My next lens for one beer - M42 MC Kaleinar-5N 100/2.8

[isorgb]

Sometimes I have the opportunity to buy a lens for a beer. My friend has a wonderful collection of old lenses. We sit down and talk about life, photography, etc. Finally, he proposes a lens for one beer.

I already have two lenses from him: Jupiter-3 LTM and Jupiter-12 LTM.

Now I won MC Kaleinar-5N, but this time M42 mount, not LTM. I read, that it is copy of Nikon 100/2.8.
I mount it on Samsung NX10 and take some pictures.

Full open, f2.8:

Nice pictures! One beer well spent.

It's not a copy of the Series-E Nikkor; the Kaleinar has a different optical diagram and one more lens element.
