Some samples from a small Braun Paxette lens Wink
I use a m39BP-m39LTM converter to get infinity focus

Do you have a source of cheap Paxette -> M39 adapters?

No, I have never seen adapters for this until i found two lenses with mounted adapters on ebay. It looks like the adapters are as old as the lenses.

It's nice to be able to use Braun Paxette m39 lenses. I have bought a handful of them lately Very Happy



Back part is the adapter


I measured it to be ca 15.5mm extension and it matches perfect with the infinity focus Very Happy

i'm surprised at the clarity of these particular lenses. i did not think they would perform so well digitally, plus the fact that they are pretty much usesless in that way without the adapter you have. ive not seen that adapter listed anywhere. great find! and great shots, i really like the cat and the fruit.

Here's an extension tube that should work Click here to see on Ebay.de although it is a bit too expensive to my taste. I've let go a couple of Paxette lenses for 1 Euro, due to no cheap adapter, unknown quality and modest specs. Must be Nordentro's lenses Laughing

Thanks for sharing, I just picked up one of these in great condition cheap, identical to the one you showed. I've mounted it on my NEX with anM39-M42 stepping ring then an M42-NEX adapter. Not sure if this will give infinity as I've read that the Paxette register is anywhere from 44 to 45.42mm, no-one seems to be clear on the exact figure.

I'll try it tomorrow, sure is a tiny thing, my Jupiter-8 dwarves it!

Henry (hinnerker) and another guy at the Digicamclub have produced a small series of Paxette-EOS adapters.

Thanks for the tip Carsten.

I just tried the lens out quickly this morning.

It's so soft it's unusable imho, I struggled to focus the damn thing because it never became sharp. Sad

I'll give it another go, but my hopes are not high.

First one is at min focus, f5.6, second one is at distance, f8. I think this is too soft to be usable, sadly.

Ha! I thought the 90mm F 4.0 Elmar was slow (owned two at one time and loved them)-I guess I was wrong:)

I like slow lenses because they are small so work well with the NEX and are usually very good in IQ, but this one is an unfortunate exception. Tiny, but poor.

It is a portrait lens, soft skin, mmm Very Happy

The Telexon is probably the softest of the Braun Paxette lenses Wink

Nice pictures. And you were able to actually get bokeh out of it.

I have no luck with my Telexon 85mm f5.6, it behaves like a bad triplet, all soft and glow-y. Same with Stable Telon 85mm f5.6 (not sure whats the difference, optics looks the same)

this lens shines on bigger fuji sensor !!

i was not so happy on small aps fuji but for analog look&feel could be good.

there are russian m39 rangefinder extender rings and one of those could work .. but i forgot now measurements

This is very nice. GFX really makes the lens alive.
