Is there a „good“ and „cheap“ 75mm lens?

[JohnTF]

Camera show coming up end of August, and the 75 CV is not rare and often sold at a reasonable price -- things change, some shows I see a whole table of reasonable CV kit.

I do not think you will lose your investment either, if you decide something else is better for you.

I have accumulated a few of the 90 f4 Elmars, and they are good shooters, seems though they keep arriving with some other item I want, no matter, I think they will find good homes. I bought three or four CV lenses in Prague a few years back, saving the tax when I left. The Crown has gone up so much that is no longer attractive, but the used market can be very good.


Regards, John

The FSU Jupiter-9 85mm lens is excellent and often found in good condition for under $100.

I had borrowed one from a friend, an uncoated one, but I was not happy with it, extremely soft at full opening. On the other hand, he paid 2.50 euro for it with viewfinder.. I now have a Leica elmarit 90/2.8 which I got for relatively cheap which I love.
