Hi, Folks, Has anybody done a comparison between the three ultra wide angle lenses, Mamiya/Sekor SX 21/4, Yashinon DS 20/3.3 and EBC Fujinon 19/3.5? Are they ...
I've never used that lens but i'm going to say a definite Yes anyway. Glass lenses in this range are generally good performers, even inexpensive ones, and a...
... I had the impression that it was the contrary. That cheap long teles had lower contrast and a bit less definition than very good brands like Takumar. I...
... Gee, who will be able to do this? A comparison between magazine tests would be interesting also. I only know that the first one can be found (& at around...
... there are macro extenders (three pieces of different lengths) which can be placed between the camera and the lens to increase the working length. ... ...
Hi Andre, Excuse my ignorance but the Mamiya SX and Yashinon lens you wrote about...are these good or bad league lenses? :) Cheers Jag24x ... performers, ... ...
... Good, like Tamron lenses. Takumar are very good. All these are better than cheaper brands but there may be exeptions. I base my judgement on published...
To list moderators, (PentaxUsers, K-cams, ClubM42, Spotmatic & camera-fix) From another list I've learned that this new "SpamGuard" Yahoo has introduced...
I have just bought a Japanese made Kalimar 400mm f6.3 screw fit lens (Was £69.99 but I haggled and got it for £55)that I assumed was an M42 screw fit, until...
... =========================================================== If it is a manual or preset aperture lens, it is probably missing the T-mount adapter that...
If it is not a Miranda mount then I believe it fits a Kalimar Reflex camera, using 120 roll film, 6X6 image size, or a Fuji 2 and 1/4 reflex or a Reflex...
Film cameras are getting nearly free! I just got in the mail a beautiful minty Pentax KX (one of my favorites) w/ a 55mm 1.8 lens & case for $75.00 I paid...
Not a Reflex Korelle, they use 40,5mm or, in later models, a bayonet. Per ... ************************************************************ The PHOTO page; ...
Hi all I have just bought a mint condition Mirage Auto Reflex 135mm f2.8 m42 lens for just £5 for use on my Sigma SD10. I have not been able to find out...
The big problem with a 200mm lens is camera shake. You must use at least 1/250sec hand held and preferably 1/500sec. This limits you to almost wide open unless...
The newer they are the better and more likely to be multi-coated. But beware, I bought a 44M-6 and it does not work with my Zenit 12XP. It has a rim at the...
Those lenses were sold by TOE in the UK. Extremely bad designed mechanically, because a spring is responsible for closing the diaphragm and that causes trouble...
Hi list! Kevin, remember me asking about a L39 Cassarit? Well...what came in the post was a M42 Cassarit! I really don't care, as I did not have any 100mm lens...
Alf, Congrats on the lens. There's a lot of 135's out there, and most of them are pretty good. I've been meaning to get an f2.8 or something faster, as my SMC...
I am most intrigued by this! For some reason it hadn't occurred to me to put m42 lenses on DSLR's via m42 adapters; funny, because I recently bought an m42...
... I will soon be able to use Canon FD lenses, along with many others on my SD10 thanks to D-shell: http://www.d-shell.net/ They only make their adapters for...
I got my S2 yesterday. I've shot with it using manual focus Nikon-mount lenses (even with the Kiev Arsat ) and, ***M42 lenses****! The J-9, was its usual...
Which m42 adaptor are you using for the SD10? I have an SA-9 and the kit lenses that came with it are not particularly sharp or fast (nor does Sigma sell any...
