Originally posted by 55bravo I inherited this lens some years ago and never used it much. I decided to perhaps sell it and I am finding numerous lenses similar to this one. Does anyone know anything about this lens and is what it is actually worth? I have found similar lenses for sale along with a wide range in value. Any ideas?
Thanks 55bravo
the Cosinon-S has not been reviewed in our lens reviews - that link above is for another Cosina 55/1.2; the Cosinon-S is Cosina's own design/manufacture of this focal length/aperture speed...
the non-Cosinon is supposedly a Tomioka design, manufactured by Cosina....
the Porst 55/1.2 is a third design on this format and (apparently) still has a lot of FUD being shared on the internet, as it is a great lens... (I have several 55/1.2 lenses)
