AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I am selling the very extensive photography collection of my late father. He was a passionate hobby photographer for 65 years and in recent years also experimented with alternative lenses on digital cameras. He would disassemble the lenses if necessary for cleaning or repair. I am not a photography expert myself, so I describe the lot as thoroughly as possible, including as many detailed photos as possible.
READ the information below and carefully examine the attached photos to avoid any misunderstandings.

The lens diaphragm operates only manually via a trap mechanism! See detailed photos.
Focus works perfectly
Is any dust visible in the lens for assessment? See the photos.
comes with an adapter for a digital Fuji camera and a UV filter from B+W.

What makes this lens special is the bubble bokeh. In situations with small points of light in the background—such as shimmering light between leaves, reflections on water, or Christmas lights—these highlights render as perfectly round 'bubbles.' These bubbles often have a bright edge and a more transparent center, creating an almost soap bubble-like effect. This makes the lens popular among photographers seeking an artistic, dreamy background blur.
At a fully open aperture (f/2.2), the lens gives a soft, warm appearance with a slight glow. As you stop down, the image becomes sharper and contrast increases, but the characteristic bokeh remains visible as long as there are strong light reflections in the background.

The detailed photos are part of the description.


Combined shipping of lots is possible, but only if they are won in the same auction. This is to save on shipping costs.
