Re: An old Sears M42 preset 35mm lens

[Mark C]

The K24 f3.5 would be my choice as well. I have one and use it for 
reverse mounted for macros, and it works great. But aside from a brief 
trial on the K1, I've never used it as intended.

I have another short video about the FA35 queued to be posted next week.
I'm also open to suggestions, I have tons of lenses and it's hard to choose

Some candidates:

K24/3.5
M24-35/3.5
Super Takumar 35/3.5
Super Takumar 28/3.5
Cheap/off brand 24/2.8 K mount (Marexar I think?)
Kiron 28/2 (I think this one has haze though!)

or even

Minolta 50mm macro
50mm Summilux with old dead fungus (this will actually be super interesting
I think!)
Industar 26 (50mm 2.8)
Jupiter 8 (50mm 2)
MIR-1B (37mm 2.8)

Yes I guess I do have a problem...

Stan you are the only one who voted so you're winning by 100% so far :)

The K24 will definitely be in a video soon. My copy is in super nice shape,
I remember I paid $50 for it on ebay, almost 20 years ago, to this day one
of my best finds there.

Re: An old Sears M42 preset 35mm lens

[Darren Addy]

Enjoy your videos, Juan. Especially the images you create with the lens.

You probably know that there were several Asahi Optical Co. preset lenses.
It was the purchase of a very rare one, as part of a Spotmatic collection
that began my lens acquisition.
Or rather I should say the SALE of the rare one. A 1957 100mm f3.5 Takumar
(in m42) that I sold for a high dollar to a collector in France. That sale
funded additional purchases and started me on a buy/sell education in
Pentax lenses and bodies.

It was from another (200mm f5.6 purchased for $15) that I learned that slow
lenses could give you great colors and that oily aperture blades were of no
concern on a preset lens.

I believe that I still have the following Asahi Optical presets:
50mm f4 macro
135mm f3.5
200mm f5.6
300mm f6.3

There were also presets in the 105mm f2.8 and three "standard lenses" from
1957, a 58mm in f2.4, f2.2, and f2.0.

Much better! Love it. Just watch out for serif fonts as they are a bit harder 
to read but Americans seem to like them ;-)



Probably an over-reaction to being scared by Comic Sans when we were all much 
younger.

Re: An old Sears M42 preset 35mm lens

[Juan Buhler]

Thanks Alan.

The reason I believe this one was made by Tokina is several other Tokina
lenses I see online that have very similar or the same design:

http://forum.mflenses.com/vemar-old-tokina-135-28-t38951.html
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-m42-mount-tokina-28mm-f3-lens-1806269079

Those are two examples but there are more. I might be wrong though!

Re: An old Sears M42 preset 35mm lens

[Juan Buhler]

Thanks Cotty!

I still see tons of issues with my videos though!

I've been trying to make the fonts period-correct for the lens I'm looking
at, but you're right, I wasn't paying attention to serif vs sans-serif.

It's a really interesting process, not only I'm learning a bit about making
the videos themselves, but the overall production pipeline is fun and
rewarding to put together. Early on I wanted to assess the cost/benefit of
the whole process, and decided that making a new video all together should
not take more than 4-5 hours, not including the time making photos with a
given lens. Otherwise it's not worth it. Right now I have about 1-2 weeks
lead time for any video, so at any given time I have one or two videos I
haven't posted yet.

I always had a lot of respect for people doing film production (as opposed
to the actual, in my case, animators, software developers, etc) and how
their work keeps the process going and how a good producer can make the
whole thing pleasant and productive and a bad one can create a nightmare of
overtime and frustration. It's cool to see that works at a small scale as
well.

Well done, Juan. If I'm not mistaken, Sears lenses were made by Ricoh 
for Sears Merchandising so it is not OT! (Soligor lenses were made by 
Tokina). I've seen some advertised in SA but wasn't tempted! Seems to be

Re: An old Sears M42 preset 35mm lens

[Juan Buhler]

Oh, haha, that's not what I meant, sorry I should have been more clear.

I want to play with some old teles, but that's just as a photo nerd.

As a street photographer, I'd never use a long lens. That's not my thing, I
like to get close. Not saying it cannot or shouldn't be done, I'm sure
someone with more talent can make it work in the street. But most of the
time I see teles used in the street, it is as a crutch, to avoid getting
close.

Are you sure you'd want to do street photography with a 4/300 mm lens
that is about 12 inches long and weighs 5 pounds?

That thing is an all-metal construction and built like the proverbial
battleship.

Having said this, I have a series of concert shots taken with a Zeiss
(Jena) 2.8/180 mm Sonnar adapted to a Fujica 605N. Nice and crisp
pictures with a beautiful bokeh.

I need to get my hands on some longer old lenses. As a street photographer
I've always favored wide lenses, but there are some interesting teles out
there.

Thanks Dan!

Great background info on the Sears cameras, thanks for that. This one lens
I'm pretty sure was made by Tokina, as I found photos of Tokina lenses
(different focal lengths though!) that have the exact same design, colors
and fonts.

They're both available with M42. Indeed they have exchangeable mounts
for Pentacon 6, M42 and Exakta. My 4/300 mm even has a 'real' PK mount.

Re: An old Sears M42 preset 35mm lens

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Certainly on topic.

For a while, Sears sold an SLR that was a clone of the Asahi Spotmatic .
I'm pretty sure that it was made by Asahi in Japan before it became
comfortable marketing cameras here under its own name.  The Spotmatic was
also sold in the US under the Honeywell brand name.  My father used a Sears
Spotty for quite a while, and I bought a used Honeywell Spotmatic to back
up the original Asahi Spotmatic that I had purchased new in the Far East in
1966.

An old Sears M42 preset 35mm lens

[Juan Buhler]

I suppose since this lens is M42 then it is on-topic enough to post here?
I found this lens on ebay for not too much money, and thought it was
interesting because I haven't seen many M42 preset lenses that weren't made
in the Soviet Union.

Super short, 2'34" video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgZP4iBRI6E

I have another short video about the FA35 queued to be posted next week.
I'm also open to suggestions, I have tons of lenses and it's hard to choose
which one to do next. What do you people think?

Some candidates:

K24/3.5
M24-35/3.5
Super Takumar 35/3.5
Super Takumar 28/3.5
Cheap/off brand 24/2.8 K mount (Marexar I think?)
Kiron 28/2 (I think this one has haze though!)

or even

Minolta 50mm macro
50mm Summilux with old dead fungus (this will actually be super interesting
I think!)
Industar 26 (50mm 2.8)
Jupiter 8 (50mm 2)
MIR-1B (37mm 2.8)

Yes I guess I do have a problem...
