Any info on this lens? I bought it recently and it looks pretty interesting. The diaphragm ring is stepless, but can be locked, and with the same button you can set up a limit (i.e., only from 3.5 till 5.6) It also has 10 or 11 (hard to count) diaphragm blades, it looks extremely well rounded at almost all stops. It's a 135mm prime, 3.5f.
Sadly, except the glass ofcourse, it's built out of mostly plastic.

Oh, it's by Revue btw. Nothing unheard of, but I can't seem to find anything on this one.

To sell or to use it? If it is the latter then I say go for it as it could be a lot of fun even if you don't keep it.

Revue/Revuenon, like Vivitar or Sears, is one of the "factory-less" brands of lenses; the lens could be actually manufactured by Cosina, Tokina, Chinon or one of a dozen other smaller companies. Sometimes there even were several very different lenses of the same focal length/aperture sold under the same name.
The only reliable way to find out anything about a lens like this is to stick it on your camera and snap a few test photos.

I'll be sure to do so, just wondering if there's any specific info on it. Haven't seen much lenses like this, and I own quite a lot.
