It looks to me like a Soviet 135mm f4  Jupiter 11.

This is the best grip that I have used to date. You will like this I am sure. The grip part is larger than the Nikon grip and it's made of rosewood with a dark tint. A really nice grip for the price.

I have been using the Nikon grip but never really liked it because of its size and handling. I have been looking for a decent grip for years (since 2013) and have tried several including the Gariz ...

As for bokeh, there will be no difference between these lenses whether you mount them on a Leica or for example a Sony etc.

First of all Sonnar is a Zeiss design and not Leica design. I have several 7artisans lenses, one for aps-c and several that I use on my Sony A7ii. One of their lenses is offered for both Sony full ...

Your choice of lens maker has nothing to do with your problem.

Not sex but beauty. They are two beautiful young women.

Unless you start printing wall size prints, you will be throwing away most of those pixels. Manufacturers know that people get caught up with pixel counts. It is pointless to have such enormous ...

You will not get the Sonnar glow with the Summilux, but it will be sharper at full aperture. The 7artisans will be excellent for portraits if you like that Sonnar glow and soft transitions between ...

I own about 9 macro lenses and they are all good. The Volna 9 is an excellent choice, but any macro lenses from Nikon, Pentax, Minolta, Canon, Olympus  etc etc will give you excellent results. ...

16mp's is way sufficient for even very large prints bigger than A3's. If you can tell the difference between 16 and 24 megapixels, on an A3 size print, than you have magical eyes.

My 50mm Rollei f1.8 is brand new old stock that I purchased on ebay with a Nikon F mount. The lens is in perfect condition. I have two other copies with QBM mounts, one with a bit of focusing ...

I have both and use them on my Sony A7ii. Rendering wide open is similar but with a shallower depth of field from the 7artisans. I use mine with a close up M to Nex adapter which helps with close ...

Ask any expert or do a search on the web; viruses will not survive more than 48 hours on dry hard surfaces.

If any viruses are on your package they will likely die within 48 hours.

Have you tried using just a very very tiny drop of silicone spay (on a toothpick)? Just a thought.

Well Ben that makes me feel much better and normal. I am not sure that you have more than I. Let me just go over what's in my drawers; Minolta Dimage 7i, Olympus E-300, 2x Olympus E-1's, Olympus ...

Hello Ben, Nice to hear back from you. I still have two E-1's and an E-3 that I hardly ever use anymore. The E-1's are not even worth selling for what you can get for them. It's almost a shame to ...

Hello Ben, I am also one of the old guys on this forum, have been around I think since 2004. Do you still use your Olmpus E-1. I seem to recall that you had several of these cameras.

Of course they do. I never said that good framing etc are not important, but the rest , such as bokeh can be equally as important. I am not excluding anything, but you seem to be. A good picture is...
