Nice Attila
I agree this looks very promising. The Rhino eye is quite detailed as Bob points out. I hope you can get the blades cleaned up on this lens. The lens itself is really impressive looking. The front element looks like a f1.2 not f1.4 Shocked don't you think? Smile

I'm glad someone identified it as a Rhino, I feared a self portrait and was going to suggest a good moisturizer.... lol

Seriously, yes I have lots of Konicas and lenses and none are less than outstanding. If only I could use them on my digital slr's without butchery... Sad

I like the flower pic, but the rhino eye is killer!

Many thanks for your nice words guys!!
@Andy blades seems oily like a Russian lens, but works fine so don't need to clean yet. Lens is so beautiful, I will publish some photo later.

@Doug yes it is Konica lenses are top qualities in every aspects.I sold my 300mm Sad that is wasn't smart ...

I love the Konica UC 80-200 zoom. The "UC" stands for "ultra coated" and
the coating is said to be close to Zeiss's T* coating, dunno if that's true,
but still a great lens. Konica is Japan's oldest optical company, according
to Karen Nakamura (Photoethnography).
