IEDEI,

had an M8 and Komura 3.5/35 myself and the combo was great.

And the little Komura on the M5 was a great look too, it was my most favorited gear shot on the Flickr I had!

Great shots!

Nice shots. I really really really should use mine more...

A rare 35mm 3.5 W.Acall Kyoei for peanuts! Only ever seen one like this before, a nearly identical lens sold on eBay Belgium a few months back for pretty much the same price.

Currently I cannot afford it and it would not see enough action with me since I recently received a very nice 35mm lens for my Leica II's, so I'm sharing this with you guys! Ready for the plucking! 😀

Can't believe this is still up and available... 😱😱

Here is another one that looks fairly good:

Another Heads Up.


Acall 35mm 3.5:

Still the same lens for sale, pretty rare lens and has been on sale for several weeks now. No love for these lenses left? The price is great!

Komura 28mm 3.5:

Rarely seen lens, listed for significantly more on eBay. But this price is the correct one, the eBay samples are overpriced and hoping to lure a collector into buying them.


Remember where you read it first. 🙂

Komura 200mm. Got it last year at an antique shop, its nearly impossible to focus as it makes the rf patch very hard to see due to lens blockage on the Nicca, Canon IVS, Canon L1. Did not come with a finder, I guess I need that TEWE finder, its so impractical, but it was a a cheap find that I had to buy it.

I think the only LTM rangefinder I have that seems to be ok on using it is the Canon 7, but no coldshoe for a viewfinder. Well no blockage on the Minolta CLE either lol.

Very cool. I actually own one of these two, but the focus is frozen at infinity. It might still be usable for distant objects, but I've not tried it yet. I have a case and finder too - not common!
