Hanimex always had a good looking finish... like the focus ring finish!

Looks heavy.

dbuckle, did you use a Pentax adapter for this one, or another?

Thanks for answer

dbuckle · « **Reply #4 on:** March 14, 2012, 05:15:53 PM »

I used a Pentax 42 thread to micro 3/4 adapter.

135mm lens are always interesting to use... I've made nice shots with mine...

dbuckle, do you still have this lens and can you recommend it to me?

Maybe I have the opportunity to buy one of those

dbuckle · « **Reply #7 on:** March 15, 2012, 03:02:32 PM »

Yes it seems to be very good as you can see by the photos. I'd sell you this one but the shipping might be too expensive.

Took this lens for a walk today.

Pretty sharp and contrasty! I wish I could use it on my film cameras.

Nice photos, dbuckle!

These make me want to buy this lens, but my friend didn't want to sell it

Eureka · « **Reply #11 on:** May 09, 2012, 12:17:03 PM »

Now it has happened, my neighbour did give it to me for free!

Hurray

So I have to ask again to make it clear, I need a Pentax adapter to use it?

Yes it is the Pentax 42 threaded mount not the the PK mount adapter.

That Chinon 135mm f2.8 lens has been produced both M42- & K- mounts...

Eureka · « **Reply #14 on:** May 09, 2012, 12:40:16 PM »

Okay, I have to look which one it is. Tonight I'm too tired and will now go to bed.

Thanks to both of you!

Eureka · « **Reply #15 on:** May 09, 2012, 12:47:20 PM »

I found one, the last thing I searched for now before bed, M42 to M43 - is that the same as Pentax 42 mount?

Thanks in advance for answer.

Yes that should be the one if the lens is a thread mount. Enjoy your lens.

Eureka · « **Reply #17 on:** May 10, 2012, 12:30:03 AM »

I found out it is a Pentax K-mount. It was written on the rear lens cover

Eureka · « **Reply #18 on:** May 10, 2012, 01:38:50 AM »

...and now the Kipon adapter is ordered.

The best thing with the adapter is that I still have some lenses left from my Pentax K-7, so now I can use 'em on my E-P3.

Thanks dbuckle, I think I'll enjoy using it

Harmonica · « **Reply #19 on:** May 10, 2012, 07:32:59 AM »

Good for you Eureka

.

I also have K-5, MZ-S and several rare top quality KAF-, KA-, and K-bajonet lenses by myself. But only time will tell how long I'm still willing to wait for KAF-bajonet FF digibody...before put all that (great) gear on sale.

Eureka · « **Reply #20 on:** May 11, 2012, 01:16:28 PM »

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I got the adapter by the mail today, so now I've tested the Chinon-lens for a day. I'm really satisfied with it for so long, at least for outdoor-shooting in daylight.

This is our dog Miranda's son, Baloo, and he remind me of an asian in this photo(nothing to do with racism, just fact)

Metal roof by A Eureka, on Flickr

The metal roof of my mum and dad's woodshred. I picked this photo of these I shot today to show the differences in the color tones between the ladder and the roof.

Compost by A Eureka, on Flickr

'n' this is my parents compost. I did choose this photo to show the dynamic range, I think it's shown pretty good in this one.

If you look in the brushwood to the left of the fir, you can see raindrops in the sticks. Try to zoom it

This is the first time I contribute with my photos to lens samples, hope I did it in the right way
