3M-6A (ZM-6A) 500 mm 1:6.3 [M42]

There was a break in lens sampling and testing due to the fact that my G2 was sent away. I got a really nice B4 lens, but it needed major adjustments and service. I'll get it back after Christmas.

Most of my tests so far were wide angles, portrait lenses and some standards. Now I decided to take some shots with my biggest piece: 3M-6A (ZM-6A) 500 mm 1:6.3 M42 lens. It's absolutely stunning and huge mirror lens.

Industar-69 28 mm 1:2.8 [M39]

Have you ever heard about Chaika cameras? I simply adore them! They're small analogue compact cameras that take 1/2 of full frame photos (type 135 film). I've collected few models and once I got a bonus - a single Industar-69 lens. That's right! Chaika had interchangeable lenses. Unfortunately I've never seen anything, but those Industars.

TV lens 50 mm 1:1.4 aka Fujian [C-mount]

As you could've found out from previous posts, Fujian C-mount lenses are known for their unusual quality and effects. Fujian 35/1.7 is a great portrait lens with swirly bokeh. Fujian 25/1.4 becomes a very nice "standard" lens with same effects and extra vignetting. Being led by that trail I decided to buy Fujian 50/1.4, just for it's unique effects. Well... did I nailed it? Um...

TV lens 25 mm 1:1.4 aka Fujian [C-mount]

The tiniest child of Fujian family: 25 mm F1.4

It's a wonderful tiny lens with swirly bokeh and vintage vignetting on M4/3 sensor. A great thin focal plane (well... we'll explain how "plane" works in this case) and "standard" angle. Great for portraits and as it turns out, a good choice for wedding outdoors!
