Hello! I am not a guru, but I am trying something similar at the moment. There is an adapter in eBay for about $150... but I would like try making something by...
Retina/EOS is not an easy adapter to make . In that sense, I think $150 is a very fair price for all that precision machining. The most difficult thing you...
Howdy Gang, I have a question about the Helios-44 58mm lens. I searched the archives and did not find the answer I was seeking. From reading your posts I...
They're all good, but really start "sharpening" up around mk.4 with multicoating and a re- design. The best ones are mk7 and mk8. Mk6 is not bad . If you want...
I forgot to add...if you have any question please don't hesitate to ask! I have studied russian optics up and down. I tried to keep it short for the sake of...
(In reply/trimmed) - The Biotar formula has more elements and is a more complex lens, designed originally up-market from the Sonnar variants like the...
(In reply) - I have 3 working Kiev-10's with the Automat lenses, even the 20mm. Also a couple of Zenit-C and Zenit-3M with Industar-50's and Helios 44's, and...
The Biotar formula has more elements and is a ... Uhhh...the industar is not a sonnar design, it is a tessar design. The tessar/industar has 4 element in 3...
(In reply) - My error - the Tessar is the lower-end model - got Sonnar on the brain because of the Kiev-10 lenses. I have the f/1.7 Zenitar, along with the...
I have been reading as much as I can about these popular DSLRs in order to make the right choice. There is a lot of info to be found, but I'm interested mainly...
Vincent, while I cannot compare 400D and E510, i do use a lot of M42 lenses on my EOS 350D as well as other adapted lenses, notably a Pentacon 300/4 and...
I don't have the Olympus so I can not compare directly. What I can tell you is that I am very happy with the 400D although I also have a 5D. The antidust...
Neal if you have to compare you've missed the point completely. Compared to the nikon and pentax, the contrast sucks... the resolution sucks . the helios-44 is...
i just got a K10D to use with M42 glass. and compared to my Canon 350D (with no split-image screen) the K10D is much, much easier to use. the screen is larger...
Orlando thanks for the interesting post. I have a friend who is picking up a Sigma SD14 for about the same price this week. I'll get him to report-in in about...
Three weeks ago I decided to put one of my macro lenses on Ebay. I have far to many macro lenses and it was the Makro-Kilar 1:2 type (2.8/40mm). The winner, I...
It is this combination of absurd policies and over-priced fees that has me thinking twice about listing stuff on ebay these days, and opting for a local sale...
Thank you all very much for your replies/solutions to "my scam"! I have, in line with most advisors, decided to do nothing as long as no neg. feedback is...

To all who commented on my incident: This morning the buyer of the Kilar reported receiving the lens in good order. He is perfectly happy with it! He had not...
Funny enough I get this a lot. I find it funny because I only buy on Ebay and rarely sell. But I had these mails often and I'm allways amazed by the complete...
I just got one of these 400mm lenses after hunting about a little. Anyone have experience with it? I've got quite a few lenses, but this one has a feature I am...
Richard, I'm not familiar with this particular lens, but I've seen a lot of lense that have a removable filter holder. Pull the holder out, put in the filter,...
Hmm. I know nothing about this lens, but I like a good hunt. So, here's what I found: http://m42.artlimited.net/lens_detail.php?lid=323 says: "Filter size...
Hi Andrew, I have a similar lens (a Konica Hexanon 400mm f4,5). The slot in the back is, indeed, for inserting filters. The purpose of this arrangement is to...
