04:59 I currently have several M42 to NEX adapters and all of them have three little grub screws that allow adjustment of the mount to align the lens barrel with the camera. Maybe some cheap adapters don't have this capability but every one I have ever used over the years does - as does the one shown in your video!

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Ah! okay i will check my adapter again ! thanks for the tips

[@erichlinser3994]

I could see the screws on your m42 adapter, great review, I’m probably ordering this lens soon.

[@lychgator]

Stock levels have been pretty low in Canada so far where I've looked. TTArtistan, send more copies!

[@danpete2325]

i watched many review of this lens, your one is most in-depth and useful!

[@TheRealRichardWong]

thank you!

[@the_black_douglas9041]

great review Richard, as always! Wow! TTArtisan doing great things again. I think the Meyer Goerlitz Primoplan uses the three element design too and also gets the bubbles. How cool is the M42 😎

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Thank you The_Black_Douglas! I think Primoplan uses a 5 elements design from memory

[@vaskoobscura_]

Fantastic video. Thumbs up. I recently bought this lens and am so happy with it. Just like you I really love the lenses that have more character and are less perfect.

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Yes! Most of the lenses are so technically great these days and lacks the individual character

[@KunalKumar1]

nice review Richard, also love a lens with character and great bokeh, have got a Asahi Pentax Super-Takumar 50 f1.4 which I love

[@TheRealRichardWong]

oh the Asahi Pentax Super-Takumar 50 1.4 is super cool!

[@LWJCarroll]

Aha Plano M42-L/T. Adaptor! Stopped video and zoomed in. Thanks. Laurie NZ.

[@JRodPhotoArt]

Very cool lens, might have to get this one!

[@TheRealRichardWong]

It's a very fun lens!

[@cditfurth]

Great as usual! Thank you. I own this lens, it's really funny.

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Christian, Enjoy!!! and thanks for watching :)

[@maciejryglewicz9775]

hi. Do u notice vignetting on full frame ?

[@TheRealRichardWong]

hi there, I've shared my vignetting test samples in this review :)

[@maciejryglewicz9775]

I was drunk whe i was watching video 😊 I think i will stay with my old Primotar 135. In my opinion its better lens for 100$ for bubbles ❤

[@malcolmcog]

Is this a Micro Four thirds lens ?

[@TheRealRichardWong]

No, it's a full frame lens with old M42 and Leica M mount, , but it can be easily adapted to any camera including micro four thirds

[@malcolmcog]

@@TheRealRichardWong Thanks Richard. I have recently bought a Lumix G9, after many years of a G1 then G80. This is why I am keen to buy M43 lenses ! (My favourite lens is a Panasonic Leica Summilux 25mm)

[@carlosandreviana9448]

These Chinese lenses are a lottery quality wise. Mine is sharper than yours but, unlike your 9mm 5.6, mine is way softer in the corners

[@TheRealRichardWong]

yes, the lower price/ cost does usually mean the variations would be a bit bigger.

[@AndrejsZavadskis]

need Nikon Z mount. dont like adaptors..

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Hey Zavadskis, just wondering why you don't like adaptors for a manual focus mechnical lens?

[@AndrejsZavadskis]

​@@TheRealRichardWong I have a lot of adaptors. they make your lens bigger and heaver and not comfortable for moving around. there is different alternatives without adapters and similar characteristics. we all know that it is question of time when TTartisan will make the same lens for all other cameras

[@TheRealRichardWong]

okay fair enough, But if TTArtisan releases this lens in Z mount, the size will be virtually identical to this lens in M/M42 mount + a Z mount adaptor because the flange distance has to be identical.

[@victorlim5077]

Hopefully they launch a Z mount version. Would look beautiful on the Nikon Zf.
