I forgot to mention, a Sigma YS 300mm f4 that's arrived and appears to be in excellent condition- no haze, fungus or scratches. I'm hoping it will be a good example to test and see if it's so bad.



However.... there is something curious about it that I will be making a thread on.

This is getting out of hand.... but





That Dorr is just a rebadged Oshiro 60mm f2.8, which is a fine macro lens. In new condition. Usually goes for a lot more.

The Kiron has been listed as parts/repair due to two tiny fungus blotches behind front element which they circled. Oh well- certainly not worth justifying even disassembly for cleaning!

And finally, how on earth did I land not one but two Nikon 1.5x TC-E15ED front teleconverters!? Wait ages and then two come a long at dirt cheap price. They're abit long to make wide-field binoculars. I want them to experiment with 50mm taking lenses. Seemingly in good condition.

No I don't have infinite money :p The Kiron will go with a 'collection' of Kiron lenses I'm building up to sell. One of the Nikons will go. And the Oshiro might stay even though I have quality enlarger lenses (until I can figure out a decent helicoid that is).

Oshiro might have more of a sweet spot on APS-C than 50mm enlarger lenses? It would be silly to put enlarger lenses in same class of coverage as Cinelux. Maybe I'm mistaken.

If I could find deals like that my shelves would be full! Plus I would probably have more shelf room because the wife would leave me! Lol

Congrats Please let us know how is the adapter! Can't wait to see your photos...


For whoever is interested: I dumped some results in the AF corner: http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic,p,1567581.html#1567581
I'm very pleased with the results of this lens.

I've seen one other 5cm F1.5 Sonnar from this 1932 batch of 100 production test run lenses. That one was the lowest SN 5cm F1.5 Sonnar recorded by Thiele, and the owner donated it to Zeiss. I'm not that nice. This formulation of the Sonnar was changed very early, note this one goes to F8. The Sonnars that stop down to F11 were reformulated. Not many of these were made before being reformulated. Less than my Nikkor-SC 5cm F1.5. Those are my "ultimate Sonnars".






This 1934 5cm F1.5 came in chrome mount. The last 3 digits of the SN was also on the inside of the mount, which is one of the earliest Chrome mounts that I've seen. My 1934 Sonnar made a few tens of units before this one came in the Black ring mount.

I want one of these early Sonnars for a long time. Congrats

I have this Kiev-15 camera with 3 lenses on the way, with the Jupiter 9 being of most interest. I will need to now buy a 3D printer to make myself a mount adapter for digital use.

Lovely. A good in detail review here https://mikeeckman.com/2020/06/kiev-15-ttl-1980/

There's also an official service manual uploaded on the internet, and I've found some recent disassembly pics on one Russian forum to help.

Nice and interesting set! Now only the 3.5/20mm (Mir-20) is missing ... These cameras are virtually non-existing here in Switzerland (even the stuff from former Eastern Germany is scarce, since people here usually did buy Japanese SLRs and Leicas).

These are on the way. Need to buy a larger helicoid or adapter to use them.... Laugh 1

Of course http://forum.mflenses.com/agfa-minilab-lenses-t81794.html was no influence at all! (Just kidding!) Congrats

Yes. This thread remind me Agfa made some projection lenses too. Some of them are pretty rare to find.

but came with a hood, which is good because it has non standard 48mm filter thread. I don't have a step-up or down ring for that. Those seem to go to 46 from 49.

And a new copy of the SMC Pentax-A 28-135mm 1:4. My old copy was very decentered.

There is also a three element version. I have it in LTM

I don't know the LTM version but the SLR version should have 5 elements. I think they put the wrong chart here.
