Found this lurking inside a Praktica ever-ready case in a thrift shop: Prakticar by scepticswe, on Flickr
The rear lens shows signs of yellowing, so I suspect it's partially made of thoriumoxide. Unfortunately, I have no PB-E mount adapter so I can't test the lens.
Also, this was sitting dusty and neglected among all kinds of junk. 20 USD and some cleaning got me this: Vivitar Series 1 28 mm f/1.9 by scepticswe, on Flickr

I've had a few lately:
Canon New FD 35mm f/2: love it! Great weight and size savings over the FD 35mm f/2 SSC (concave thorium), a lens I really enjoyed but was a bit too big and heavy to get much use. The New FD 35/2 is light enough that's starting to become my single lens kit, with the Sony FE 28/2 and Contax G 45/2 continuing to be my two lens kit.
Fujica G690BL w/ 100mm f/3.5 lens: Not a purchase, at least not at this point... but I've borrowed a Fujica G690BL from a friend. I had been toying with the idea of medium format, using a Moskva-5 or Yashica 124G as a cheap way to give it a whirl. I remembered that someone I knew was trying to sell a G690BL and asked if I could try it out.
It's insanely large! My first experience with a meterless camera. Just gave the roll of Fuji Pro 400H to my local photo shop, can't wait to see the negatives.
Certainly fun to shoot with, though the size and weight (~4 lbs) is nuts. I didn't realize how much I relied on seeing DOF when manually focusing, either on mirrorless or a film SLR. A lot to get used to.

I picked up my 10th Fuji lens today... The XF 60mm f2.4 macro. On the X-T1, the AF seems much better than I remember it being back when I first tried it, with the X-Pro1.

Most recently I picked up a Pentax 67 and a 45mm f4 and 105mm f2.4. I wanted a super blur lens and a super wide, the Pentax lens system seemed to fit those requirements better than any other medium format cam

Ok, I'll ask: why? Will you use it for stills or video?
Does that lens have anything special over a "regular" Canon 135?

Does this actually work? I'd be really interested in seeing some images produced with this, and knowing a bit more about it. Looks so cool!
