Wow, I wanna see a pic of your collection! All together, how lenses do you have now?
Not as many as you Bif.Last week-end purchase makes it about 70 - far from your score I suppose.
I got Zeiss ZE backpack,Zeiss ZF backpack,Zeiss C/Y backpack and Minolta MD backpack.Each contains up to 13 lenses, NEX or Canon EOS body and relevant accesories.The rest of lenses - Yashica,SMC Pentax,Canon FD,Oly Zuiko,Contax G,others (Tamron,Tokina,Sigma,Sony E,Vivitar ect.) are placed on the desks and shelves in my bedroom/office.
When I got some free time,which is not very often ,I usually pick up 2-3 lenses,depending on the mood and go out to take some photos.
If I find more time and energy I'll display them all to make a pic of the whole collection,but now only a very quick,very dirty and very noisy pic of the desk where most recent acquisitions (about 30 lenses) are placed and where this week-end purchase of 8 lenses will eventually land when it arrives.

What mount? I think worldinlens has a Nikon copy in great condition that he is selling.
Thank you for the info.Nikon or Contax would be ideal,but worldinlens lives in the US so the taxes and the likes will automatically make the price about 30% higher .

Hi, I'm live on the other end of the Earth, in St.Petersburg ...not very far from Poland

Just got my Contax S 100/4 Planar macro lens and mated it to my Contax bellows.
Its a sweet bellows T/S macro rig!
Thanks Rico for all your help!
Here's a quick one handheld at 1/100, didn't feel like getting out and setting up the tripod this time.
One sharp lens like all Zeiss 100 planars, but with T/S possibilities.

I'm not sure mine was reasonably priced ;-) I'm also on the fence about the 125/2.5 prices I'm seeing these days. Would love one of those, but wow.
I dunno the 180/4 (perhaps someone can offer a comparison) but the 125/2.5 is pretty worth it. What price range are you seeing them in? Which mount?

Thanks! I look forward to more pics! Anyway, a nice collection you have there! FYI, I wasn't keeping score tho - just interested in which models you're into and didn't wanna ask you to list them all.
Congrats! We look forward to seeing some T/S magic. I find the VF (even that of the 1Ds) to be very difficult to see critical focus in this regime. Plan for repeated shots, or extended use of live view. When it comes together, results are rewarding:

Grats, the 100mm S-Planar is reputed to be the best there is for macro, much better than any of the regular Makro Planars. I'm looking for one for my T/S macro bellows, but prices are way too high.
One alternative I have is to mount the 645 Apo-Makro-Planar on my rig, but that would require me to buy a €200 adapter.
Of course there's also the Contax 645 macro bellows unit, but the price is in its own league.

makten -- Talk about a clean camera! Beautiful.
For my first camera in 1979, it was a toss up between the Olympus OM-1 or the Canon A-1. The Canon rep was in the store (Frank's) that day. . . I never looked back, but that Oly is still a beauty!

Makten nice set of oly lenses and a beautytiful camera. Just wish I liked to shoot film.
Just picked up a Vivitar Series 1 90mm 2.5 in Olympus mount. It just showed up so I made a rush decision to buy.
ex condition from Keh. I know it's supposed to be pretty sharp with good bokeh.

Don't know if Sweden is served, but KEH has a fresh listing for the SP100, perhaps the third I have seen at that site in the last decade. Condition is BGN, price $415. I strongly recommend someone get it, pronto.

For those lacking the prerequisite Contax bellows, KEH is listing one of them as well.
Thanks for the heads up, bought it. I don't usually buy from KEH because of high shipping costs and customs taxes, but at this price it will still be cheap provided the condition is OK. I'll return it otherwise.
Wow, bellows for $43 in EX? That's a steal, but I've already got one.
