With an M42 industar 61-L/Z Macro ,I have made flowers shots and two things made me fall on the back: 1/ extremely sharp and detailled images (taken at 5,6 &...
... Industar-61 is a quite common lens, it is a standard for most newer FED rangefindercameras. ... A triplet with the last component made of two cemented...
Hi Guy I've used the I61-L/Z for close-up work. See www.pbase.com/zenit_gems And by the way, the lens isn't really a Macro, it just has extra-close focusing. ...
Guy, I have not trsted the lens- rather, I use mine. I have an older coated version and a newer MC version. These are fine lenses and I use them on the camera...
... To Per Backman ... FED rangefindercameras. I think that for rangefinders it is 61-L/D with a 39mm screw mount. I have heard nice things about this lens. It...
1 MONTH UPDATE!!! Both lenses I had put under the black light are now completely CLEAR!!! Only took 1 month of exposure to my $18 black light. A very worth...

Hi folks, There are two 1,4/55 M42 lenses in local used-gear shop. One is Revuenon lens, while the other is Porst. They go for some 100 USD. Anyone has an idea...
hi borek they're ok lenses I think ... made either by Chinon or by Tomioka. Not worth US$100 though. For that price... look out for the Porst 55mm f1.2 either...
... Forget about them, both. Porst M42 lenses were made by Cosina and are of lowest quality. Early Revuenon M42 lenses were made by Ricoh and are quite good,...
Can anyone direct me to a reliable repair person who will work on old Mamiya SLR cameras? (Besides Essex Camera in New Jersey). Thanks Roland F. Harriston...
hi uwe nope... the 55/1.2 is made by tomioka (its written on the lens).... same company that now makes the Zeiss lenses under sub-contract for contax. It's a...
So Cosina's new M42 camera is official huh. I'll have to wait for the clearance sale, I suppose. Maybe I should add a photo of the bessaflex to our home-page. ...
I am biding on a Exa 1c on e-Bay. Strange (meaning beautifull) look. Something of the Leica R8-9 shape view from top or bottom. Ok, only 4 speeds. Has anyone a...
Guy, I know Exaktas pretty well and Exas somewhat. If the camera works well, it will be a nice little piece. Most of them will use any Exakta lens and there...
I have and use an EXA with metal shutter which is actually part of the mirror, but my EXA has Exakta 3 lobe mount. Exakta flange to film distance is shorter...
I have both an Exa Ia, with Exakta mount, and an Exa Ib, with M42 thread. The Exa Ic is essentially the same as the Ib, but with greater use of plastics in the...
Hi! I was wondering if anyone has a repair manual or some repair information about this lens. The problem is that the diafragm is sticked and i can't make it...
Hi Daniel, I have had similar problem with Biometar 120 (Pentacon Six) which I use with my Dynax 800si. Initially I tried to fix it by myself but soon I found...
Try this: extend lens to minimum focus. Hold base and front of lens and twist in opposite direction. The front element group should come off. If it doesn't,...
hi. first of all it is not a problem with the aperture blades. the lever which transmit the diafragm from the aperture ring does not work anymore. as of the...
