I feel so EX- used.

I have been uploading pictures taken with a variety of lenses and cameras in the last few weeks. I am arranging them in folders by lens type.

And as if I did not have enough, I have fired a 4 torpedo spread on more because of Joe and Oscar!

Yikes, the 35mm f1.8 Canon rangefinder lens w/ interior haze and oily aperture blades went for $165! Fess up, who bid that much? I was interested, but for <$100 . . .

 

[Sonnar Brian]

Not ME! I bought the Nikkor 105 F2.5 in LTM for $125 though. The threads were damaged, and it was advertised as not being able to mount on a camera. If I cannot straighten out the threads, I will file them and put a LTM to M mount adapter on it and use it on the M3.

Good fishing Brian !

And then there's this really strange lens 3833787226, does anybody know something about it ?

Oscar, the Schacht lens seller is a little confused, isn't he? "You must open the lens to focus, then stop down to the taking aperature." He's thinking SLRs; wonder if he actually opened the diaphragm for focusing on his Canon 7?

Maker's name is Albrecht Schacht, located in Ulm, Donau in western Germany, product name is Travegon. I don't know if they're still producing camea lenses, but I don't hear that name as often now as decades ago.

 

[taffer]

Yep Doug, I noticed that, it's very strange 'cuz his says the lens is rf coupled, he used it on a Canon 7, so he knows what's a RF and what's a Canon 7, but that 'open the diaphragm for focusing...'

I'll try to take a look at Kevincameras.com, they have a gallery with all sorts of very rare LTM lenses so maybe there will be something similar there. I'm interested in this lens' history, not on the lens itself 🙂

Can't wait to use my Canon 135mm F3.5 that I got for $21 this week! If it works (and it looks crystal clear now) I will post how I did it. The cemented pair was apart, I cleaned off the glue and used Optical Gel (a thick oil) on the elements. Quick, easy, and did not require heating the glass to 350F. We will see if it works!

$21 Canon Lens (Ok $31 with shipping)

It took a while, but the threads on the Nikkor 10.5cm f2.5 LTM straightened out enough to get back onto (and off again) a Canon 7. I took of the tripod mount; wedged a stainless steel washer under the damaged area; and used a screw driver through the tripod mount "slot" to straighten the bent mount. Then I used a stainless steel 39mm retaining ring and a file to fix the threads. Amazingly, the RF CAM is still accurate.


The Optical "GEL" worked well on the Canon 135. Need to scan some shots.
