Posts: 7 | Two m42 bokeh monsters added to the collection! Just a little topic to satisfy the very last drip of my current LBA streak  Yesterday I scored a Meyer-Görlitz Orestor 200mm f/4 (some sample shots: http://galactinus.net/vilva/retro/eo...stegor200.html, not by me though). I also got a Pentacon Auto 135mm f/2.8. Both lenses have the same 15-blade aperture, can't wait to try them out. I do have to wait though, since I don't have an m42-K mount adapter yet  By the by, I've spent about €45 on both, including €13,50 shipping that is, how well (or bad) of a deal did I get?

| Site Supporter | Ha Lauke, great lenses both! And I think you got a very good deal. When you buy a M42 adapter, be aware you got the original Pentax one! Most of the cheap Chinese ones give problems focussing to infinity, due to the flange!!! |

Posts: 7 | Right, so the first lense (135mm) came in today and I was checking it out a few minutes ago and noticed the aperture won't close beyond f/8 with the lens in manual mode. When using auto mode, it works normally, apart from one of the blades lagging oh so slightly. Nothing too noticeable, but still quite a bummer. Good thing this one was by far the cheapest of the two. Now, I've got an idea: what if I'd jam the aperture pin all the way in somehow, effectively changing the auto mode to manual aperture control? |
