Novoflex 105/3.5 Noflexar

[dlove5]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but I'll give this a shot.

A while back I picked up a Novoflex 105/3.5 Noflexar with a LTM mount as a freebie that was mounted to an old Pentax bellows via a LTM -> m42 mount. It does not have its own focusing mount.

I just had it cleaned up, but haven't really tried it out.

Has anybody had any experience with this lens or know anything about it?

The only info I can find is that it was made between 1967 and 1969 and is supposedly a very sharp macro lens for its time.

Thanks.

Wasn't it designed to only be used with the Novoflex bellows?

I still have a 200mm f3.8 rapid follow-focus lens. Instead of a focusing ring, it uses a trigger grip to focus. There was also a 300mm version, together with some tele-extenders.

They are/were of very good quality.
