Orion-15 28mm f/6

[BobCoRn]

I have been using this lens with the Zorkiy camera since 1965. Here are a few photos taken with this lens. Zorki (1955), Orion-15 (6/28), BW film, NORITSU KOKI, EZ Controller.

Here is a story on how to do Orion-15 prophylaxis. The story is in Russian, but it is accompanied by a large number of pictures that make it easy to understand how and what needs to be done.

This photo of the children on the swings was one of the reasons I acquired my copy of this lens some years ago. Absolutely love this photo. (Have never managed to do anything quite so striking with the lens myself 🙂 but it is my favorite ltm 28, by far.)

Thanks for posting the link to the “prophylaxis.”

Great, great pictures 🙂, thanks for posting a link on lens prevention, it's a pity I didn’t see it five or six years ago when I did prevention for my lens. (

This lens is really fantastic, I much prefer it to the Leica Summaron 28.

Even new Summaron 28 is not this good, IMO.

Does your O-15 flares a lot? I have to get hood for mine.

It can be bought for around $250~$350.

You can see the flare in the first picture, but the third picture where I thought there would be flare there was none.

I'm not bothering with a hood, the lens is deeply recessed already and I love how it performs.
This lens really is something special. If someone said to me you can only pick on Soviet lens, this would be it.

Fedka.com has one for $299. He is an excellent local resource.

But I didn't pay Fedka's premium for it. 🙂
