Man I've been slack!

Oh I bought a Pentax Super A with a 50mm f2 and 135mm f3.5 as a present for a Nikon loyal friend Razz

He still prefers his FM2 Razz

I bought a couple of Kirons 105/2.8, they were so cheap I could not resist.

Many thanks.
I have often wondered about using these lenses but adapters seem to be bespoke.
I am very interested to see the results

That's funny. UV Topcors have also been my last ones to complete my collection (100 & 200 mm). So I've all now from 28 to 200mm. Wink
Fortunately I've also the original UV to RE (Exakta) adapter for them:
http://forum.mflenses.com/topcon-uni-and-uv-topcor-lenses-t72496.html

I am also concentrating more on shooting nowadays. Wink
So I am almost cured....

BTW, the UV Topcors are widely underrated. They deliver quite stunning results. I've made also some comparisons betw. RE and UV ones and there is not much difference. Some of those pictures can be seen in the forum as well.

I'm not so much into them, I prefer the "R" or "RE" types much better, but admittedly those are more expensive...

That's exactly the advantage of the UV versions. They are still available for next to nothing. Wink
In that respect they deliver very good quality for the price. My comparison with the two 100mm versions didn't show much difference. The RE version is just a little bit faster (F2.8 instead of F4). For the RE version you have to spend more than 200 Euro and the UV might be available for only 10 Euro. Wink
So the difference in price is much bigger than the difference in quality.

Watch this: http://forum.mflenses.com/uv-topcor-100mm-f4-on-aps-c-t72494.html and judge yourself.
In this thread you'll find also the links for the already tested 28 and 35mm versions.

So am i! Can't wait for the adapter to arrive, may take some time though because it's almost x-mas.

Yes, i have seen those, they came up in my search after i had bought them! That original adapter is a really rare item, i'm glad i found someone who makes a NEX adapter at a reasonable price. I will show it here on MF as soon as i have it.

I did not know these lenses were so cheap before, must be due to the fact that they are not easily adaptable. I think it's worth trying to complete the range as well, they are very well made items. I bought these 3 together with a Wink Mirror S, all like new, for 20 euros. It wasn't my intention to start another collection.... but sometimes it's so hard to say no to such beautiful equipment at these prices!!

My last purchased lens is a Vivitar close focus 135mm 2.8.
No blingbling, just a black one with K/AR mount, to use on my Nex.
Not too easy to handle for me, I have to practice somewhat more to obtain nice pictures with this lens.

I received two more packages today, with a Ultron 1.8/50 and a very minty prominent Nokton. Has expected slight hazing, but otherwise it's beautiful. Too bad I don't have a camera to use it on, it will have to sit on the shelf while I figure something out or decide to sell for decent profit.

I just forgot to bid on a black mint topcor 35/2.8 Sad It went for a little 55$USD Sad

Anyone can help me? I can't open this camera case. Inside lies a Boyer Paris Topaz folding lens.

Do you plan to use it as is, or detact the lens and use on a modern (digital) camera?

Just bought a Meyer optiks diaplan 3.5 80 for only 15 euros. it came with a projector attached Wink
I 3D printed a quick and dirty M39 adapter and tried some shots to test its bokeh:
Here it the first result...

Similar here -- my most recent purchase is a Vivitar 135/2.8 CF, but in K-mount trim to use on my Pentax K-3 -
