Sure, it counts. I have a nice little Olympus 35 SP, with a 42mm f/1.7 G.Zuiko lens attached.

Do the Sima SF come in specific lens mounts, or is it generic, needing adapter?

A couple of like new Canon FD'n primes. Both from 1980.

The 50mm was the first ever lens I owned when I bought a Canon AE-1 in 1982. I've come full circle to it nearly 30 years later.

The 100mm was the lens I wanted for concerts and portraits - but could never afford

I ended up swapping all my Canon gear for Nikon, as there were plenty of affordable used short teles available in New Zealand back then.

It is T mount, so pretty generic. I bought these lenses for $15 and I feel like I wouldnt want to pay any more than that for them.

Last night I took a chance on A Nikon 105/2.5 AIs.
Looked very clean with late serial and one owner from new.
150GBP which for the UK is a fairly good deal, just need to wait for it and see if it was worth it.

I should be receiving a S-M-C 105/2.8 within a week.

Still looking for a OM 21/3.5, none here, and the bay only has BIN sales that seem a bit high...
If anyone spots one for sale, PM me please.
Prefer blacknose MC.

My Zeiss ZE 21mm just arrived today. I have a feeling I may be re-purchasing some more Zeiss lenses soon.

Purchased about a month ago (I think) - see what happens when you buy too many lenses? :P You can end up not being sure where they even came from. But I'm just now putting it thru it's paces - so I guess that qualifies as "latest".



Tamron SP 28-80mm f/3.5-4.2

What does the "CF" in "CF Macro" stand for BTW?

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks man!

Speaking of which, it doesn't do too bad on macros either:

I just bought this. 135/3.5 Zeiss Planar.
The field of view is 60 degrees, so about the same as a 35mm lens on 24x36mm film/digital.
f/3.5 may sound slow but the DOF is shallower than 35mm f/1.0
I'm thinking a few shots with portra 400 pushed to 1600 are on the cards
A quick google of the lens will make your eyes water at the price... but I paid $195
Image is NOT mine, and it from www.mainlinephoto.com.au from whom I purchased the lens. Thanks to Scott for answering my many questions about the lens.


That's a beauty! Will you post some shots soon?

My latest purchase - the Leica APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 ASPH. Ready for a bit of camera p0rn?


http://peltarion.eu/img/m9/cron90aa-000.jpg

Next to the M9 + the new 90 Cron AA is my next most recent alt purchase, the Leica M6, mounting here the older pre-ASPH 90 Summicron (V3):

Comparison of the three Leica moderate tele lenses: 75 Cron, 90 V3 and 90 AA:

The middle one, the 90 V3 is 30 years old and still a very nice lens.
