after while the closet match I found was : Yashica super Yashinon-r 135mm
and other opinion : Sankor lens
Stunning photography!
Nice, what is the actual name of the lens?
Just received the adapter For Nikon Z6 to my Konica Hexanon 57mm. This was shot at f1.4. Not sure about the bokeh. But in general use the lens seems excellent and easy to focus.

There is a Techart LM-EA7 in sales section for a good price. That may come in handy for youI'm having to radically rethink my lens choices as I've acquired carpal tunnel syndrome as part of another rheumatic condition. I'm shooting with Sony A7RIII and A7II but also have an Olympus E-M1 MkII with a basic Fotodiox adapter for each body. The Sony/Sigma lenses I have are simply too heavy for me to handle at the moment unless I use my Peak Design Slide which I prefer to keep on my 100-400 combination.
At the moment I have the FD 50mm F1.8 and the FD 135mm F2.8. I'm expecting delivery of an FD 100mm F2.8 SSC perhaps tomorrow. My next decision will be for a wide angle lens for landscapes, I'm torn between the 24mm and the 28mm FD lenses.
I went out yesterday by the Thames at Hampton Court as we were baby sitting our grandson and decided to use the 135mm on the A7II. First error was realising that exposure compensation only really worked in aperture priority so 2/3 of shots wasted there!
First shot is of my wife peering over the top of her glasses with grandson. Shot in the fairly gloomy front hall at ISO 1000 1/200th F2.8
This shot is of an old house with a tower by the lock, ISO 100 1/400th f5.6
Both these shots look better on Flickr than on here
Sorry for the long post, just dipping my toes in here. I'd be grateful for any tips regarding using these adapted lenses.

A question if I may (which may be silly), what sort of crop factor would you get on a 24mm primes (for film) used with an APS-C sensor - would it still be the 1.5x?

yep. crop factor is sensor based nothing to do with the lens. Also similarly lens focal length is a physical attribute of the lens and has nothing to do with the sensor.
In both case 35mm film is used as the "base" standard for calculation of field of view.

or 1.7x in the unlikely event you have one of the early Sigma Foveon cameras...It is 1.5x unless you use a Canon, then it's 1.6x

Yes despite it's smaller crop it was.Was that even considered APSC? I mean, if we keep going M43 is 2x and so on

Tbh guys if you are after cheaper older lenses why not spend the little extra on LA-EA4 and go with Minolta a-mount glass. They aren't expensive and cost around the same as manual lenses.
You can pick up things like Minolta 135mm f2.8 and still have some usable AF.
There is a Sony 85mm f2.8 which is pretty cheap used and also small/light.
Also not to mention rendering and colours of Minolta lens even the zooms is just great!
I've also investigated these, the LA-EA4 uses AF from the adapter only (now very dated technology) but unlike the EA3 has a motor to drive the AF on lens that don't have their own motor.I've read that the LA-EA3 was much better, as it uses the camera AF system not a built in iffy AF on the adapter. Some reviewers slated the EA4 because AF was terrible [I looked into the option when I was pondering on an A7RII]. It's going to end up pricier to buy the adapter and these A mount lenses and they will not be as good as vintage lenses for manual focus if you can MF with them to begin with. You've used old MF lenses, you know nothing modern can beat them for manual focus, they are designed specifically for that purpose and are usually of a higher build quality. The cheapest I can see that 85mm 2.8 is £149 on ebay, same with the Minolta 135 unless you're willing to buy from Japan. You can have a bunch of decent vintage primes for that.
Techart is actually more expensive than LA-EA4.
Regardless EA4's AF despite being dated works lot better than LM-EA7. EA4 is actually reliable
Also LA-EA7 is crap with longer lenses.
I can actually track birds with EA4+long lenses using centre point AF.
Any way my point was older a-mount glass doesn't cost much more than good manual glass in many cases. If someone doesn't want EA4 that's fine just buy a cheaper a-mount adapter for now but you still retain the possibility of having AF in future.
Hey guys
Got an adaptor today so I can use some old Olympus OM lenses on my A7ii.
I've got a 50mm 1.8, 24mm 2.8, 35mm 2.8 and a couple of zooms 70-210 and 80-200 I think.
Can't wait for a proper chance to try them out.
I'm looking for an old lens for portraits, maybe and 85mm 1.8 or a 135mm 2.8
Any thoughts or suggestions on what's decent?
Don't mind buying another mount so doesn't have to be om.
I've picked up a rokkor 135mm f/2.8 on Ebay that looks in good condition.
