Tiny macro lens

[Cheatah]

The Zeiss Tessar 3,5/35mm used to be working successfully in the analogue YASHICA T4/T5! The tiny lens is center mounted into an plastic camera cover. Fully open, and no focusing, one has to move back and forward to focus the macro Image, approx. M. 1:2,5. It works fine, as you can see in this Image!

Wow! Can you share a picture of the A7 with the lens seen from the side? Just to see how small this is

Sure no problem is coming! But one must add an adapter to this tiny lens, because of the missing mirror box of the SONY A7. In my case, it is a plastic camera cover with an Contax camera bayonet mount. This little TESSAR is an typical 4/3 lens design.

Here another samples shoot with this Little lens!

If you have mounted it shorter, it would be possible to get to infinity on the A7.  I use a few 35mm lenses mounted for E in focus mounts.

 Ahh, a guy who knows about all kinds of lenses. How do you like the Macro Elmarit R 60 2.8?

 

 I am looking at it for perhaps a middle lens and a Macro lens, and it does seem to fill the bill.

O.K. but I must use an CONTAX mount for this combo! Ist just an nice little toy, because I have an M. 2:1 macro lens!

Have you cropped the images? Isn't there a vignetting for the plastic parts?

Planar 35mm f/4.5- infinity to 30cm.  The planar was a macro lens.

No Sir, the macro toy is original!

Nice Setup! But the firm ZORKENDOERFER is offering similar sets to be used with enlarging lenses. This is not new!

Thanks.

 

I know. Zork (push-pull, overpriced crap) adapter is only for macro.

 

The one show allows infinity (to ~30cm) focus.

Leica R 60 Elmarit is a very nice lens indeed. Absolutely delightful for everything from macro (you need the Leica tube to get down to 1:1) to landscape. Lovely colours, masses of detail, very smooth bokeh. Only 2 weaknesses: for a 60mm lens, it is not really fast, and it is quite heavy. IQ is top-notch.

mounted for E in focus mounts.

It's unlikely that a tessar can cover a format

whose diagonal exceeds the FL of the lens,

at distance focus. The macro application is

at enuf extension to increase the coverage.

And the price of this interesting Tessar lens is?
