I have a rare lens for sale, a Soviet-made OKS-1-10-1 / 10mm f/2.8 lens. The lens can be used with KRASNOGORSK 3 cameras with bayonet mount. It is not a modification; it is 100% an original item. These lenses were designed for Soviet KINOR SP cameras, intended to be a copy of the German ARRIFLEX. KINOR SP and KRASNOGORSK with bayonet mounts share the same lens mounts.
Anyone who has ever used a KRASNOGORSK camera with the original METEOR 17-69 lens knows the limitation that comes with it. It can be challenging to operate in tight spaces. A wide-angle lens like the 10mm truly provides significant possibilities and makes working in difficult conditions much easier.
I assess the condition of the lens as very good. The front lens is free of scratches, rear lens have tiny marks on the surface. Inside, there are some tiny dust particles, but they do not affect the image quality on the ground glass. There are no signs of mold. All movable lens elements work smoothly. The aperture opens and closes correctly. Housing have a using marks, dirt spots but they doesn't affect to the lens itself.
It comes with a front cap from a different lens, there is also a back cap, and the leather case.
Many of you might ask: okay, but why such a high price? It's not that rare. After all, you can find this lens on eBay much cheaper.
- Let me explain. Soviet lens markings may be similar, but that doesn't mean they will have the same mounts. Finding a lens with a mount that fits the KRASNOGORSK camera is really challenging. Despite lenses found on eBay having the same markings and looking very similar, they differ in mounts. I searched for this lens for almost a year. However, I decided to sell it because I am completely giving up filming with KRASNOGORSK cameras, and I no longer need it.
On the last picture, you can see the difference between the original lens set to its maximum minimum focal length of 17mm and the OKS 10mm lens.
If you are interested, feel free to reach out for more information or pictures. The camera is not available for sale in this offer!
