Just acquired a Mamiya EF 50mm f/1.4. I adapted it through a Fotodiox adapter to my A7RII. I must say I'm more than pleased with the first results!

I don't have any experience with Zenitar, but the bokeh reminds me of the auto yashinon 5cm f/2, only there is more of it with the Mamiya 😊. |

That's a lens I bought when I was around 16 years old Not much later I gave it away when I got the Minolta 9000 plus lenses.
The Sekor E 1.4/50mm is quite difficult to find; actually I saw it only twice here in Switzerland.
The Sekor CS 1.4/50mm seems to have the same optics, but the usual adapters (eg fotodiox) allow only wide-open images ... Stopping down doesn't work.

My Fotodiox adapter for E/EF has a coupled diaphragm. |

Coupled diaphragm only for Sekor E / EF lenses, or coupled diaphragm also for Sekor CS lenses?
I can, of course, mount the CS lenses on my Fotodiox adapter, but the diaphragm always remains open. E and EF lenses work perfectly, however.

What I recall of modifying two CS lenses is with the lever to the camera removed and a spring in the aperture mechanism reversed so it closes, the aperture ring will act correctly on the aperture. They have Canon EOS mounts now. _________________ Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst

Some more pictures. All wide open, non processed jpegs.
Once you nail the focus, the image is pretty sharp @f/1.4. Here's a 100% crop of the last picture:

Very nice. I am collecting Mamiya Sekor SX series. Other than SX and pure M42 series, I haven't started to collector other series partially due to the many mount types by Mamiya. Is this EF the same as Canon's EF mount so a common Canon EF to Sony E adapter will be fine? Thanks. |

@vivaldibow. That’s another mount. There is a Mamiya FE to NEX adapter with aperture control. |

No, there is a Revuenon lens with mamiya fe mount, probably for a rebranded mamiya camera. |

That is the same lens as the Chinon Multi Coated 50mm 1.4. I believe it is an adapted Tomioka design from the 55mm 1.4 It has the same flat rear element. Probably made by Cosina for different camera manufacturers. _________________ pentaxian |

Revue sold a lot of camera systems under their brand. I guess they had a lot of marketing power and a huge market, so it would benefit Mamiya to make such a deal. |

Does the rear element look like it is completely flat? _________________ pentaxian |

If it is not then it is not the same lens as the Revuenon, which is identical to the Chinon apart from branding and colour of the print. _________________ pentaxian |
