A7 and the lens.

The grip is a HorusBennu leather 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.

Sample pictures: ISO 320.

Closest focus is 1.35m from outermost edge of the lens.

This old lens was sold for Braun Paxette cameras. It surprised me a lot. Wide open it's quite sharp already. So it's fully usable at F 5.6. It's astonishing, how short and light it is, even if you add the adapters. At F 32 I see no diffraction. A very nice find.

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.
