An old Sears M42 preset 35mm lens
On 2/4/21, Juan Buhler, discombobulated, unleashed:
Much better! Love it. Just watch out for serif fonts as they are a bit harder to read but Americans seem to like them ;-)

Well done, Juan. If I'm not mistaken, Sears lenses were made by Ricoh
for Sears Merchandising so it is not OT! (Soligor lenses were made by
Tokina). I've seen some advertised in SA but wasn't tempted! Seems to be
much like the original Takumar lenses in operation.

I found this lens on ebay for not too much money, and thought it was
interesting because I haven't seen many M42 preset lenses that weren't made
in the Soviet Union.
Super short, 2'34" video:

I have another short video about the FA35 queued to be posted next week.
I'm also open to suggestions, I have tons of lenses and it's hard to choose
which one to do next. What do you people think?
Some candidates:
K24/3.5
M24-35/3.5
Super Takumar 35/3.5
Super Takumar 28/3.5
Cheap/off brand 24/2.8 K mount (Marexar I think?)
Kiron 28/2 (I think this one has haze though!)
or even
Minolta 50mm macro
50mm Summilux with old dead fungus (this will actually be super interesting
I think!)
Industar 26 (50mm 2.8)
Jupiter 8 (50mm 2)
MIR-1B (37mm 2.8)
Yes I guess I do have a problem...

Thanks Cotty!
I still see tons of issues with my videos though!
I've been trying to make the fonts period-correct for the lens I'm looking
at, but you're right, I wasn't paying attention to serif vs sans-serif.
It's a really interesting process, not only I'm learning a bit about making
the videos themselves, but the overall production pipeline is fun and
rewarding to put together. Early on I wanted to assess the cost/benefit of
the whole process, and decided that making a new video all together should
not take more than 4-5 hours, not including the time making photos with a
given lens. Otherwise it's not worth it. Right now I have about 1-2 weeks
lead time for any video, so at any given time I have one or two videos I
haven't posted yet.
I always had a lot of respect for people doing film production (as opposed
to the actual, in my case, animators, software developers, etc) and how
their work keeps the process going and how a good producer can make the
whole thing pleasant and productive and a bad one can create a nightmare of
overtime and frustration. It's cool to see that works at a small scale as
well.

Thanks Alan.
The reason I believe this one was made by Tokina is several other Tokina
lenses I see online that have very similar or the same design:
http://forum.mflenses.com/vemar-old-tokina-135-28-t38951.html
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-m42-mount-tokina-28mm-f3-lens-1806269079
Those are two examples but there are more. I might be wrong though!

Probably an over-reaction to being scared by Comic Sans when we were all much
younger.

Enjoy your videos, Juan. Especially the images you create with the lens.
You probably know that there were several Asahi Optical Co. preset lenses.
It was the purchase of a very rare one, as part of a Spotmatic collection
that began my lens acquisition.
Or rather I should say the SALE of the rare one. A 1957 100mm f3.5 Takumar
(in m42) that I sold for a high dollar to a collector in France. That sale
funded additional purchases and started me on a buy/sell education in
Pentax lenses and bodies.
It was from another (200mm f5.6 purchased for $15) that I learned that slow
lenses could give you great colors and that oily aperture blades were of no
concern on a preset lens.
I believe that I still have the following Asahi Optical presets:
50mm f4 macro
135mm f3.5
200mm f5.6
300mm f6.3
There were also presets in the 105mm f2.8 and three "standard lenses" from
1957, a 58mm in f2.4, f2.2, and f2.0.

Stan you are the only one who voted so you're winning by 100% so far :)
The K24 will definitely be in a video soon. My copy is in super nice shape,
I remember I paid $50 for it on ebay, almost 20 years ago, to this day one
of my best finds there.
