Canon FD 300mm f2.8L
Knowingly purchased with fungus and it is now at the technician for CLA.
I have used it before it was sent for repair and it is a very good performer even with the fungus.
Should be wonderful when restored.

Interesting. Yesterday i found a like-new FD 2.8/300mm SSC Fluorite at a local dealer ...

How did you pay for it, and how much do you expect the restoration to cost?

Gr Steve

Only few close-up shots on D200, I'll adopt it to Nikon-F mount soon. Interesting!

Panagor 35mm 2.0 M42 in good condition.
A Cosinon 200mm 3.5 came with it, don't know if that is an interesting lens.

Excellent work MaXXXic!
I always thought a 400mm is just as good a walk-around lens as any other!

This little gem showed up on my doorstep Friday, attached to a IIIa Canon rangefinder. Came with a viewfinder and case, too. Not a bad performer, eh? Image taken at 1/25 @ f/3.2, ISO 400.

I picked up a compact little Tokina 70-210 SD that was attached to a Pentax MX I was after. I'm putting a roll of film through the camera right now, and I've been using this Tokina. Honestly, I'm not too impressed, just going by what the images look like in the viewfinder. But that's ok, I was after the MX anyway. I'll put it up on eBay for $20 or something just to get rid of it.

I spotted this one very cheap, so I picked it up before looking up its reputation.
It's the lowly and much-maligned, Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Domiplan 50mm f2.8.
Fortunately, it's a "1Q" version. And the optics are good.

Today I got another Minolta lens, nothing special at all, but quite rare to find here in Switzerland: The Minolta MD-III 28-70mm 1:3.5-4.8. The lens is said to be a re-badged third party lens, and its reputation in German Minolta Forum is not the best.

The lens came with a X-300s and the Tokina SD 4-5.6/70-210mm lens, the latter also being an interesting little beast.

More willl follow as soon as i've shot a bit with those two "new" lenses.

Last week i get a samyang 35mm f1.4 as new for only 205euros.
This Lens is so long (easily 5cm more than the distagon 35mm f1.4) and heavy ! a little soft wide open but cheap.

Steve, if you cursor up a bit you will see a Tokina 70-210 SD lens that came with a Pentax MX I just bought. Is this the same as yours? I've been shooting some Tri-X with that MX, using the Tokina for the first selection of shots, and to be honest, I'm not impressed with what I see through the viewfinder. Hopefully the negatives will be better. It is an SD lens after all.

I think you're going to find that little zoom lens will shoot well.
I have their 35-200 SD version which came attached to an OM body. Wide focal range zoom usually suck. But this one was sharp and contrasty. Surprised me. Must be the SD glass. Your 3x zoom should be even cleaner. But of course, I'm shooting digital.

A Canon nFD 200mm f/4 finally arrived from Japan yesterday. I wasn't ready for how small this telephoto prime is. I thought I was mistakenly sent a 135mm f/2.8 lens. What a nicely designed lens!

And I was gifted with three Canon FD lenses on Saturday...50mm f/1.4 SSC, 135mm f/3.5 SC and nFD 28mm f/2.8.

Making for a pleasant quartet of Canon glass.

Happy Cat

Congrats! I suspect you're gonna like that 200/4.

Not exactly a lens but important (to me) nonetheless... and #$#@!?&?$?% expensive !

A pair of vintage Pen-F lenses....

E.Zuiko Auto-T 100mm f/3.5 (lens only), and E-Zuiko Auto-T 150mm f/4 (caps and case).

I wasn't going to buy the 100mm, since I have their 50-90mm /3.5 zoom. But glad I did. Much smaller and a joy to use. Just need to figure out its filter diameter, and see if I can buy a hood for it.

Fresh out of the parcel:

Very rare to find this combo together: Topcon RE both macro lenses with their focusing mounts.
The 135 has a helicoid mount, the 50 mount is just a fixed tube.


You're gonna like them, both very sharp and good to use! I have both, too.

Nothing special, but I have been looking for an early-ish J-8 in good condition for a long time.
There are hundreds out there but most have either tacky corrosion to the aluminium barrel or are showing scratchings in the glass surfaces from cleaning - or both.
This one looks OK to me - just awaiting its delivery and that could take a while.
