Yesterday I watched a test by an Englishman on this lens.. Its bokeh is very specific.
M42, seriously?!
Thank you for not T2. I wonder when they will come to their senses and release a normal eyepiece attachment for the M42?
What is it, a mirror-lens?
Retro!
This lens is already reviewed by the famous Olegas on his YouTube channel. The lens is specific, not very sharp for today’s great matrices. However, the bokeh is not for everyone, as it is called “knuckles with rolls”. For example, it’s not appropriate for me to do this, it’s too pockmarked. Yes, the price of $300 is too steep. In a word - EVIL.
The saddest thing is the cheap design of the lens. Look at these thin walls of the body, thin rings - this is not at all the design required for a mirror-lens lens. At best, the lens will work well at 25C. At other temperatures it will sausage like Samyang 500/6.3.
Bah, TTArtisan discovered Maksutov...
Perhaps even copied from MC RUBINAR 4,5/300 MACRO (LZOS, 2019)
no, they seemed to officially say that this was a copy of the old Minolta.
Strictly speaking, this is not Maksutov’s scheme. In the Maksutov scheme, the corrector is meniscus and negative. There is a positive lens here.
There are some differences in the optical design with the prototype
