@ Enemix : first time I read something about Sicor, but I trust you easily as you shot the beast.
Thanks for the pics from Sweden. Is it cold, there ? Here in Belgium we're wet through.

The first one is very special. If you didn't wrote it's a night shot, I'd have asked "what are the white marks in the sky ?" :o
Am I so stupid ?

:) That's exactly the way I look at my old M42 lenses. Fun and experimentation. Some results are surprising (in both ways).
There are good well known russian cheap lenses (see "soviet club"), and japanese-made great surprises (Sears / Rikenon 135mm/2.8 ; just to quote one).
I got most of my old lenses some years ago, when film cameras were plentiful in second hand shops around here. Some of them came "freely" in a bag hidden somewhere when I bought the exposed camera+lens ! :lol:
I recently dug up two japanese primes I hadn't yet used.
The first one is a Kaligar f3.5/200mm telephoto. The focusing ring is hard to turn, but it does correctly. Hope I'll use it one of these days.
The second one is a f2.8/50mm Auto Flex. I probably didn't gave it a try because it can't be stopped down manually (no A/M switch) and I had faster "standard" primes having this convenience. I took some shots wide opened and discovered it's not bad at all... And mechanically, it's among the smoother primes I own ! As easy operating as my S-Tak 1.8/55mm ! And I like the recessed front glass...
Last week I lightly glued the aperture pin and took some pictures. The one here is direct jpg file from my K100D, just a bit cropped and size reduced.
I've still to read all of this topic, so I don't know if I'll find some infos about those lenses... But if s.o. has infos... :)
