arrived Monday from Berlin - Soligor C/D MC Macro 90mm f2.5

normally, I would not have been interested in this lens except for the 'A' position on the aperture ring - a rarity in the Komine-made lens...

I have the 55mm version of this macro and both are quite sharp....

also arrived this week - a Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f2 from the mid-50's

this is the preset model, with 10 aperture blades... I got tired of chasing the 'good' Helios 44 and decided just to buy the original, the Biotar 58/2
