Uhm, my latest lens kit has NO glass!
Hehe, it has FINALLY arrived!
From a private seller in Vietnam, has to be the longest shipping time ever, I thought it was lost.
Wanted one when I first saw it, but the price put me off.
Now, no longer made, I found one used.

It was a bit of a (expensive) revelation that rangefinder glass could be used on my new A7. I know - SLR luddite that I am. So: Heliar 15mm vII, Ultron 35/1.7, Planar 2.0/50 ZM, Tele-Elmar 90.
I just cut my backpack/walk around kit weight by several pounds.

Old Minolta glass is hard to beat when it comes to looks, if you ask me. I don't even have an adapter for it, but couldn't pass up on the low price.

Finally got my first roll of film back from this combo, focus accuracy is fine, looking forward to shooting more with it.

I have been looking for small Tele lens / portrait lens since the longest i have os my Rokkor 58 1.2
I found a voigtlander APO-Lanthar 180mm in mint condition and ordered it.
The same day i browsed Amazon.co.jp and found a Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 125mm for almost half the current Ebay prices... I ordered it without being 100% sure about the shape and it recently arrived in mint condition...
I've also always wanted to try a leica lens and i found a 90mm E55 for an ok price on Ebay and ordered it.
So what's started as a plan to by a tele/portrait combo lens i now have three lenses..
I will probably need to sell one or two of them but i'm really not sure which one, need to do more testing..
BTW FYI i ordered Rayqual adapters for the Two Voigtlanders and i have to say i'm impressed with the quality. Reasonable prices compared to other "premium" brands of adapters.
Anyway, what's this thread without pics so here is one with the 3 lenses

Yes Using tenso.com Have used them for a year buying various items from Japan.. So far no complaints except it could always be cheaper. Usually takes 4 days to sweden via Ems.

Will make sure of that.
I guess it's not often that lens can be tested before buying here in Sweden.. (as long as you are in Stockholm).. If i sell it...
