Look at the pics, pretty obvious it is a mounting flange...

Post by: Macro_Cosmos on January 28, 2018, 05:24:55: This lens is totally hand-holdable, in fact, I got a 6-pack from doing so :P

Anyway, what a beautiful beast. Would realllllly love to see some actual shots from it! ;)

Post by: Erik Lund on February 21, 2019, 16:54:05: How knew I would cross paths with this beauty, what a coincidence :D The new owner is none other than Svend Erik from Photografica he was kind enough to take it out of the vault and let me have a closer look 8)
It is just as beautiful as the 6mm f/2.8 sister! and Mint condition just an amazing piece of glass. Unfortunately the price tag reflects that; 100.000,- €

Plan is to build at least a Hasselblad medium format mount for it as a sort of transition mount for similar applications such as other MF applications, well I know what to do next winter,,,

I'm not seeing Fatali in this thread, would you be good enough to point out where he's mentioned?

Post by: Hugh_3170 on February 23, 2019, 12:36:51: I like Erik's second image - the new owner seems transfixed with his new lens. (But @ EUR100k, he is entitled to I guess. :) )
