At my back door. It's bloody HUGE!
A Mamiya Universal 250mm F/5 lens. 5 elements, 3 groups. Known for sharp performance, but will flare (single coated optics) without a hood. I'm going to build a hood or look around for one. Gotta be a new barndoor 105mm thread hood around.
My goodness, the Universal had some heft to it before, but now, it's seriously several POUNDS heavier.
Wide open, it clips the corners of Polaroid. I don't know if I got lucky, but mine engages the rangefinder, and stopped down to the darker numbers (yellow? orange? What's the difference), focuses WELL closer than the 20 foot minimum. Ive tried 10 feet and the Polaroid is sharp (f/11)
WHAT-A-MONSTER!
I wonder if there was ever a larger, heavier lens for ANY other rangefinder camera.
105mm filter threads. Bet one of THOSE will cost me.
