Guess the lens?

mkvlln · 08-12-2011, 05:50 AM

it's a 135mm. Lemme post another photo, wide open.

Radical flaring there, haha.

erkie · 08-12-2011, 12:24 PM

Takumar (bayonet) 135

2.5 right? If so, i'd guess this^

mkvlln · 08-12-2011, 09:00 PM

My turn.

aurele · 08-13-2011, 07:00 AM

i would say something like 135 or maybe 150.

to be honnest i have no idea, but i love this bokeh that seems to swivel a bit

**Douglas_of_Sweden** · 08-13-2011, 09:13 AM

It is considerably shorter than that. Of course, as you can see I cropped it to square format, which can fool you a bit.
Yes, it has this strange bokeh that looks like an impressionistic painting. Sometimes I shoot with it completely OOF.

This is a crop to half the original angle of view.

Do you see the bumble bee?
This is going to be too difficult without a clue: it is in m42.

If you say that i say some Helios 44 ?

or maybe the helios 77 ?

yeatzee · 08-13-2011, 11:10 AM

cosina 1.2? But the DOF looks to large

erkie · 08-13-2011, 11:13 AM

I would have to say Isco or Schatt

Pentaxor · 08-13-2011, 11:24 AM

it's either a Helios or Jupiter basing on the bokeh.

Not a bad guess, but it is not a Helios. Not even russian.

Yes, it is not that fast.

Not helios, not Jupiter.

the Helios are the only lense that i know that produce this kind of bokeh.

Could it be one of the Carl Zeiss, the Helios are copied from ?

Let's give a try with the Carl Zeiss Pancolar 50/1.8 (Some picture in the lense review helped me a lot to do that guess. It was the only Zeiss lense i'd never heard the name.)

Schnieder ? Or perhaps Meyer optik gorlitz lydith 30 3.5

It does look awfully close to my isco 35 2.8 though

The price goes to Erkie.
The lens is a lady named Lydith (like my great-grand-mother).
Dirt sheap. Lot of fun for the money.
