According provided by lens Pentacon 2.8 / 135 (zebra, Pre-set with 15 petals) huge thanks to Igor.
This is a very short review, as I already wrote about a complete copy of this lens - Pentacon 2.8 / 135 in black.
The lens options in black barrel and zebra frame are different:
- different design of control rings and their coloring.
- different lens enlightenment.
- different color marks, 'zebra' has red marks, 'black' has orange marks.
In all other respects, the lenses are completely identical.
The parameters shown in the photo gallery:
All shot on Canon EOS 350D. EGF lens on Canon 350D is 216mm. All shot on F / 2.8-F / 8.0 using a lens hood. On-camera JPEG L, high quality (without any processing). Noise reduction at slow shutter speeds was turned off. Parameters: contrast correction - 0, sharpness - 0, saturation - 0, tone color - 0. Used white balance: 'Sunny'. The size of the photos has been reduced to 3 MP.
How to use with modern cameras?
Lenses with mounting thread M42 (M42 X 1 / 45.5), such as the lens from this review, are very easy to use on almost any modern digital camera (both SLR and mirrorless), for this it is enough to choose the right adapter (adapter). You do not need to carry out any additional steps to modify the lens.
The cheapest adapters can be found at Aliexpress.com... There are adapters (adapters) with a chip that provide more convenience during shooting, usually chips are used to confirm focus and / or metering exposure, and form the correct EXIF. The chip does not affect the image quality in any way.
For some SLR cameras (for example, with the Nikon F-mount), you need to use adapters with a corrective lens, which allows you to focus correctly at all focusing distances. For any mirrorless cameras, such a lens is not needed, and the adapter is a simple decorated hollow metal tube with an appropriate mount.

Now your look all dry and dry. Sooner, stink like you were all alive, bully, soulful. Really good bulo chitati.
I see no reason to describe an almost complete copy of the lens, at the same time, for example, what is missing in the review https://radojuva.com.ua/2013/10/pentacon-2-8-135-pre-set-black/ ?
Citizens, you’re not watching a series, a person is trying for free for us, if the differences between the lenses are minimal, why go deeper into the details, you can read them by clicking on the link. Moreover, this review was previous. And the Arcadia of creative successes, accommodating and not picky customers, as well as a creative spark, which always pushes for new achievements and experiments.
Moreover, the photos speak more eloquently than words !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's dry there.
Just having recently read about the helios, the jupiter, ... like the bullets were written earlier, yours and the last look, the stench earlier, it seemed like more beautiful boules were written, not so dry, as if it was more soulful. Navigate the view "Review of the Pentacon auto 2.8 135 MC" https://radojuva.com.ua/2012/03/pentacon-auto-2-8-135-mc/ nabagato
These are features of the psychological perception of information.
To date, Arkady has tested a huge number of lenses, and not only with all possible focal and aperture variations. You must agree to write about the same thing. Moreover, when "shit" in kamentarii, then any person's all desire comes to naught.
:) you need as Ken or Photozone, turn off comments in the reviews :)
Arkady! Then you’ll get your PM downloaded and during the work I’ll call and ask what to buy (helios-81n or nikkor 50 1.8?))))))) And talk about how his whale no longer drags) or why my helios 44-2 such is not sharp and there is no infinity and how to do it and who has it) or how much is the glass that was in the review and why you are not a seller and write about lenses and what is your interest in it)
And so they call and ask, that's why in the section "about the project" https://radojuva.com.ua/about-radojuva/ no my phone.
Nі, not varto, kommentarі often fun;)
I wanted to say about the sore point, I myself was not from Ukraine, but from Latvia, respectively, I don’t know the language, as well as many who read this blog from Russia or many more from where, I myself hooked many on it from my country, and not only, and honestly, it is very difficult to read comments in Ukrainian, sometimes it is not even possible to grasp the essence, I will not be intrusive, but I think it is more correct to comment in the language in which you read the article .... am I wrong? IMHO
Soundly. Ale Bagato Ukrainians don’t competently write the writing :)
Arkadiyu, dyaky for chergovogo looking around. I love the creative work!
Alexander, with all due respect - wrong. The site is located in a deliberately Ukrainian domain zone, so local visitors have the right to leave comments in the state language or in one that will be understood by others. If we were in Lavtia, I would be grateful for articles in Russian instead of Latvian, but demanding the same from local commentators is too much. Well, the worst end is the Google translator.
Roman, there is truth in your words, you will have to use the translator further and read in the style of "mine is yours not to understand"
why do you need comments in Ukrainian?
They are most often “inquiring” rather than informing, and these are the problems of the people who wrote them that the Russian-speaking segment will not bother with the translation and answer them, not yours. ))
And many thanks to Arkady for his titanic work
Good evening everyone! Recently I bought a “Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Orestor 135 2.8” exacta mount. In principle, as far as I understand, this is the “progenitor” of this line of glasses ... Maybe someone who understands will tell you where you can find an adapter from exacta to nikon, if such exist at all ... (without losing infinity, of course). Thanks in advance!
I wanted to ask, I have a choice: there is a black, zebra and a 6-petal car, which is better to take?
I will answer myself, I took black but with 15 petals :)
Ivan, how much did you buy with 15 petals and what is the approximate price for a lens with 15 petal-black lenses now?
thank you
Wow, more than a year has passed, and I still did not answer, I didn’t just come here, I gave 100 green, though in very good condition ...
Hello Arkady!
I have such a lens (zebra), it stands on it that the aperture closes to 32, and on my copy it does not close further 8. And at 8 there is a bold red dot. Why is that? Maybe there is some kind of limiter somewhere? But I didn’t find one.
The diaphragm control mechanism may be defective. Or maybe ... “For presetting, pull the aperture ring towards the front lens and set the desired value, and then release the ring into place. Using a preset, you can set only fixed values of the F-number, but the aperture control ring rotates smoothly and you can set any intermediate aperture.

Hello,
I don’t know if you are still responding to the comments, but it's worth a try :)
My question is, the M42 adapter does not fit, a couple of millimeters is not enough to wind it onto the lens, can you advise what else you can try?
Bayonet for sure 42?
Maybe you have one?
http://ali.pub/48f65x
I don’t know :) Everywhere they write that M42, but I don’t know how to check :)
You can say for sure that the adapter that was on Helios 44 cannot be screwed onto this one, since the hole is small for it.
Thanks for the link, I'll try, it might work :)
The only one who will tell you is the seller. In order not to point your finger at the sky. Usually in the catalog, the seller immediately indicates the mount (or changes, alterations to which the lens was subjected) and you can select an adapter in advance. Sometimes lenses are supplied to them directly on the camera. Good luck
Ruler. thread diameter 42mm
Anastasia, judging by the photo you posted, you were sold an incomplete lens, without a rear part with an M42 thread. Compare the shank of your lens with the shank in the photo posted by Arkady and you will understand everything. And the shank on these lenses is unscrewed and the M42 thread or the bayonet mount is on it.
Lately written, but maybe it will be useful to someone. Sometimes unscrupulous ones are sold without this shank. It is very difficult to find it on sale, except to order a new one from a good turner, but exact dimensions are needed.
I looked at my Pentacon today. There, Anastasia, where you tried to wind the adapter, there is no thread at all. It's just a round tube with a diameter of 43 mm. Behind it, down on a wider part, there is a thread onto which the shank is screwed either with a thread or with a bayonet mount. A shank for such a lens with an M42 thread sometimes comes across on a German ebay branch, I once met. Take a look, if it's still relevant, you might be lucky. And if not, then only to the turner. It is not difficult to carve it, the main thing is to observe the dimensions with an accuracy of 0,1-0,2 mm.
