Guess the lens?

RXrenesis8 · 08-21-2011, 11:45 AM

Sorry, I haven't been the most attentive host for this one! I'll have a couple more photos up in a little bit.

(Click images for full size)

OK, here's one at MFD:

And one at infinity:

Both still wide open (The aperture is stuck, but hey, I still think it's worth $5, and probably easy to repair!). I'll post the answer at the end of today.

Hints:
52mm thread
Has the words "super" and "coated" in it's name.
When holding the camera you turn the focus ring clockwise to focus closer.

Big hint:

i would say "Albinar" in that case, but i barely heard of this brand...

Something like this?

RXrenesis8 · 08-24-2011, 04:49 PM

That's the one! Mine's a little later in serial, but the front appears identical other than that.

I might start "Choose which lens - MCQ" which I think is a bit more reasonable. Stay tuned, contestants!

For many of us the profile gives plenty of clues on what lenses to guess on.

But if you are serious, I can change the name of this thread.

The deed is already done!

Most of my current lenses are not in my profile but to have fun we could try to avoid checking the profile too!

I am not sure - of course you could merge the two threads, but this one at times has been impossibly hard and I thought of doing something more reasonable.

What does MCQ stand for anyway?

MCQ=Multiple Choice Questions (not really precise but...)
