Subject: My Latest M42 Lens, Auto Mamiya/Sekor SX 85mm F1.7
After many years of hearing about but never actually
seeing ( not even pix of it) , I finally scored a Mamiya Sekor SX 85mm
F1.7
Lens in M42 mount.
I just created a little page with some pix of the lens, and a few test samples taken with it. Check it out:

Comments welcome,
That looks really very nice. I don't know if it's true or not, I had heard that Mamiya wanted to emulate the smooth look of their RB lenses in their 35mm glass.
Looking at the rendition that lens is giving, I can well believe it is so.
