Looks good but don't know it. However I have a Super 8 Sankyo camera.

they did 2 types one using mirrors variation on the delrama.

and another rarer one using 2 optics like yashica scope.

 

both will be better than the delrama but maybe not as sharp as a yashica scope.

stopping down iris will even the miss match out.

it may need adjusting an easy job for some with delicate hands a disaster for someone with two club hands.

i've got one that looks almost exactly like that, but it's branded izukar-scope and the lens cap doesnt have the conversion table.

 

the bit on the end that says 0.7~1meter is a diopter that screws off. 

 

it needs to be stopped down to f3.5.

 

a shot on a nikon v1 with a takumar 35mm f3.5 with the diopter, straight out of the camera.

 

and one without, but with a soft takumar 35mm f2, straight out of the camera.

 

i could have sworn that i took some on a gh2 with a zeiss 50mm but i cant seem to find those pics.....

looking at the one listed it looks like mirrors this will need a heavier stop than 2 optics or a smaller sensor camera.

fuck me, that went for $600?! :blink:

 

right, mine's ( two optics one) going on the evilbay then.
