Was looking for this VISIONAR f1.9 200mm monster of a projection lens to complete my VISIONAR collection for quite a while...
and voila today at a photo fair, I saw a just too well known lens silhouette on the next table, while chatting with a nice Olympus service guy ...
so I interrupted my chat, went over there, negotiated a bit, and came back to continue my chat with a big happy grin in my face... Wink Wink Wink



Rainy day today, but had to take a few snaps with it right away...as it is super sharp but with that most creamy bokeh ideal for portraits!!







Quite happy with it so far.... Wink

Yes indeed it was! Well, I hace developed a modular system for those projection lenses a while ago:

and now RAFCAMERA makes and sells plenty of adapters for that, and there is also a 80mm-65mm version
to mount those. Hence why I could make tests shots so quickly after getting home with "my treasure"... Wink
