Got this one on Ebay in horrible condition. Looks like it sat on someones mantle (With a coal or peat fire burning below) for years with no caps on it. I sent it off to V-Photo of Atlanta for CLA and $71.00 later it is clean and working well. (The focus ring and aperture Iris were stuck solid.) Pretty good IQ and I like it better than the 300 f/4 Meyer pre-set I did own. About as heavy as the Meyer-Gorlitz but better balanced and better IQ. Hand held photos so take it easy on me!! LOL I'll get better with it. LOL

The Sonnar 300 is a great lens, which is little talked about, but it stands well on the side of the more famous 180.
Sure it is not a lens to use hand-held, unless you are Schwartzenegger in his best fit _________________ Orio, Administrator

I read the article and decided to take a chance on it. It was dirty.

You were the original poster on this lens. I hope my bidding did not interfere with you buying it! In any case I must thank you for drawing my attention to it. Dirty as it was when I received it , it is now a treasured lens. _________________ Big Dawg |

This is oldest Olympic type lens it has worst image quality than latest MC and worst than zebra I think. 180mm Olympic can be outstanding , this one is not just an okay lens. _________________ -------------------------------

And me as well. I'd need Attila to loan me a newer one to compare as the cost of another is prohibitive. PM me Attila and I'll provide an address to send it to. LOL _________________ Big Dawg |
