2016 simply picked up where 2015 ended!
Couldn't pass up on a great deal on good glass.

Konica Hexanon AR 135-f/3.2 EE version (it was a bargain)

Ricoh XR Rikenon 135-f/2.8 (Sonnar derivative)

Yashica ML 50-f/1.4 (Contax cousin)
Yashica ML 75-150 f/4 (really good zoom)

Toyo Optics-Five Star 28-f/2.8 PKR mount (serial# isn't K or L, but 8xx. Hope it's as good as the L version.)

Yashica ML 50-f/1.9 C (delivered today....avoid the "C" version: same optics, but compact plastic body.)

Latest buys are a Fujinon TV 35mm f1.7 C mount lens, and a Minolta MD Tele Rokkor X
100mm f2.5 lens.
The Minolta should be here Monday, hopefully.
The Fujinon later in the week.

Olympus Pen F 1.8/38 about 6 months ago, still not tried it.

Yashica 1.7/32 about 4 months ago, still not tried it.

Both are half frame lenses so only for APS-C or M43.

My most recent lens acquisition, eh? Hmmm . . . I'll have to think. Well, what comes immediately to mind are the following: I bought a Vivitar 3x teleconverter in M42 a few days ago for $6 at a thrift store. Before that, I bought a Nikon outfit that had 28-100 AF-G and 50/1.8 AF-D lenses. Bought the outfit, which included a Nikon N80, for $27, but I've already sold both lenses, so I guess they don't count.

I wasn`t aware of a Fujinon 35mm in C-mount? or is it the Fujian 35mm(Chinese)?

There is a Fujinon 1.7/35 C mount, it's very common. Codes are CF35HA and HF35HA. I have one, it's superb, like all the other Fujinon-TV range.

A Canon FL85/1.8 bought from a fellow member,thank you Sir!

My latest Pentax acquisition is at least as old as I am (but fortunately, in a LOT better shape)!



1957 Pentax Takumar (Asahi Optical Co.) 135mm f/3.5 preset

Oh great, the Fujinons are superb indeed. Perhaps the best line of C-mounts out there. The downside is that a few of them can`t be adapted without a modification.

That's why I have a Pentax Q10. No adaptation needed on any of them.
The downsides are small sensor, and crop factor.

Pentax Q, and Q10 are 5.6.
Pentax Q7, and QS1 are 4.5.

Dropped in by mail today: a mint Tamron Adaptall-2 SP 3.5/17 model 151B.

I'm really looking forward to using this one on the A7, especially after my topic about the Tokina RMC 3.5/17. List price of the Tamron was double that of the Tokina back then, and i must say: build quality of this SP lens is top-notch!

Cheers, René!

Helios-94 (50/1.Cool. Honestly: I expected it to be more compact package that it is.


PostPosted: Thu Jan 28, 2016 8:26 pm    Post subject: Reply with quote

Well, I did not "add" it, because I already had it, but I made is usable by glueing a bayonett to it. Wink

Leitz Colorplan 2.5/90

Wow! That could as well be the best pojector lens I have ever used on a camera.
Need to test that tomorrow at more light.

MEYER-OPTIK GÖRLITZ f3.5/30mm 'LYDITH' - waiting for the postman to add this to my Primoplan. I sold my 50mm Orestor to get this, figuring that the Primoplan covers the 'normal' length.
Time will tell if that was a wise move.

What's special about the Lidith? They seem to go cheap.

Like Dog many of projector lenses are pretty awesome , even 1 USD cost plastic East German Pentacon AV is great lens.
