Some stuff from the local photo store which would have been gone to the waste ... all for free. Nothing special, but would be a shame to throw it away.

A Sigma 2.8/105mm Macro for Nikon - will be interesting to compare it to the original Nikkor AiS 2.8/105mm and the first Nikkor AF 2.8/105mm (left)!
In addition a defective Nikkor AF 4-5.6/70-300mm ED (stuck in the 70mm position, middle), and a Nikkor AF-S 2.8/70-210mm II ED with AF problems (right).
The latter will be interesting to compare with the original AF Nikkor 2.8/80-200mm and the contemporary Minolta AF 2.8/70-200mm APO (D) G SSM:


Then a fully working Olympus Zuiko 4/75-150mm (left) plus a nice Olympus Recordata Back 3 for the OM-1/OM2 (right).
In the middle the third edition of Pangerl's book about the OM-System. I already had the 1st and the 2nd edition;
the 3rd has quite some new information about then new lenses as well as the OM-2 (middle).



Then a few well known tele zooms: Tamron SP 3.5/70-210mm (left), Vivitar S1 3.5/70-210mm and Pentax A 4/70-210mm (middle).
Next is a crazy no name "Super Tele Zoom" 8-16/420-800mm; and finally the Tokina SD 3.5-4.5/28-70mm which has quite a good reputation:



Finally lots of Minolta MD-III stuff - not so-common accessories as well as the MD-III 3.5-4.5/35-105mm I plus the MD-III 2x-S converter:


As I said: nothing very unusual, but nice items nevertheless!

In the last ten days....Minolta 80-200 / f2.8, Minolta 100-200/ f4.5, Minolta 28 / f2.8......All Sony /Minolta A-Mount


Congratulations! All these Minolta lenses really have some history ...

The MinAF 4.5/100-200mm was made as a small lightweight alternative to the then ubiquitous AF 4/70-210 (which in itself is a legend since its optics were developped in collaboration with Leitz; they are the same as in the Minolta MD-III 4/70-210mm and in the Leica R Vario-Elmar 4/70-210mm). Back to the AF 4.5/100-200mm which is unusual since it not a common "4-group" zoom, but an "optically stabilzed" zoom which means theres no need for a compensator group. Minolta used the same principle for their MD 5.6/100-200mm zooms; they were pretty expensive hat a rather good color correction (better than the contemporary MC 4.5/80-200 or MD 4.5/75-200mm zooms).


The MinAF 2.8/28mm - part pf the very first series of about eight MinAF lenses - was made in large quantities; many buyers got it along with their Minolta 7000 and the standard 4/35-70mm (a surprisingly good itself). The 2.8/28mm optics were the same as in the late MD-III 2.8/28; I think the lens is abit a inferior to the earlier MD-III 2.8/28mm wich was a [7/7] construction.
https://web.archive.org/web/20241210170145/http://www.artaphot.ch/minolta-sony-af/objektive/246-minolta-sony-af-28mm-f28

Finally the MinAF 2.8/80-200mm APO G! Your white version was the second version of the MinAF 2.8/80-200mm APO (first one was black, as was the entire "beercan" series of zooms). It's a surprisingly good f2.8 tele zoom, certainly better than the first Nikkor AF 2.8/80-200mm, and only slightly inferior to its successor, the Minolta AF 2.8/70-200mm APO G SSM. The latter - at least in contemporary (2004) lens tests - was considered the best f2.8 tele zooms available, better than the Canon and Nikon eqivalents. I have used all versions of the Minolta/Sony A mount f2.8 tele zooms - the black 2.8/80-200 APO, the white 2.8/80-200 APO G, the Minolta 2.8/70-200 APO G SSM and the Sony 2.8/70-200 APO G. All of them are really beautiful lenses, and I still miss the two eraly versions which I sold when I got a very eraly MinAF 2.8/70-200 APO G SSM (at CHF 3000.-- it was crazy expensive back in 2004).

Enjoy your stuff. I you have questions about the early Minolta AF lenses, you can check my website (which currently, due to aggressive hackers, is only available via archive.org):

S

BTW your white version is optically identical to the earlier black version. However it is built sturdier, and a especially the limit stops of the lens focusing (at infinity and at MFD) are built sturdier to cope with the powerful AF motor of the late professional Minolta Dynax 9!

I like softfocus lenses and so I bought a Canon FD Softfocus 85mm f/2.8 for a good price in like new condition.

When the wether is more sunny I want to take pictures with it.

I´am curious.

Good finds! A few years back I had a lot of fun hooking up the IR trigger and receiver to a Minolta X-700, the 360PX flash, the Motor Drive One and all the bells and whistles. It felt like it weighed 10 pounds, but actually worked very well. You can see a good example on the Rokkorfiles site. I imagine the IR setup would be used it on a tripod with a prefocused lens. School Prom pictures maybe? Laugh 1

* Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 4.5/18cm (according to SN built in 1912) - lens was rebuilt as a projector lens and therefore is missing the aperture

* Agfa Karat 36 with a fast Rodenstock Heligon 2/50mm normal lens

The Karat 36 is a rather interesing small (foldable!) rangefinder camera introduced in 1948. It was sold with different f2.8 and f2.0 normal lenses, including the Agfa Solinon 2/50, the Schneider Xenon 2/50 and the Rodenstock Heligon 2/50mm.

Here's an image, provided by the seller:


Camera and probably also the lens will need a thorough CLA, but that's part of he fun Wink

I can not understand technically how one builds an accurate rangefinder on a 135 folder? 6x9 or 6x6 maybe but this is so tiny tolerance.

That one is interesting. As well as the various SD SZ-X 70 200 / 80 200 zooms which I consider very well calculated but but no so well built.

Despite a shimmed adaptor my copy of the 28 70 suffers from an uneven field resulting in very sharp images where focus is right but in surprising results on flat fields like infinity. Hope your copy is better.

I own a SZ-X 80 200 that is better to my eyes than the nFD 80 200 L and some primes. However the field is tilted and rotates with zooming so I gave up at the third copy.

So sad that Tokina which had so clever engineers did not made it up to the manufacturing process.

Worth noting that the Heligon and Xenon lenses on these are identical to those used on the Kodak Retina II series of cameras. The ones on the Karat have the unfortunate tendency to be more beaten up, since the lens doesn't retract into the camera when not in use.

The Karat 36 is a well-built camera, but rather a pain to service, in some ways more difficult than their Kodak counterparts, which themselves have reputations for being difficult to service. If you decide to undertake it, good luck!

I knew that back in the days when they were for sale ... they had quite a good reputation, but people here in Switzerland (and maybe elsewhere) often were preferring faster / bigger lenses.

That's exactly why I'm a bit reluctant to publish tests of vintage zooms ... Adapters rarely are precise, and when shimming them to the correct value half of my primes will not go to infinity any more Sad. Will be interesting to compare it to well known peformers from the 1980s, e. g. the Minolta MD-III 3.5/35-70mm Macro and the Nikkor AiS 3.5/35-70mm. Or the later Minolta AF 2.8/28-70mm G ...

I should get one of those as well ...

Same is true for the late Mamiya Sekor E/EF lenses ... Quality control is expensive, and less (or little) quality control was essential for achieving a low production price.

Thanks for this information - I didn't know that!

While some of the chromium plating e. g. on the reind knob has come off, the camera doesn't look that bad. The lens itself has no scratches, no fungus and is npot fogged. The shutter works (slower speeds probably twice as long as they should be), and the aperture is fine, too.

Only problem is that the focusing is completely locked / frozen at 1 m (MFD)! Either something (a small part, that is) has come off and now is blocking the focusing, or - more likely - the grease has hardened to en extent that prevents any movement. We'll see. I'm sure I'm going to dismantle it quite soon - probbaly not completely, but as far as I need to re-establish a correct focusing!

Here's the "new" Tessar 4.5/18cm (which came without aperture mechanism), along with a few other Tessars:



All these lenses came for very little money (or even for free), my "new" 18cm Tessar being the oldest (1911). The 15cm Tessar is from 1912, and the 21cm Tessar from 1914. The 6.3/12cm - a stunningly sharp lens on 24 MP FF, completely free from lateral CAs - has SN 823XXX, a series not found in the common "Zeiss Jena S/N" lists (e. g. here: http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Carl_Zeiss_serial_numbers). Nevertheless it probably was made around 1928 and therefor ist the "youngest" on this image.

Apart from these, there's also a Tessar 4.5/7.5cm, a Tessar 4.5/10.5cm and a Tessar 4.5/13.5cm somewhere in the attic ... Wink

S

EDIT: Interestingly, the 4.5/15cm and the 4.5/18cm shown here are made according to the very first Tessar patent by Paul Rudolph himself (DRP 142294, available e. g. via espacenet.com). However the actual f4.5 Tessar (based on the 1902 patent by Paul Rudolph) was computed by Ernst Wandersleb and finished in 1905. This first computation of f4.5 Tessar pretty soon was replaced by a second version computated around 1911, but patented only in 1917:



This first version had two lenses made from "high" refractive glass (nD=1.63 was among the highest nD available around 1900). This glass was difficult to manufacture and often had bubbles in it. Thus Wandersleb pretty soon tried to compute an "improved" version where all lenses were made from glass with "normal" nD of around 1.5. This second version went into production well before WWI, but was patented only in 1917 (see https://zeissikonveb.de/start/objektive/normalobjektive/tessar.html for details). I don't know whether the above 15cm and 18cm are the original f4.5 computation from 1905, or the later one which was finished in 1911. The 4.5/21cm Tessar most probably is the 2nd computation, though.

This lens completes my silver and black Panagor prime lenses collection. It is the Only one in Nikkor F-mount, The rest are K-mount and M42.
#1 Panagor Auto Wide-Angle 21mm 1:4. It feels very well built to me and big front element.

Interesting lens indeed - which I would have purchased as well if one would have been available locally ... It seems to be a descendent from the early CJZ Flektogon 4/21mm (and the Hexanon AR 4/21 which has a very similar lens section as the 4/21mm Flektogon):


Left: Konica Hxenon AR 4/21mm, right: Panagor 4/21mm

As you can see the Panagor follows the same general construction as the Hexanon AR 4/21mm (and the Flektogon 4/21), but the radii often are quite different ... Would be interesting to see a few test images incl. some 100% crops from a FF sensor!

The lens has already a thread, but no pictures (let alone some meaningful tests ...):

There is also a Vivitar Version sold as 20/3.8


I've ordered an F-mount adapter to be able to use it. Will be here in a week or so.

If you are ever in Munich. https://www.ebay.nl/itm/374949762582 (there may be a physical store ( edit: oh well not really Munich https://maps.app.goo.gl/s2T2WZcykGTh7R136 ). I've had this on my list for ages, but was waiting for a K-mount or M42, which never appear. So I snapped up one from Italy. It was here in two days. Often times the local sellers can't manage that.

Interesting - I can watch that item only if I'm using your direct link. Any other means (like searching for that item or for a "21mm Panagor" on ebay.nl (let alone on ebay.com, ebay.de or ebay.ch) doesn't give any results ... Why ?!?

Anyway, at EUR 140 plus EUR 32 postage (plus customs, taxes and - maybe - anlding / storage fees) the lens would cost me way over EUR 200.--. That's too much; the last superwides I bought were a like-new Konica AR 4/17mm (rubber grip) for CHF 120.-- and an equally like-new (and rare) Minolta MD-III 4/17mm for CHF 90.-- at the local photo store ... But thanks for informing me!

The seller is away until May 9 so it has been been hidden from search. I found it too much too. I paid €70 + €25 shipping. No customs because EU.

One unfortunate problem with this lens is that in almost all examples, the cement in the group second from the rear ends up hazing to some degree. Most sellers don't mention it because it can be faint, but if you look for it, you'll probably find it.

The Viv-branded one mentioned above is much more frequently seen in the wild. Interestingly, the exterior styling is quite a bit more different than one would expect.

It might be slightly hazy, imperceptible with the naked eye. Only notice it a bit with a bright led. If it is then all over the element and not just the edges, so at least the effect if there is one will be uniform. Next week my adapter will arrive and I will be able to test it.

EDIT: said to be a dialyte type (and the totally eight reflections on the lens surfaces do support this) - sharpe than a Tessar, but lower in contrast, and it came on an Igahee 9x12 cm folder which is in pretty good shape indeed
