Maksutov 3M-5A-MC mirror and meniscus lens system in good condition, fully serviceable. Lenses are clean, without fungus, chips and scratches..... (see photos). The lens case is brown in color, the strap is missing.
The mirror meniscus lens 3M-5A-MC of the Maksutov system was produced for SLR cameras "Zenit". The MC index means that the meniscus and the lens have a multilayer coating.
The 3M-5A-MC lens is a long focal length lens with a focal length of 500 mm.
With the help of adapters, it can be used on almost any modern camera.
When the 3M-5A-MC is used on a camera with a cropped sensor (APS-C type), the effective focal length is approximately 750 mm for Nikon with a crop factor of 1.5 and 800 mm for Canon with a crop factor of 1.6.
The kit includes an adapter from the M42 to a 1.25" eyepiece, so you can use the lens as a small telescope.
The eyepiece is not included.
The rear field corrector has been removed to improve the resolution of the lens when used with crop factor cameras.
The image of the 3M-5A-MC is completely free of chromatic aberrations. The lens has a high magnification and therefore reduced image contrast, so it is best used with a tripod. Threaded holes are provided for tripod mounting.

NOTES. Due to Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, parcels from Ukraine to Europe are first sent by ground transportation and from Europe by airmail worldwide. Therefore, it is possible that the delivery time of parcels will be slightly increased. Despite the specified delivery method "economy", I send all parcels by airmail (with tracking number). Please take this into account when ordering.
