ROW Visionar 100/1,6

Here's my latest from Visionar series.
Possible to be attached in lens turbo ( same with Canon DSLR), but need some work.

So this set is with helicoid adapter only+NEX5

I got the lens in ugly body condition, rubber grip is gone, replaced by leather grip, and repainted.
The important for me, optic is not bad, it has hair scratches cleaning mark only.
Tested in NEX+ Lens turbo.
wide open is impressive, all at f2,8

One thing bother me, the closest distance is 1,2 meter, not close enough to playing dof. But we can add helicoid adapter or extension tube for that.

Ernemann Anastigmat Ernostar 2,7/ 15cm

Ernostar was designed by Ludwig Bertele in 1923-24, who later also designed Sonnar in approx. 1930 and Biogon in 1935

this is the design of original Ernostar from wikipedia

Possibly from Zeiss Ikon's Klapp miniature or Ermanox camera.

from http://www.collection-appareils.fr/x/html/page_standard_eng.php?id_appareil=20214

I use Lens turbo+NEX at maybe F4 or 5,6. looks nice with lens turbo, sharpness at edges

All other shots are wide open

Vivitar 24/2 MC

It has 28 first serial number, so it's made by Komine.
I got it in Canon FD mount, so I cannot use it in lens turbo yet.
Looks decent performer.
soft at infinity at wide open, but very usable.
Compared to Vivitar 28/2,5 made by Kiron, it has smaller size and lighter. despite of it has faster aperture.
filter ring is 52mm, while 28/2,5 one is 67mm.
