Up for sale are three lovely, late-serial number Oct-19 mount Lomo lenses. 1992 is the last year that lomos were made, and so late 80s / early 90s Lomos are more sought after than the older models.
Here are the prices (transaction via paypal):
22mm OKC 3-22-1 (910002) t2.3: SOLD!
35mm OKC 11-35-1 (920035) t2.3: SOLD!
50mm OKC 1-50-6 (870317) t2.4: SOLD!
These prices include full insurance and delivery via USPS within the continental USA; I'm willing to ship overseas, but we'll have to adjust postage accordingly. If you want the whole set, I'll knock $47 off the price and sell the set for $1,300.
And now here is some description of each lens.
**22mm**
This is a near mint 22mm 3-22-1 Kinor style from 1991. No fungus, haze, oil, and (almost?) entirely free of dust. The iris ring and focus ring turn smoothly. The lens seems to have encountered little, if any, use. It's very hard to find 22mm Lomos in this kind of condition from the last years of production, and often they sell high. Comes with front and rear caps.
**35mm**
This lens is a solid performer in the Konvas style from 1992. Optically it works great with no fungus or haze, and gives quite nice results. Comes with front and rear caps. Normally, I'd price this much higher, but there are a couple ofthings that make me price it quite lower:
(1) The aperture ring's marks are somewhat miscalibrated such that you are always a little brighter than what the lens indicates. What this means is that if you are at,say, T2.8, the iris marks will indicate that you are somewhere between T2.8 and T4. If you are wide open, then the iris marks indicate being just above t2.3. ***This is not a big deal unless youare doing pretty precise light meter readings, etc. The iris itself turns smoothly.***
(2) The main reason for the bit of mark-down is that (a) there are a few little marks on the outer edges of the front of the lens and (b) there is a little smudge on the outer edges of the back of the lenses. I think the marks on the front are very tiny oil drops. Not fungus or haze, and the same for the smudge on the back. ***Neither of these imperfections affect the image according to my tests.** I'm included two sample pics taken at 16x9 from the 35 to show this (one of lettering in a poster, the other of a brick wall adjoining drywall). They were lit within asimple halogen practical.
Anyway, I think this lens is a good bargain price for a solid performer.
**50**
This is a great lens in the Kinor style from 1987. Free of fungus or haze, with a little bit of dust and very tiny micro scratches on the rear that do not affect the image. The front element is clean. Mechanically it functions beautifully, with the iris and focusring turning smoothly. Comes with front and rear caps.
