Description:
1. Seikanon MC 300mm F5.6 Mirror Reflex (Same as Spiratone Minitel-S 300mm F5.6) - $260

This is a small and sharp mirror lens that is popular with many mirrorless camera users because of the small size, low weight and big reach. No typical lens can give you the same kind of weight and size-savings as this mirror lens. On APS-C this is effectively 450mm F5.6 and on M4/3 is 600mm F5.6!

This lens is the same as the highly-rated Spiratone 300mm F5.6 but rebranded under Seikanon (same 72mm filter thread and design: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/141781579699)

Lens is in very beautiful condition, almost mint. Focus is buttery smooth and optics are perfect. This lens is using the very versatile T2-mount that is currently with a Minolta MD mount adaptor. You can easily adapt this lens to any camera out in the market with the easily available T2 adaptors.

Lens comes with original lens hood, caps and original Skylight 1A and ND2X filters.

2. Sankyo Koki Komuranon 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 (M42 mount) - $70 or best offer

Rare Komura zoom lens with the versatile M42 lens mount, adaptable to practically all types of cameras. Sankyo Koki (Komura is brand name) is a Japanese lens maker well known for making some of the earliest super fast lenses. Also made many famous lenses for Leica, SLR, Medium and Large-format cameras. Komura lenses are known for their bokeh and contrast. KMC stands for Komura Multi-Coated.

Zoom, focusing and aperture rings turn and work as intended. Lens is clean and clear, without fungus or scratches. There is some minor amount of coating wear on the front glass, typical of old lenses. This will have no effect on images whatsoever. Comes with front and rear caps.

3. Spiratone Pluracoat 100mm F2 Fast Portrait Lens (FD mount) - $180 or best offer


On offer here is an very rare 100mm F2 (not F2.8) portrait lens. Spiratone is a very popular USA brand name in the 70s with lots of high-quality lenses, similar to Vivitar and Soligor. Such fast portrait lenses is uncommon even among the top lens manufacturers.


The body of this lens is in very good external condition (9+/10). Focusing ring and aperture control ring turns smoothly throughout their respective ranges. This lens is almost in perfect condition except that the coating in an inner lens had deteriorated such that it looks a little whitish when viewed at an angle. This seems to be a common problem with this particular lens. However this does not affect the pictures at all, at worst maybe a little loss in contrast. Nothing that can't be easily fixed in PS. Despite the cosmetic flaw, it still shoots very nice pictures


This very bright lens would make an excellent portrait lens where you can easily isolate the subject. A 3-D like effect can also be achieved. Test to believe! Lens come with a front & rear cap.

This is a Tokina-made Soligor 35mm F2 lens. C/D means computer designed and the red "P" stands for professional series. It is M42 mount which means it could be adapted to virtually any camera out there with the easily available M42->"your camera mount" adaptor.

8. Tele Lentar 105mm F2.8 (T2 mount) *Ideal for Mirrorless*

This is a very small-sized and light portrait lens in T2 mount, probably the smallest that I have came across. Despite its small size and weight, its very sharp! Ideally suited for small mirrorless cameras like NEX or M4/3 (see picture) with the appropriate adaptor.

This is a pre-set lens with 10 aperture blades giving a moderately round bokeh dot. Lens glass is clean and clear, no scratches or fungus. Focus is smooth and click-stops are firm. There is minor amount of oil on a few aperture blades but being a preset lens where you operate the aperture manually, there is absolutely no operational impact. Comes with front and rear caps.
