In a country garden...
Fujinon 55mm f:2.2
Sony a7C
The Fujinon was one of my rare flea-market purchases. It came on a Fuji M-42 camera body together with two interesting Revuenon lenses, both of them rebranded Tomiokas. Despite the M-42 mount, the lens cannot be fitted to a Pentax on account of a tiny metal lug on the mount. It does however fit on my Sony adapters. The glass is in good condition, but the focussing ring - apparently it was made of bakelite - had long since disintegrated. Nonetheless everything works. The optical formula is said to be based on the Unar, a four-element lens designed in the 1890s by Paul Rudolph and briefly produced by Zeiss - a predecesser of the famous Tessar. The Fujinon 55mm f:2.2, which in its day was Fuji's cheapest kit-lens, is noted for its interesting bokeh.
