Pierre bought this lens for about 25 € (in Ukraine), and sent it to me along with cameras to be revised. I did not charge him the revisions, he did not charge me the lens.
MC Kaleinar 5N 2.8/100mm
MC Kaleinar 5N 2.8/100mm, offered by Pierre, received January 18th, 2017.
Arsenal has developed its own ranges of lenses to equip its reflex cameras, all in bayonet mount, first a proprietary mount, called "Automat" for the Kiev 10, 11, 15, and then in Nikon mount.
The Nikon mount being not compatible with my M42 mount, then Canon EOS, cameras, I had no lenses in this range. Now I use a Sony A7, and I have a Nikon adapter, so it becomes interesting to present an Arsenal lens, preferably this 100mm, focal that does not exist in the lenses for Zenit.
Note that you can find on ebay Kaleinar-5Ns sold with a factory M42 adapter. Obviously these are the most expensive ones...
The painting, curious in appearance, no longer held, the rubber ring was not original and did not hold. I removed the paint and preferred to leave the metal bare, greased the helicoid, and put a rubber ring from a Japanese out-of-order zoom.
