Minolta MD 5.6/250mm RF mirror lens.
Surprisingly sharp, better than the Minolta RF 8/500mm (no CAs, less vignetting).
And at CHF/USD/EUR 100.-- a real bargain which i couldn't resist

Wide open the depth of field is razor thin so it can appear soft all around the focus area. But the focus area is sharp. Shoot at a different f/stop and it will sharpen up rapidly. 2.8 works for me.

I picked up a Tamron Adaptall-2 500mm SP F8 55BB mirror lens a couple of months back in really bad condition. It cost 3000yen (the equivalent of about $30 USD).
It was literally crawling with fungus.... Front element, main mirror, a little on the secondary mirror, rear element, middle element.... and a de-lamination starting on the rear element.
A couple of days ago, I decided to see if I could improve things!!!! Opened it up, cleaned it. Still a touch of fungus in places I couldn't get to, and no way to fix the de-lam. Could not get the surface perfect on the front element.
Anyway, here are the results. Sony A7, no photo-shopping, no contrast or saturation adjustment.
Notice the donut style bokeh to the right. The best part is that there's absolutely no CA anywhere. The contrast is good.

I think this was worth the money !!!!!! |

Beautiful results.
Good on you for seeing the potential in this lens.
Money well spent indeed.

Congrats on your good fortune. A couple years back, I picked up a Tamron 55B (the first 500mm mirror) for a good price, only to find that there was some delamination occurring in the group adjacent to the secondary element. It was all sealed, so I wasn't able to get to the spot where the delmination was occurring. It had affected about 30% of the surface.
In my case, this delamination severely affected performance, so I'm glad to read that you've escaped this fate. It's a great lens, btw. I own a copy as well.

The Soligor is going right back on sale, the Pentax is a definite keeper. I'm not sure yet if the MD50/1.2 will replace my MC50/1.4 (I already have the MC58/1.2).

The lens is not perfect. There was some fungus which I have mostly removed. That's the reason it only cost 20,000yen (about $200 USD) |

Got another new to me lens yesterday. I bought on Ebay a Sigma 100mm EX DG f/2.8 macro lens. Cost was $200.00 plus $18.24 shipping. Very good price for a lens that had been used to shoot only around 300 photos. Lens is as new. My K1 kit is almost complete. A good review here. http://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/sigma-105mm-f2-8-ex-dg-macro.html

Fungus or not, that's a great price, I've seen those sell for beyond $1000.
I'll go wipe up my drool now...

Yesterday I bought Mir-1B 37mm f/2.8 lens in good condition for 15€. Serial number starts with 94, so the lens is made in 1994, right?
Less than a month ago I bought Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar MC 180mm f/2.8 DDR for Pentacon Six mount for 100€, that price included 86mm protection filter and Canon EOS adapter which I believe is quite expensive. My copy of this lens is also quite new, possibly made in the late 80s or early 90s and is in almost mint condition. What a beautiful lens, and a great deal!

They are very similar optically to C/Y. One (ZE) is native Canon EF mount, the other (there are actually two of them, ZF and ZF.2) is Nikon Ai-s/Ai-p. After that the differences are mount-related: metering, aperture control, focus assist. |

Hexanon 24mm 1:2.8
Together with a recently acquired very early (chrome nose) FD 2.8/24mm and a Zeiss CY Distagon 2.8/25mm it should make a nice update to the earlier 24mm test published on artaphot...
To be published soon

Latest additions are a rare 58mm f2 Takumar early pre-set (Sonnar-1964) in very nice condition and an 85mm f1.8 Auto-Takumar.
The 85mm f1.8 Takumar came in it's original box, with brown leather lens case,original front and back caps and is in mint condition.
It was an extremely good buy from MW Classic in London.I had been looking for this lens for ages.

I picked up this Minolta MD 35mm f/2.8 on Ebay a couple of minutes ago (39€ + shipping), I'm pretty sure it's going to replace my MD35/1.8. I don't use 35mm much so I can't really justify keeping the 1.8 (it's selling for pretty hefty prices right now...). The 35/1.8's aperture ring jumps from f/1.8 right to f/2.8 (why, Minolta, why?) and the 2.8 is going to be sharper from f/2.8 onwards anyway.
Btw, my freshly acquired Minolta MD 50/1.2 is already sold off again. I didn't quite see the point in keeping it, the MC50/1.4 handles better (same size & weight, smoother and lighter focus ring) and the MC58/1.2 has better bokeh (the 50/1.2 may be just a tad sharper at f/1.2 but the extra 8mm just make more of a difference).
