Precise focus thanks to its almost 360 degree turn from 1mt to infinity. One of the sharpest 135mm lenses ever made. Some people believe it to be even "too" sharp for people's portraits! You can always soften the picture if you like, but you can not bring the crisp sharpness from a soft picture. Ideal for Portraits.
It can be fitted to almost any camera with an suitable M42 adapter. M42 Adapters are available cheaply on eBay for all digital SLRs including NIKON, SONY ALPHAS AND NEX, PENTAX, PANASONIC to name a just a few brands.. Try searching "M42 to canon" or "M42 to nikon" or "M42 to the camera brand that you own". On digital cameras you will be shooting in aperture priority or manual mode, depending on your confidence, focusing at the widest aperture and then taking the shot there or at the desired aperture setting.
The lens has a Manual/Auto switch. Auto operation was used with film cameras, but when used on digital cameras you use it in Manual mode or in Auto mode as the Adapter should depress the auto pin from the rear of the lens so that the lens is effectively a manual lens.
When used on APS-C (crop factor) digital cameras, this lens becomes a nice portrait lens, as it is effectively a 215mm on Canon's and a 200mm on Nikon's.
As normal with used lenses, there might be some insignificant speckles of dust inside which do not affect in any way the use of the lens and the lovely pictures it takes. This particular lens has very little/hardly any dust.
Supplied with Front cap only and will be well protected for transit. If you are a "Canon" or "Pentax K" user and require the adaptor, I could supply one for £5. Buy with confidence fully protected by Ebay money back guarantee Thanks for looking |
