Nice gear but you really need the metal finder with the 21mm f4.

Aha! I certainly wouldn't complain about a plastic finder with the quality of that lot.

Never heard of it before! Prices are indeed high, just like the Minolta 5.6/250 mirror. Are you going to post some samples?

I might take it to the local zoo for some bird images, but I guess a Tair-3 300/4.5 could do a better job? |

Couldn't resist picking up one of these 600mm f8 vivitar (tokina) bazookas.
I needed to clean a bit of fungus off the rear group so unscrewed the focus helicoid to get at the optics. But this is not a simple but a double helicoid - oops, I think I am going to have an interesting time trying to get it back as was!

Oops, persevere Marcus.
Perhaps the reason for the double helicoid is so the front element doesn't rotate? Which is actually everything north of the focusing ring in the case of that lens.

Yes I agree, and also to multiply the effect of the focus ring.
The big difficulty will be in getting the distance scale to line up.
Another acquisition: old 1960's tamron preset t-mount 200mm f6.3. Got it with a motley bundle for negligible price to add to my tamron presets collection.
Luis: have you got/had this one? I couldn't find anything with search.

Strictly speaking, Marcus, that lens isn't a preset. It's just a manual aperture lens. A preset lens, in order to be a preset, has to have that second aperture ring.

Today I did a quick and dirt comparison with my Jupiter-21m 200/4 from my home window just to give you an idea. The jupiter-21m was set at F5.6. The 1st image is shot with my old OM EPL-2 with the zoom lens set at 42mm for image size comparison. The images are resized to 800x600, and also some 100% crop images for both lenses. The building is about 900 meters away.

The Mamiya Sekor C 4/145mm SoftFocus did arrive yesterday morning, really a nice lens !! Very well made, and in pristine condition. And guess what i found in the evening?? Another soft focus lens ... which, in its conception, is quite the contrary to the Mamiya: The Tamron SP 2.8/70-150mm Soft Focus Macro. Like new as well:
The lens feels nice, it has the size and weight of a classical 4/80-200mm zoom, but an additional "Soft Focus" ring. Focusing goes down to 98cm, which equals 1:4.6 at f=150mm:
And today, in a charity shop, someone was just unpacking shortly arrived stuff when i discovered this one:
The red ring in front of the lens as well as the prstigious white color implies a bit an "L" lens, but no such writings can bee found

Michael Reichmann (luminous landscape) says the quality of the lens is quite limited:
https://luminous-landscape.com/solid-cat/
Can you confirm this? Or does his conclusion come from his rather difficult setup of f11 lens, manual focusing on a dark SLR viewfinder plus film (missing focus accuracy)??
Thank you for any information!
Stephan

First message in the forum!
I have just bought three lenses. Actually, they haven't arrived yet...
- Yashica ML 135mm 2.8 C.
- Canon FDn 85mm 1.8 with original hood. I have to pick it up tomorrow from the postal office.
- Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm 1.4 C/Y MMJ.
Best, I will receive my new Sony A77II the next friday. So, along with my film cameras (several Canon, Yashica and Contax ones), I will be able to enjoy my small lens collection in a FF digital camera.
Saludos! |
