What camera for these lenses?

[Derek_Teixeira]

Hey guys ...

A friend of my boss's gave us a briefcase full of old lenses, and he is looking to sell them. I am considering buying them, but I am not sure what kind of camera I would need to buy to use them?

Here are links to them, it includes descriptions. Maybe you can help me out?

All in one shot

Tele-Lentar 1:3.5 f=180mm Lens

Super-Lentar 1:2.8 f=28mm Lens

Tele-Lentar 1:5.6 f=300mm Lens

thanks all..

If these are indeed T2 lenses, then these would only work as preset lenses (i.e., no auto-diaphragm). You would open the aperture wide to focus, then turn the preset ring---it will stop at the aperture that you had already set at, then shoot. It is not much slower than an auto lens, but you just need to get used to the routine with a little bit of practice. If you forget about turning the preset ring, you'll over-expose with the lens wide open.

I still have a few preset lenses from the 1960s/1970s. These were cheaper than the auto versions, if at all available.

Do not spend a lot. Bunch of old junk. They were junk when new too.
