I used to have a Leica R4 and bought an Angennieux zoom. I liked it very much but sold it with the whole Leica set about 8 years ago. Later I saw this M42 screw mount Angennieux 135mm f3.5 which fits my first ever SLR Pentax I bought over 40 years ago. I bought this lens from a swap meet just for the brand name. Never used it. My M42 to m4/3 adapter just arrived and the Cherry Blossoms are everywhere. See what I got! I like this lens. I suspect it could be from a movie camera for that's what Angennieux is famous for. BTW, It's French.

Stephen, I'm sure you'll be busy this Spring - taking photos on the lovely flowers and show us your collection of old but marvelous lenses one by one.

Beautiful cherry blossoms !

Gareth, This lens is kind of long and crumsy but the result was quite satisfactory. I also have a Pentax Takumar 135mm 3.5 but the result was far from the Angennieux. I don't bother to show it to you. I still have a Zeiss Vario Sonnar 80-200 zoom. and the Canon M39 screw mount 35mm which I have to show you the shots as promised.

Beautiful indeed!

I never knew that Angennieux made M42 glass. Seems pretty rear and very good too!

Adash, I didn't know it neither until I saw it at the swap meet. I knew the brand wouldn't be bad so I bought it just for fun. I forgot about it and never used it for the last 10 years. I remember I didn't spend too much on it neither. I was surprised by the quality.

Some of the sample images appear much clearer than others. Have the clearer images been done in post with software or is there a secret in the original taking of the picture?
