@mapix It's the 35mm Meyer-Optik Primagon. This was one of the first true wide-angle lenses. As quite an old lens it has limited wide open aperture (3.5) which means it needs decent daylight conditions, but it also has truly lovely colour rendition. You can see photos taken with this lens in my Brussels album. Thanks as always for the visit and likes.

Great and nice camera. Unfortunately, the camera is with me only in the display case, since I currently do not get to use them.

Wonderful album!! I just got lucky at auction and got a very old M42 Paroxitar 200mm f/4. It was a forensic lens and can focus to ~1m (1:3)! Presently its at Camera Max's for a CLA'ing (very sticky). It has caps, and case!!

Just got my Dads old FX2 today. Going to fire it up with a film and see where it takes me.
