Bought his lens on a hunch that it might be a good buy, as I have not seen any other around, looks clean and tidy, and it was in hardly used condition. Realized later that it was not an M42 mount as described in the listing, but rather a T-mount, to which I needed to add a new lens adapter to the growing list of lens adapters that I already have for the aging E-P5.

One lens I could never miss out on is the Nikon series, and even with the lowly Series E variant, images are always beyond superlatives...

Being the occasional early riser, I do take the opportunity of looking out across to the park at the break of the sun, occasionally with a camera in hand. This is one of those days, and for the shots, the Olympus E-P5 was fitted with a vintage Minolta MD W.Rokkor-X 28mm f/2.8.

The lens was a surprise find; I had no prior idea or knowledge about its presence or make. It came through the mail out of a job-lot sale. Big and bulky, the lens, it seems, is made by Sankor, is a pre-set with an M42 mount, weighs in at a hefty 670 grams, and has many blades which I have yet to count.

When it came, Lumax Gold Star 200mm f/4 was less than perfect, though; it has a few tufts of fungal sprawls within its inner elements, but surprisingly, it is virtually dust-free. An interesting bonus to me was the built-in tripod mount on a rotating ring, which makes it convenient for me to mount on the E-P5 via an M42 mount adapter.
