A7 and the lens.
The grip is a HorusBennu
grip attached to a Manfrotto 200PL style quick
release plate, a special plate made by HorusBennu for their grips. It
allows you to use the camera, with the grip attached, on a Manfrotto
RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter.

You may click
on the sample image (except closest focus) for full resolution. The
full resolution image opens in a new window, so you can keep it open
for comparison. Focus is on the
satellite
dish to the right of the big solar panel near the center of the photo.
F 3.5.
F 8.
F 16.
Closest focus is 3m (!) from
outermost
edge of the lens, so there is no sample picture.
This old
lens
was sold for Braun Paxette cameras. Wide open
it's sharp in the center, but soft at the edges with a bokeh that
reminds vaguely of mirror lenses. Stopped down it's fine. It's
relatively short
and light, even if you add the adapters.
The M39 Paxette Mount is the same thread as ordinary M39 (Leica), but
a different flange focal distance. Please refer to the Paxette
lens page.
