to his place and he pack it all in bigger boxes and dispose of what I don't want to keep. Makes the shipping less painful . _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |
