There are many more variables when judging the lens, based on published mtf charts, or most home made/web published tests. Measured optical performance and resulting aberrations also doesn’t tell ...

There are readily available adapters - Exakta to Canon EF. Not sure how it is with a mirror clearance for that particular lens but I think it should be ok.

I sold m6 TTL and kept Hasselblad. It’s because founder first name. Cheers, Viktor

Thanks, I have seen a few on eBay, but prices are too high. I am in EU, so for me, it would be also 30-35% more due to the taxes. It will show up, for a more affordable price sooner or later…

😀 I don’t think it makes sense to buy it, even if it would be sharper, except for collectors. But for me, it was a Holy Grail. 70/2 is a challenge, but the target to collect them all, looks more ...

Here is Olympus Pen Zuiko Mirror-T 8/800mm on Sony A7RIV in a APS-C mode: First shot at 20m, second at 15mm (MFD) Standard LR import sharpening, resized in PS. I am afraid that my sample, coming ...

Yes. It’s a very old lens, one of the early consumer mirrors, and as such, it’s nothing special. It was made in a very low number, therefore its recent price (when it appears). I can try tomorrow ...

I have 800 mirror T but without a case unfortunately. I am missing 25/4 which I will buy soon I hope, but also 70/2, and to get that one will hurt :-(  For some reason they are quite a bit more ...

Congrats on Pen F it’s a great little camera. If you have original F, you’ll have to sort out the exposure. Rule Sunny 16 might work, it doesn’t really for me though. I purchased add-on Olympus ...

I’d like to see tilt/shift set of lenses, especially the wide ones.

It’s not that photography is about capturing the reality at the first place.
It has nothing to do with it.
Capturing reality is the domain of the documentary genre and many of...

For me, the only important thing is the resulting image.
Post processing is an integral part of the photography.
To differentiate between genres and techniques is enough to draw the line, no...

You are right, sorry my mistake.

Nice :-) Minolta TC-1 is even smaller, albait not lighter I think. Minolta lens can’t be removed but I am not sure if there are other lenses for that Lomo camera, not to speak about fix focus and ...

Within mechanical cameras, The Pentax MX with Pentax SMC 40/2.8 might be among smallest setups. It is just a bit smaller than Olympus OM-1 and co. with Oly 40/2. When it comes to electronic SLR’s ...

Are you sure it’s 55 f/1.2 and not 55 1:2? I am not aware of Yashica DSB 55/1.2. There are Auto Yashinon/Tomioka 55/1.2 (also as a DS-M version) and Yashica ML 55/1.2 that I know about (I have ...

Recently I don't know, in the original LTM mount, it is scarce. I sold mine for 10K some time ago.
