Well, I have not yet find any real production Half Frame ( 18X24 ) M42 camera, but I suppose the Olympus Pen-F with the P-Adaptor qualify which is how I did...

... I "heard" that the 3.5/135 CZJ Sonnar is one of the sharpest 135mm primes out there. So optically I guess there wouldn't be much of a step up going to a...
I can say, that the 35 and 105 are real top notch performers. The 135 to look for would be the SMC 135 f2.5 - a fast and remarkable lens. Bob ... From:...
... The Takumars are mechanically better constructed, but if your Zeiss Jena lenses are holding up under your usage, that doesn't matter so much. What may be a...
Do you have any idea how I can keep the pin down on my Tamron Adaptall 2 M 42 adapter when using the lens with my * ist D which doesn't have a facility for...
Gidday, I have been watching this thread with interest. I have a mint condition Fujica AZ-1 and have over the last couple of years been collecting lenses and...
Gidday, I have just reread the previous parts to this thread and had another look at my AZ-1 . I have used Takumer lenses on my AZ-1 on the AE setting in the...
Hi folks, I've just listed on ebay one of the rarest M42 accessories. If you shoot movie film as well as stills, you may be interested in it. Years ago I had...
... The reason is image quality. I am most interested in shooting landscape and want to get best quality possible (and I don't have enough money to go medium...
Landscape is probaby the worst genre for 35mm photography. You cant get good results no matter how much you spend on the lenses. Buy a cheap 4x5 speed graphic...
i might as well add this.. the Fujica M42 bodies/lenses are advertised that you only need 2.5 rotations to mount a lens, vs 3 rotations for other M42. i've...
... I have examples of both the Zeiss MC Sonnar and SMC Takumar 135/3.5. In my view the CZJ optic has a very slight edge over the Takumar in sharpness. The CZJ...
Hi, Does anybody know when Mamiya/Sekor made TL series lenses without the a/m switch? I just got a 50/2, all black, without the switch. All my other TL series...
Anyone heard of one? probably not. Anyway... I've uploaded photos of it into the photos area. Essentially, I've built it to be an M42 automatic-diaphram ,...

Hello: I have the same situation on a 50mm (or is it 55mm?) f1.4 lens. So I am assuming this is not a cost thing. The lens is definutely made this way. ...
If you are really into this stuff, there's a Portragon on EBay, and I own a SIMA - there's also the Pictrol for those with enlargers, but I used to use a...
Hello Roland, Like Barry said, I think the lens was made that way, without the switch. I also have a 55/1.4 and a 55/1.8, and both have the switch. If Barry's...
