sup /p/

Would you mind telling me if any of those two lenses (1, 2) are worth anything? They are used, of course.
Now on to number 3 in the pic. As /p/ probably knows, it's a 'thing' to meter the brightness in order to get a good shot. (with an old camera) What I don't understand is the "°DIN"-thing and the "ASA". I'd be glad if anyone would explain.

surprisingly, pic related

whya re they blureed faggot?

Probably not, the 3 is a lightmeter. Wiki DIN and ASA, i forgot what din is but ASA = ISO for film.

ASA is like ISO. It measures a film's responsiveness to light. Like, 100 ASA film needs a longer exposure time than 800 ASA film at the same aperture but the 800 film will likely have more grain/noise compared to the 100 film.

The two lenses look a bit foggy, do you have a camera that can use them?

btw, if you're wondering how to use the light meter, just hold it in the scene you're trying to capture. The red needle should point to a number. Spin the silver ring until the number being pointed at by the needle is aligned with your current ASA film speed. The numbers at the bottom refer to shutter speed and matching aperture to get a properly exposed photo.

If you wanna test it out. Use a digital camera with full manual controls. The ISO is the same as ASA.

Ok thanks. I looked up DIN, seems like its also ISO.

>>205990
It's blurred because /p/ doesn't have to know what is reflected in them.

>>205994
I'm not sure. My father owns an old but high-quality Canon SLR but I didn't try the lenses yet.

What kind of lenses are they anyway? Number 2 looks like a tele-lens but I'm a noob so I dunno.

Yeah I thought of that, I was only unsure about DIN and ASA =D
It's just a cool addon to play with, I mean I don't really need it, do I? Live View (p&s) and a histogram should be enough to control the exposure.
I'll test it though, to see if it gives me different results.
By the way, my cam has 3.5 aperture which is not on the lightmeter lol :O

Then select what goes in between. At the current setting shown on your pic. f/3.5 looks like a 1/750 shutter.

>>205998
But /p/ needs to know how clear the lenses are. A 50mm f/1.0 that costs like a few thousand dollars now is worth shit if it's sandpapered like fuck.

And the mm is the focal length. To put it simply for you, higher mm, closer zoom. Around 50 is normal lens, less than that is wide, more than that is tele.

I'm also not sure if those lenses will work on the Canon. What mount are they? Can you give us a pic of the backs?

They're M42 screwmount lenses. With an adapter, they'll go on Pentak K-mount, Canon EOS (not Canon FD, IIRC) mount, and Four-Thirds mount, but they won't be much use except at smallish apertures on the Four-Thirds.

They'll also go on some other mounts, go look it up. (I found they were M42 mount by running a websearch for them. You could, too.)

If your father's camera won't take them, get yourself a cheap Pentax Spotmatic film camera off e-Bay and it won't even need an adapter. Just film.

There's also some indication, however, that the 135/2.8 was also produced in Pentax K-mount, in which case get a cheap Pentax K-mount camera and an adapter for the other one. You can do your own research for that; I can tell you the best one you could get for film is an LX and the best you could get for digital is a K20D, but do your own research if either of those is out of your budget.

You can tell if it's K or screwmount because the screwmount one will be like a screw. Let us see the bottoms.

The 50mm is a normal, which means it roughly approximates human vision. The 135mm is indeed a tele, it compresses spatial relationships, relative to human vision.

They're worth taking pictures with.

Here's one for auction, for instance, found through a Google search:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Revuenon-50mm-f1.7-fast-prime-lens-PK-fit-+-sky-+-caps_W0QQitemZ270245011554QQ
cmdZViewItem?IMSfp=TL0806141121a32728

They passed through a German mail order camera company named "Quelle" which rebranded stuff it sold as "Revue," lenses as "Revuenon," so there's no telling where it came from, at least with my five minutes of websearching. That auction suggests Tokina for that 50mm, but it could easily be wrong.

This should be enough to get you started. Get yourself to the search engines.

Wow thanks! Too bad they don't fit on my father's cam. Maybe I'll get a cheap camera.

>>206010
Here you go. Looks unscratched, needs a cleanup, though.

>>206030
Yeah, that's a K-mount.

Do you want film or digital, and what's your budget?

To be honest I didn't really want to use them but rather sell them.
As that wouldn't make much money (this thread told me), I'm still not sure if I'd use them because I have my cam and I'm happy with it.

But what would the cheapest digital camera cost for these lenses?
Btw, on the axle bearing of the zoom lens there are some (maybe 3 or 4) balls missing I think. Is that bad?

It'd be rather silly to buy a DSLR to specifically use these lenses, but they fit on Pentax, Canon, and Olympus bodies (with an extra adapter, mind you) so just find the cheapest one those companies offer.
