Hello,
strange that I didn't found this forum before.
My name is Michael, I'm living with my wife - she is a wedding photographer - in Northwest Germany near the dutch border.
I was a collector of russian lens for M42 for a some years, absolutely addicted after I bought my first Jupiter 9 a few years ago. I use them on Canon Digital Cameras, sometimes with a focus confirmation chip. For some years I had a german website with technical data and pictures of all my lens (http://www.winken-zemke.de, perhaps someone has known the site). But it is temporary closed because there were so much spam and attempts to misuse the communication features of my CMS, that I decided to make a break. I will build it new and static in the future.
I think I'm not a 'real' collector anymore because there isn't enough spare time. I'm somewhat between a user and a collecor. I've sold a few lens during the last month - but there is enough left [:)]
Here are some of my lens:
Zenitar Fisheye 16/2,8
I use this lens often during weddings for wide angles from the back. Sometimes to much CA'S
Jupiter 9 MC 85/2
I had 3 or 4 of them, but I sold all but one. I love the smooth rendering with open aperture
Mir-10A 28/3,5
Sometimes heavy flares, but with perfect light the images are rendered with wonderful color and contrast
Tair 11-2 133/2,8 black
I have absolutely no information about this version of the well known tair 11. Nothing in the net, nothing in Princelles. It must be a small series - serial number starts with 03. That usually means it is not from an ordinary production line.
Mir-1v/w/sh ...
I have some of these in different versions - perfect color rendering, I love the results very much.
Helios 44 58/2
There are around 15 different versions at home. I often buy old cheap zenits at ebay to get a new one as a hidden gift [:D]
Mir-47M 20/2,5 - too much CA's and flares, I think I will sell it in the future
Jupiter 37AM 135/2,8 sharp and good color rendering, a good replacement for the much more expensive Zeiss Sonnar
There are some more, but I think this is enough for the first post ...[:D]
