The lens was harvested from a non-working rangefinder camera, the shutter blades were removed, and a custom mount was made using step up rings and a slim M42 to Sony E mount adapter. The aperture works great, and the original stock focusing helicoid was used for the set up. Feel free to ask questions.
Rendering is quite unique, with soap bubble bokeh out of focus highlights. Test shot taken with Sony a7, added a hood for flare control.
